What is blended training?

Blended training is a combination of different types of training including self-study, eLearning and instructor-led or classroom-based training.

There are many advantages to a blended training solution and, recently, it has become more popular due to the benefits.

With a blended training solution it is common for a site to offer a web-based course as a pre-requisite to an instructor-led course. This allows the students to have an introduction on a topic, and therefore, gain more in-depth knowledge and cover more material in the instructor-led course.

Another approach is to have students attend a classroom-based course and then have follow-up training as a web-based course.

This allows the students to leave the instructor-led training, practice what they've learned and then take a follow-up refresher course or advanced course to continue the learning path and answer questions that arise after they leave the classroom.
