Choosing the Right Type of Learning for Your Next Training
When it comes to providing learning and development opportunities for your employees, there are a few different ways to deliver the learning. Considering the needs of both the company and the learner, different types of training may be beneficial for your upcoming needs. Let’s take a look at three of the most common types of training.
Instructor-led training
Instructor-led learning consists of training that is typically more hands-on and delivered by one instructor or a team of instructors who provide the agreed-upon custom learning material. There are three types of instructor-led training;
In-person instructor-led training:
Highly interactive, instructor-led class, based on clear learning objectives with individuals attending in-person training.
Virtual instructor-led training:
Learning material is delivered by an instructor to individuals attending via web-enabled technology synchronous from multiple locations.
Train the trainer:
The Teach-Back method and a certification process to ensure the trainers are proficient and ready to deliver the content.
LPW offers in-person or online instructor-led training to all employees and departments, whether we are training a sales team out on the field or a management team in the office. From application implementation and best practices to professional development and change management, there’s no shortage of assistance we can offer.

Digital Learning
Digital learning, or e-learning, provides the opportunity to deliver learning creatively and engagingly before or after, or in place of instructor-led training. Material is primarily self-paced and often leads to higher levels of learner’s engagement. It is a great resource to provide initial context, assess readiness, learn key concepts, understand new features/processes, and provide ongoing reinforcement that helps increase adoption and advance the understanding of an application or process. Employees can check their knowledge through certifications, validations, and knowledge checks.
Further, utilizing quick and efficient videos helps highlight specific features of an application where your team may need additional learning. Their brief format makes them easy to return to again and again!
LPW’s Digital Learning includes::
Blended Learning
In simplest terms, blended learning combines both digital methods of instruction and traditional instructor-led methods. Also, sometimes referred to as “hybrid” learning, it combines everything you’ve undoubtedly experienced as a learner (i.e., whole-class instruction, small group work, and lecture) with modern digital or online teaching. While a traditional classroom-based experience typically mandates that learning occurs in person, a digital experience can be self-paced and independent. Depending on the material and your company's priorities, there are different ways blended learning can be shaped.?
No matter which type of learning is chosen, it is essential to consider the learner for training to be successful. It is no secret that each person learns and absorbs material slightly differently than the next. These different forms of training offer a wide array of options to benefit both the needs of the company and the learners, leading to higher individual retention and increased company-wide productivity.
