A training plan provides employees with new skills that a company seeks to add more value to their corporation. In other words, companies insist that their employees take training for their personal development since the way of working, organizing, and collaborating is changing with new technological advances in this new digital era.
Online training is becoming a flexible education that motivates employees to continue taking more of these classes since it offers growth and the ability to perform them anywhere in the world at the desired time. The online courses have evolved in different aspects that now an online training not only offers an advisory video to listen and take notes, now different aspects favor workers, such as personalized mentoring, advice with teachers, forums with other employees/students being in the course, live sessions to debate certain topics, and knowledge in new technological tools.
Online training has many advantages and some of them are:

Flexibility & Mobility: With online courses, the employee can complete their courses without the need to lose work, family reunions, or look for excuses for not being able to finish it due to lack of time, since they can be taken at any time. On the other hand, society lives in a digital world so advanced that even online courses are adapted to the different devices that the employee may have, such as a computer, laptops, cell phones, tablets, etc. This advantage helps workers to have a better learning experience.
Cost-effectiveness: Face-to-face training tends to be more expensive for all the materials and textbooks than online training that does not require the purchase of such demanding materials to achieve the desired certification. In addition, online education offers you the certificate in digital format, therefore the recognition can be shared on social networks, the job board, or on LinkedIn.
