Did you know online learning is 22 years old and the world e-learning was coined in 1998?
Coincidentally, the same year Google launched.
It’s never been easier for learners to choose from a multitude of topics generated by many organisations and sites such as YouTube and they don’t even have to leave their desks!

“If you want to teach people a new way of thinking, don’t bother trying to teach them. Instead, give them a tool, the use of which will lead to a new way of thinking.”

– R.Buckminster Fuller

What are the Benefits of Remote Learning?

Technology is a major disruptor of the way things have been done over the years and none more so than in the realms of training and education. There are so many resources available to help people with their learning. One of them is remote learning. Here’s a few of ours benefits (for everyone involved in the process) can you add your own?

What about Face to Face Training?

Learning and development, even though crucial to any company involved with IT, can be costly and time consuming to a company, especially if you are sending people on training courses. Managers and business owners find it hard to justify, or afford to send employees on training courses when there’s work to be done at the office.

[/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=”custom” accent_color=”#9f3333″][vc_toggle title=”The costs”]

Think about…

The hours away from work.
Training course fees.
Accommodation, travel and other expenses incurred whilst the employee is away.

[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”The costsThe Disadvantage”]

On a good training course, trainees will probably remember about 75% of what they have been taught (so they haven’t really been taught it!).
In most cases you would be lucky if 75% of the training is relevant.
Trainees generally don’t get much time to practice anything but the basics.

[/vc_toggle][vc_column_text]

Nowadays, face-to-face training can’t give you the one-on-one attention, and it’s usually too much information in one go to digest!  Remote training allows you to learn at your own pace with interactive video and activities to reinforce your learning  Find out more about how we can help you.
