Why Online Training?

Employees are becoming more decentralized, government-mandated training is on the rise, and training budgets are tighter than ever...the time is right for Web-based training. Studies show that online training can be as effective or even more effective than classroom or CD-ROM-based courses. Plus, online training can be more convenient, less expensive, and easier to manage.

No Travel Cost
According to training researcher Brandon Hall, editor and publisher of the Multimedia & Internet Training Newsletter, you'll save 40% to 60% annually using Web-based training.

Quick and Easy Updating of Course Content
Online courses are easily updated to reflect changing industry regulations. Plus, the latest version of the material is quickly available to students — without the turn-around times for printing new books or burning CD-ROMs and distributing them.

Convenient Anytime, Anywhere Training
Students can log onto courses delivered over the Web at work or at home, day or night — all you need is a multimedia computer with an Internet connection.

Interaction with a Course Expert and Other Students
Unlike CD-ROM-based programs, online training has the capability to incorporate threaded discussion groups for students to discuss coursework with their peers and a messaging system for asking course-related questions of an instructor or industry expert.

Simplify Course Administration and Record Management
Automated tracking of student progress and completion of classes is cost-effective and easy to manage. Information is readily available and customized reports may be created for printout.

Customized Course Content
Material may be tailored to meet your organization's needs or a specific department's job-related requirements to comply with government safety standards.
