Classic classroom training – still far from out of fashion

As part of the digital transformation and dynamic advances in technology, companies and institutions must reckon much more seriously than before with the question: Are our teams still up-to-date? Do they have the skills required for handling the coming challenges? Do we have all the skills internally that we need to achieve our goals? Technical topics and related applications, services, and devices are evolving rapidly during this time, so companies should start competence building with dynamic sources such as seminars, training, and courses and with instructors who follow this dynamic development also in the real world. The learner should always be in focus, so as a company it makes sense to deal with different learning formats. According to the scientist Hermann Ebbinghaus, the retention and recall by skilled workers depends on the type of material to be learned. Classic classroom training or face-to-face seminars play an important role in the range of analogue and digital learning formats. The advantages: immediate communication, promotion of personal learning, and practice in a quiet, safe place where the learner can concentrate fully on the learning process and content. Learning is intensified through group interaction, where participants learn from each other and from the trainer.
