Have you ever considered the power of convenience? Remember when banking apps started letting us log in using our fingerprints instead of a password? What a day!

Something that should always drive innovation is convenience, and when it comes to training, we’ve been predicting this particular change for years! A recent study has shown that the corporate online learning industry is set to grow by over 250% by 2026, so we’re way ahead of the game here!

In this article we’re gonna go over all the reasons why switching to video training is the right move to make!

THINK OF THE MONEY YOU CAN SAVE…

I mean, this one is obvious, right? The money and time that is spent traveling to and from the training location is eradicated just like that if the training is online. But it’s not just that… the person doing the training needs to be paid, and not just once – each and every time! Can you imagine?!

In comparison, the costs to record a training video are one-off, there’s no distribution charge, and it’s on-demand whenever it’s needed! It’s a no-brainer. I mean, we could legitimately leave it there and it’d be enough, but as we’re so thorough, we thought we’d delve a little deeper…

WANT THE TRAINEES TO ACTUALLY TAKE IN THE INFO? VIDEO IS THE ONE!

Let’s be honest, we’ve all been in training sessions where you spend most of the time just zoning out. It can be hard to pay attention. So much of classic training is simply about data dumping and getting the facts out there without any effort to be creative or engaging. With videos, you can start from scratch and create something fun that will stay with the learners.

It’s been reported that people retain information much better and for way longer when videos are used. And isn’t that the whole point of training? For tips on how to make your videos more engaging, check out these tips on how to make engaging training videos.

WHAT ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY?

Imagine being able to access training any time, any place, on any device. That’s exactly what video training allows. And the accessibility benefits don’t stop there. We all learn at our own pace in our own ways, and we’ve all been in that situation where the teacher has just said something that’s gone completely over your head, but everyone else seems to have got it so you don’t want to speak up and ask? Standard practice.

But video training means you can pause it, rewind, go back and listen again. It gives you the opportunity to go to Google or send an email for clarification without missing any more of the training. What’s the point of putting on training if the learners aren’t understanding the content?

The benefits of video training extend far beyond money and convenience, it’s actually all-round better for the learners! Training videos can range from:

• Panels

• Classes

• Training or Process Courses

• Educational speakers

• Graphic Training

Making it perfect for any industry and brand.

CONSISTENCY IS KEY

The key to success, the key to relationships, and yes – the key to learning. While the interactive nature of in-person training has its advantages, how often can it be truly said that it’s a standardized, consistent approach? Questions are raised in some sessions that aren’t in others. Those questions will lead to tangents that potentially help better cement the understanding of the group. Or in some cases, one group might need to take the learning a little slower and therefore miss out on whole chunks of information another group would have had.

Put simply: it’s not fair and it’s not consistent. With video-based training, every person gets the same information, in the same way. It’s fool-proof!

EMBRACE THE FUTURE WITH VIDEO TRAINING

As you can see, the benefits of video training are far-reaching. Whether it be saving money, information retention, accessibility, or consistency, video training offers an all-round better solution for your training needs. And the fact that people prefer learning via video is just a bonus!
