How can you benefit from online training courses?

We all live busy lives and often have to juggle multiple commitments - work, family, friends as well as leisure activities. With so many things vying for our attention, it becomes difficult to carve out a little bit of time for ourselves in order to learn a new skill.

With technology playing a vital role in most aspects of our daily lives, it is crucial that we actually take some time out and focus on our own continuous professional development. With the advent of the global market, we now live in a world where we need to compete with others as well as with technology.

The e-learning market is predicted to be worth over £250 billion by 2025 according to a recent study by the research and markets website. This signals that more and more people are actually turning to online training courses to acquire new skills that can help them both professionally as well as personally.

There are a whole host of reasons why you can benefit from online training courses and why you should consciously strive for self-improvement/personal development.

Firstly, online training courses are highly accessible. There is no need to travel to a physical location which makes it easy for you to dip in and out of courses based on your needs. Simply log in from any internet-enabled device and you are good to go.

Building on the notion of accessibility is actually the flexible nature of online training courses. If you are the type of person that juggles multiple commitments, then online training courses are tailor-made for you as they give you the flexibility to learn on your terms.

They say that knowledge is power. We live in a world where knowledge is the currency of choice for many people and organisations. Regardless of what industry you’re currently involved in, there is a high chance that things are changing primarily because of technology.

Online training courses give you the chance to access concepts and theories that are working in the real world and are often delivered by experts within the industry. This opens up the opportunity for you to stand out from the crowd and approach challenges with a unique perspective.

Another key benefit of online training courses are the fact that they are often cheaper than face to face courses. A traditional training programme delivered in person will require the organisers to charge a higher fee to factor in the cost of the building, training materials, tutors etc. In contrast, online training courses are relatively cheaper to produce and therefore these cost savings can be passed on to you.

Here at iOB Business, we have developed our unique online Learn Centre that is specifically designed to help our Partners develop the business skills they need to grow a successful Digital Agency. We have created a number of internally generated courses covering a wide array of topics including sales, marketing and the operational side of running a thriving business.

We recognise that every person has their own unique key skills and characteristics. Our goal at iOB Business is to help you grow the right skills to manage your own Digital Agency. The workplace and academia don’t always prepare you with the entrepreneurial skills you need to adapt, modify and pivot to maximise opportunities.

Giving our Partners bite-sized videos on the areas that are relevant to their growth often helps with information retention as well as developing the confidence to adopt these skills into their day to day lives.

Until next time, take care.
