In the construction industry, on–going training and upskilling is imperative.

The construction industry is complex and ever-changing. Nothing represents the ever-changing nature of the industry, more so than the legislative environment with updates and changes in rules and regulations occurring on a regular basis.

With the industry undergoing constant change, the importance of up-to-date training and upskilling workers to deal with the growing complexity of the construction environment cannot be understated.

With recent innovations in eLearning, online learning has grown exponentially over recent years, with more and more organisations adopting eLearning as a teaching method. As a result, the landscape of construction training has shifted.

One of the main benefits associated with eLearning is the flexibility it provides. Training can be completed from home, work, or just about anywhere with internet access. With construction companies often operating in multiple locations at any given time, a training method such a eLearning that allows you to deliver training to various locations at once is ideal and a perfect fit for the industry.

eLearning also provides an opportunity for construction companies to cut down on costs. As eLearning can be delivered remotely, it negates the need for employees to travel off-site for training, resulting in money saved that otherwise would have been spent on travel and accommodation.

Additionally, eLearning accommodates for your employee’s needs. People learn at different paces and a classroom environment can often be fast paced. eLearning allows employees to learn at their own pace and feel more comfortable.

The OM Group provides accredited eLearning courses across a variety of disciplines within the construction industry which cover a wide range of topics, from general health and safety courses to more hands-on practical training, like manual handling.
