Training companies embrace new technology as they adapt to online learning

Many training companies have been completely disrupted by the effects of coronavirus. Face-to-face events have been cancelled and training providers have had to rapidly adapt to virtual learning with remote learners and online trainers.

Some training companies have turned to resource scheduling software to help them manage online learning effectively. These online scheduling tools enable training companies to schedule all types of resources including trainers, learners, events and even support materials. Users can schedule any type of work or activity, such as planning and tracking online training events, development projects, learning targets, new customer acquisition and many other activities.

Service provider AquaTerra Training is one of those companies which has recently embraced the value of resource scheduling software and discovered a significant benefit for their business. “Fantastic software that makes planning ahead so easy. Holds all the information you need and so much cheaper than any other IT company we looked at for a booking system.”.

Mark Ballance, managing director of Yorkshire-based resource management software company Schedule it said: “Since the COVID-19 situation took effect we have seen an increase in users from training companies, as well as other sectors including telecoms, software, design and security. Technology is allowing these businesses to organise their workforce, work remotely and reorganise planned work into future dates or online service delivery, as clients require.”
