When it comes to delivering and measuring online education, one size does not fit all.
As your trusted advisor, we understand:
In-Person Training Challenges:
1. Logistics and Scheduling:
- Coordinating schedules for all participants can be difficult.
- Finding a suitable location that accommodates everyone.
2. Cost:
- Expenses related to travel, accommodation, venue hire, and materials
- Keeping materials current and re-purposing training material from other sources
3. Engagement and Retention:

- Ensuring that participants retain and apply what they have learned
4. Consistency:

3. Self-Discipline:

- Adapting content to suit different learning styles and preferences
- Supporting AI and multimedia is critical in a modern training environment
General Training Challenges:
