You don’t have to spend a lot of time with trainers before you wind up in a conversation about the best type of training. Some say nothing can match instructor-led training. Others are big fans of online and e-learning solutions. This is true in all walks of training, and it seems to me it’s an especially common discussion in safety training.
But the truth is that there is no single type of training that’s always better than the others. In fact, research shows that training of different types can be equally effective. Given that, the best idea is to use a blended learning solution, picking and choosing the best type of training to suit each particular training need.
