It would never happen but the way to get change would be to to get a CAA Ops inspector to do a full type rating course including having to do all this crap. Then they might wake up to how corrosive the creep of CBT has become. It really isn't appropriate to expect pilots to do ladder climbing and box lifting H&S modules in the middle of aircraft tech.
CBT started way way before the current spate of e-learning. I remember Bob and Bill well from my first 737 type rating.
Bob “the landing lights are controlled by a switch on the overhead panel”
Bill “touch the switch”
Bob “you now know how to turn on the landing lights”.
Now that was agony and taught me sweet FA.
