Distance Learning
Online and distance learning offers flexible, office-based training. Employees can complete the training at their and your business' convenience. Online or distance-learning courses eliminate travel or accommodation costs and often cost less than classroom-based programmes. Smaller businesses without the time or resources to evaluate courses may want to look out for professionally recognised learning providers.
There are many e-learning and distance-learning courses. Courses can take half an hour or several weeks to complete. They can be bought off-the-shelf or tailored to your business needs, and they can focus on specific bite-sized topics or lead to a recognised qualification such as a Masters in Business Administration.
E-learning courses can be fully automated or live. This means that a tutor can interact with employees wherever they may be. Online presentations, e-books and simulations provide a variety of ways to learn. Discussion forums and knowledge-sharing tools allow learners to communicate and discuss issues with each other.
