Advantages of One-on-One Computer Training

The fine art of training employees has become a life-saver for many companies. No longer does training employees need to mean a stuffy room on weekends with leftover donuts and stale coffee. Workers now desire to improve their skills and the convenience of being able to do this has changed the field. There are countless companies that specialize in training employees (and employers), making the market wide open for various learning styles.

One of the learning styles popularized in the past was one-on-one training. The advent of the internet certainly changed how individuals chose to digest information, however, and one-on-one training quickly vanished from sight to be replaced by websites, internet forums, and chat groups. But is there still a place for one-on-one personalized learning? Many experts argue that one of the oldest ways of learning is still one of the best.

Myths – The Cost.

One of the strongest myths about one-on-one learning is the cost factor. Many employers assume that paying for extensive individualized learning and training is something simply not worth the capital investment. Accounting departments fret and stew over the potential for training individuals. The cost per hour does come with a higher price tag, but the overall expense of one-on-one computer training is actually comparable to e-learning or traditional classroom learning. This is because many one-on-one sessions take place within a shorter time frame and covers more material.

Myths – Less Focused Learning.

This relates to the learning style of many people, as one-on-one computer learning can be considered less focused than instructor led learning in classroom settings. Actually the opposite is true. Studies have shown that one-on-one learning is more focused on an individualized sense of learning, allowing the student the ability to choose his or her own educational path. This makes for more focused learning because any questions are answered as they are asked and any problems can be sorted out quickly.

Myths – Time.

Many people assume that one-on-one learning simply takes up more time than classroom learning. This is a misnomer, as the focused learning of this style of training makes is quicker and more concise. Because of the possibility to answer questions as they are asked and to focus on individual needs, the learning process takes up less time and leaves more room for other workers to be trained. In the end, the economy of time and money saved makes one-on-one learning an attractive choice.
