The Benefits of Online Training in the Construction Industry

With most UK organisations saying that training is a priority for them, it will be no surprise that online courses continue to increase in popularity. Whilst online training has always been popular, the digital transformations that most sectors have experienced in recent years continue to see virtual options as the chosen form of education for many companies. The construction and utilities industries are no different with effective online training now available from many awarding bodies.

At Pragmatic Consulting, we offer a wide range of digital training opportunities to support the preferences of most companies. Whilst this option is highly convenient, additional benefits are also to consider. Keep reading to learn what these are.

How Does Online Training Work?

Our online training takes place via the virtual meeting platform Zoom. The teaching method offers the experience of being ‘in-person’ but with attendees being able to join from anywhere in the world. This form of training often includes a mix of live teaching, videos and breakout rooms and offers just as much interaction as our traditional training courses.

What Are the Advantages of Choosing Online Training?

The benefits of online training are extensive with some of our top reasons included below:

• Accessible Online training can be joined by anyone with a digital device. This means that the same level of education is available to everyone within a sector with location and access to transport not being a hindrance.
• Time Online training saves time! Removing travel to and from the training venue can be a considerable time saving. This reduces overall costs while improving the overall training experience attendees.
• Collaboration Online training is a great method of encouraging people from different locations to work together. Not only does this provide a positive experience for employees, but also means that a variety of perspectives are available that may be influenced by trends in different locations.
• Affordable Companies can save money by not having to pay for travel costs or overnight stays for training that is intended for a couple of days.
• Compliance Essential for all sectors but particularly useful for construction and utility companies, online training means that the latest information can always be shared when required. This eliminates the chance of training becoming outdated and ensures companies are always operating in line with standards and regulations as everyone has the same level of understanding.
• Effective Teaching Online training helps attendees to feel like they are having a unique experience. As well as being able to relax, which is essential for retaining information, there is also the option to share various visual resources and digital links that can be used long after the training has been completed.

What Types of Online Training are offered by Pragmatic Consulting?
