Learning in Today’s Environment With Online, Instructor-Led Courses

Top 3 Reasons to Consider Online, Instructor-Led Courses
by Rochelle Wheeler Posted on June 08, 2020

Online, instructor-led courses are on the rise and the wave of the future when it comes to training and e-learning.

Businesses are navigating unchartered territory during the COVID-19 pandemic. What began with the cancellation of conferences, was followed by a halt to in-person meetings and restricted travel.

The majority of today’s workforce is now, at least temporarily, working remotely from home while adapting to significant change.

In the meantime, technology continues to evolve rapidly, making training a crucial priority.

A well-trained staff:

  • Increases productivity
  • Saves time
  • Allows your resources to implement new features and processes that will streamline your technical initiatives in 2020 (and beyond).

Now is the perfect time to sharpen your skills, but how does the current disruption affect training and learning?

Here are the top three benefits for partaking in an online, instructor-led course.

1. Interact With Expert Instructors, via the Internet

In today’s environment, factors such as health concerns, the feasibility of travel, and time constraints all make attending physical, event-based training difficult. That’s why online instructor-led training is the perfect match for you and your business.

Live instructor-led training brings the best of Sitefinity, OpenEdge, MOVEit, and WhatsUp Gold to you via an interactive, online environment.

2. Improve Resource Efficiency and Decrease Overall Training Expenses

Take a look at the bottom line. Instructor-led courses are simply more cost-effective. You will reduce the costs associated with travel, lodging, and meals, as well as your employee’s time associated with attending in-person training classes. Attendees will just need access to a computer to complete their training.

3. Access to the Same Excellent Training From the Convenience of Your Home Office

You will have access to engaging educators along with the same comprehensive training content without the need to leave your home office. You'll be advancing your skillset from a convenient and safe location. Another side benefit is that this will decrease your training costs and maximize your training budget. These benefits make instructor-led online training a win-win situation.
