How can e-learning be effectively integrated into a professional working environment to improve employee performance and productivity?

Online education has been scientifically proven to be more effective than classroom training. Therefore, we’re convinced that e-learning should be a main component of continuing education for professionals in a wide range of industries offered by experts that provide high-quality courses while being very cost effective.

With knowledge available 24/7, we can make sure that our members can educate themselves around the clock – wherever they find themselves."

What are the benefits of implementing e-learning in a professional setting compared to traditional in-person training?

We can implement cost-effective and high-quality education which is available 24/7. While traditional education might also be of a high standard, our concept offers something that people don’t have infinite amounts of - time and flexibility – which traditional education takes up more of.

"Being able to pause and re-watch the course material enables our users to retain indispensable knowledge."

In addition to this, they can search for specific terms so that they never miss important information pertaining to the courses.

All these elements put together makes it easier for companies and employees keep track of their progress."

How can employers ensure that their employees can engage and retain information from e-learning courses??

"By offering an extensive number of courses and a regularly updated course catalogue, employees are more inclined to continue to educate themselves. Setting objectives and managing the progress is also a way for employers to ensure that employees are retaining the relevant information.?At Reducate we will continue to develop and optimize our concept to maintain our status as leaders in the e-learning industry. We see a bright future for e-learning in all industries, and we will continue to explore all avenues indefinitely."
