How much does it cost to offer eLearning into your workforce? Is it cheaper to train individuals or teams? Why is there such a huge difference in license costs……?

These are questions we are often asked so we have put together a quick post on the cost of health and safety training delivered via e-learning.

Due to the recent explosion of eLearning onto the work scene over the past 12 months the benefits to many companies when comparing to instructor-led training has become very clear.

E-Learning is now considered to be an excellent way of deploying and tracking training into the workforce, with huge benefits and so much more to offer.

If you’re looking to make a business case for eLearning contact us for our our white paper for more details.

In the meantime here are some of the main benefits of using eLearning for your employee and company training compliance (with the main factor being cost savings!)

  1. Reduces learning time, which adds to valuable work output

  2. Can fit in with employee’s flexible lifestyles – home or work access

  3. Totally scalable for any number of employees

  4. Provides your employees, and managers, with timely feedback

  5. Ensures training consistency and standardisation on key training topics

  6. Reduces your company’s environmental impact

E-Learning is simply more cost-effective for those companies with the larger employee numbers. 

Not only are you reducing fees for trainers and employee time, there are also the additional costs related to training rooms, travel, and course materials.

However, with eLearning, employees will just need access to a suitable device (PC Laptop or Smart Phone) and the web, along with allocating some time to complete their training.

Most generic type courses sit at around 45 to 60 minutes ‘seat time’ so this is easy for your staff to fit into the diaries.

(Seat time is the term used to denote how long it takes to complete the tutorial)

Online training allows employees to learn at their own pace and at a time that's convenient for them. In other words, they are good for self-directed training and refresher training when required.


So what are the real cost for online training credits or licenses?

Most companies we have found online charge out on average a single user rate, from £19.90 to over £200 per user license based on the type of course.

The higher fees are generally associated with more in-depth courses that require several hours of seat time.

For company licenses which generally come under volume pricing, there should be a sliding scale in place offering a discounted rate.

As an example, taking the average £20 fee for a single user could fall to between £6 to £10 for a higher volume of staff members.

Here at AT&F Solutions Ltd our ethos has always been simple, which is to provide cost effective training for everyone.
