Online Training (E learning) or distance education is not a new phenomenon, it has been around and offered to students for many years, indeed it dates back to the last century and beyond, many different degrees and diplomas can now be achieved by working from your own home; and, by following a self paced study course, many stay at home mums have achieved the higher learning outcomes that they may have missed due to the responsibility of motherhood and family.
Economically this type or training makes great sense, providing the student has the equipment and resources to complete the study in the appropriate way. Complex lines of study and material can be successfully completed, but this type of training cannot only be delivered in home, it also can be used for the class room environment.
