Classroom sessions, open book tests and videos are only some of the traditional methods used by instructors to deliver courses.

Learning outside the traditional classroom is becoming the new face of learning as trainees turn to the internet to build skills, though with mixed results. Online training providers now offer accredited, paid courses linked to people's jobs alongside free online courses. Instructors still combine varied methods, such as classroom sessions, open-book tests and videos, to suit different learners.

Classroom sessions, open book tests and videos are only some of the traditional methods used by instructors to deliver courses. However, with the age of digital technology upon us, many trainees are turning to the Internet to build skillsets, with mixed results. There isn’t an exact way to train. Instructors usually work hard to provide a variety of learning methods to their classroom, whether it’s training a new joiner, a senior employee or a top level manager. There is a large variety of online training providers that offer excellent learning from a distance.

Today, trainees can take a variety of courses online through training providers with globally accredited and standard training providers. Some of the sessions are extensions of their jobs at office, requiring trainees to register and pay a fee. Others are a bit more progressive and are offered as free online training courses. This is a far cry from traditional trainings and will be the new face of learning.

## Quick answers

### What kinds of online training courses are available?

Some online courses are offered by accredited training providers as extensions of trainees' jobs and require registration and a fee. Others are offered free. Both sit alongside traditional methods such as classroom sessions, open-book tests and videos, since there is no single right way to train.
