In line with the digital revolution, online courses have become an increasingly popular alternative to traditional classroom courses – also in the workplace. More and more companies are choosing to offer training via digital platforms, and the benefits are many. Here we go through the most important reasons why online courses are now the first choice for many businesses.
Flexibility and accessibility
One of the biggest advantages of online courses is the flexibility they offer. Participants can complete the training when and where it suits them, without having to travel to a specific location at a set time. This is especially valuable for companies with employees spread across multiple locations or who work shifts.
Cost savings
Online courses can reduce costs related to travel, accommodation and lost work time. The company does not have to pay for physical premises, course materials and often also for the instructor's travel. This makes it economically advantageous, especially for training many employees.
Individual pace and better learning
With online courses, each participant can adjust the pace to their own needs. They can pause, rewind, and repeat difficult topics. This contributes to better understanding and increased learning outcomes, compared to classroom courses where the pace is controlled by the instructor and the group.
Easy follow-up and documentation
Digital course platforms give the company a complete overview of who has completed the course, and when. This simplifies follow-up, reporting and documentation of mandatory training. Many online courses also offer the option of automatic certificate issuance upon passing the exam.
Adapted to different course needs
Online courses today cover a wide range of subject areas, including scaffolding courses, hot work, first aid and fall protection. GTM Kompetanse, for example, offers flexible online courses that combine theory with practical exercises, ensuring both good understanding and relevant skills training.
