Return on Investment
Example Case Study
Initial investment can be recouped in a very short space of time. Here is an example of how it might work comparing traditional ‘classroom’ style training with online learning.
Assumptions used in example
Each year 50 employees require Health and Safety training which has historically been delivered as 5 training days in the classroom. With traditional methods this has meant each employee taking a whole day away from work to attend a course running from 9.30-12.30 and 13.30-16.30 (Six hours in total). Each employee earns £25,000 per annum and costs the company around £150 per day.
*The cost of designing and building the course content has NOT been included in this comparison because there are so many variables for both traditional and online versions. It can be assumed that design costs will be similar for each approach. That the online course cost build might be higher but once built can be delivered thousands of times without attracting any additional costs
Off site training costs per course delivery
The conference room is 30 miles away. An external trainer is commissioned to deliver the training.

Training costs using YourLMS Solution
Online learning is about 50% more time efficient than classroom learning because time is not being lost due to breaks, introductions, and diversions to accommodate others in the group. Also the learner can go at their own speed and will tend to do the learning in several short but intensive sessions - ideally around 40 minutes, (= to 1 hour in class) when they are fully alert.
Costs below assume each person does 6 online training sessions of 40 minutes duration to cover all the course material.
