Time savings for employees, lower costs for companies, Internet-based training is enjoying increasing success.
After office automation and foreign languages, many training courses such as stress management or business development can be done via an Internet connection. This practical and less expensive solution is becoming increasingly successful in companies. Result: the turnover of e-learning jumped 25% between 2009 and 2010 to 144 million euros in France, according to the sector's specialist research firm, Féfaur.
"To reduce their expenses, companies cut back on their training budget at the beginning of the crisis. Price has become a decisive element," explains Michel Diaz, director of Féfaur, during a presentation of the results organized by CrossKnowledge, one of the sector leaders. An hour of content is sold between 26.387 euros and more than 80,000 euros for "serious games" (educational video games) to companies, which can train an unlimited number of employees. In the end, this solution proves to be more economical than traditional training.
Currently, large groups with more than 5,000 employees represent two-thirds of the clientele. According to Michel Diaz, "the growth potential lies with SMEs".
