e-Learning

e-Learning is has boomed over recent years to become a very popular method of learning. In the CPID's 2013 Learning nad Talent Development Study, 74% of companies reported using some level of e-learning with 91% of companies reporting it to be very useful when combined with other methods and nearly 3/4 of respondents saying it is essential for learning. Clearly it cannot be ignored.

1. More Flexible

    e-Learning can be done in short chunks of time that can fit around your daily schedule. Unlike public schedule and in-house training, you don't have to dedicate your company. Instead, you will have a set amount of learning, normally divided into modules, want to do all of the learning in one day as you work better this way, you can. However if your schedule doesn't allow you an entire day off your everyday task- then you can easily spend an hour or 2 here and there at times that suit you.

2. Mobile 

    As e-Learning can be done on laptops, tablets and phones. It is a very mobile method. Learning can be done on the train, on a plane or any other time that could normally be wasted. Whilst you used to be confined to the classroom, the whole world can now be your classroom.

3. Lower Cost

     As you aren't using a trainer's time or any room or equipment, e-Learning tends to be the much cheaper option. If you already have a device capable of carrying out the training on, then the savings can be considerable. Therefore if you and your company are on a budget, this can be the ideal option for you. Equally for conpanies that have thousands of employees then it can reduce the cost per head especially on areas such as Money Laundering, Compliance and Microsoft Office training.

4. Global

     With very few restrictions companies can be confident that their staff can receive the same content regardless of their location, and in many cases, their nationality. Therefore if you staff understand and use comman methodology, e-Learning is a useful way of ensuring this happens with ease and reduced cost.

5. Tailor it ti you 

     e-Learning courses aren't confined to be fixed to try and suit the needs of the majority. If you feel you already know a particular area well and don't need to spend an hour on it again, then you can skim over it and concentrate that time on something you feel you need to work more at. Everyone is able to learn at their own pace. A massive factor that only e-Learning can provide for.
