Learning is less intimidating.
Participants can ask client service questions without worrying about what other students will think. They can also complete their private exercises without fear of failure.
More interactivity

Benefits administratively
Learning “just in time” rather than “just in case.”
Online courses are always offered so that people who want to know more about a subject do not need to wait for a trainer to be available to teach the course in question.
Customizable Content

Content uniformity

Access “anywhere, anytime.”
Online courses can be taken at times convenient to the body anywhere there is a computer with access to the Web. Les employees do not need to be absent from work for long periods.
Tracking progress is easy.
An organization can automatically track the progress of employees through learning programs online. Learning management systems usually take note of the dates on which courses were taken, the time spent, and the results obtained for each examination.
Significant cost savings
In addition to reducing the duration of training, e-learning programs eliminate the need to travel and the associated expenses for both the students and the instructors.
