In order to achieve a better view and validate the study, researcher attempts to give details of how technology acceptance models help Jordanian trainees firms in accepting e-learning technology, and how if applied will result more attention to usage behavior. The empirical examination of study model which developed based on Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology "UTAUT" which indicates that the Jordanian trainees' firms' usage behavior of WBT is determined directly by performance expectancy; effort expectancy; web-based training infrastructure; trust; culture; and behavioral intention. This model gives trainee a new tool to forecast the success of WBT deployment in training courses.
