R.O.I. & Savings Calculations

While there are many benefits to web-based training, your Return on Investment is still a key consideration in moving from traditional instructor-led training to an e-learning platform.

To help you determine your ROI, we’ve included an abbreviated chart which compares instructor-led training and elearning using standard industry costs.

Assuming a traditional instructor-led training plan that includes:

100 trainees who attend 5 days of training.
25% will travel (25 employees) @ $1500/week
1 trainer for 10 weeks, or 2 trainers for 5 weeks

An additional benefit is that 100 employees can be trained simultaneously rather than in a typical 4 or 5 week instructor-led approach.

	Classroom Training	E-learning
