A life-cycle costing approach was applied to the Radioman-A Core and the Interior Communications Electrician-A courses using the individualized and conventional strategies. The analysis included: a review of all the factors that make up the life-cycle costs of a course; an application of the life-cycle costing approach to evaluate conventional instruction and individualized instruction; sensitivity analyses to learn how changes in certain factors affect the costs of those strategies. Keywords include: Training cost analysis; economic analysis; life-cycle costs; computer managed instruction; instructor managed instruction; conventional instruction; radioman-A core cost analysis; interior communications electrician-A cost analysis.
