Onsite Training: Still a Viable Solution to Learn New Skills
Even if we have online services that offer convenience in training personnel to develop or upgrade skills, traditional classroom trainings will still be an option for companies to train. True, there is an outstanding benefit to getting enrolled in computer based trainings, but onsite trainings will still be an available solution to companies needing one.
I usually spend a day or two to learn a new technical skill in my previous work. I like getting trainings usually because it gets me away from the pressure of my workplace. On top of that, I get those trainings after work or during rest days, and my previous company paid me overtime work rates for that. Our trainers often come outside of the company – they are just invited over to get up equipped with a new skill.
This scenario is a lot similar to what Countrywide Training is offering to their corporate clients: they send a over certified instructor to conduct an onsite training to companies. Their trainings are as basic as learning how to use Microsoft Office to getting IT certification trainings. There are soft skills training too, for those who need to learn people skills such as that of customer service.
One outstanding benefit about onsite trainings over online computer based trainings is that students are focused on learning the new topics. However, these trainings are not really very applicable to freelancers, unless we are able to pool up as a big group to train.
This is a paid review.
