##### Classroom Training – versus – CATonline eLearning

This simple exercise directly compares the costs of two different companies; Company A chooses CATonline, while the other chooses traditional classroom training.

#### COMPANY ‘A’ with 200 Staff:

Chooses CATonline Training

200 Registrations for CAT Online eLearning

@ $49 each

Staff log-in when it suits them, usually during their designated downtime.

**Total Cost to Employer: $9,800**

#### COMPANY ‘B’ with 200 Staff:

Engages Face-to-face Training

Classroom Trainer onsite for 10 days = $30,000

Yet, only 20 people per classroom, so 10 days is required to train all 200 staff

200 Staff @ 8 hours = at least $56,000 downtime

**Total Cost to Employer: $86,000**

And that does not even include venue costs and logistics.

##### SUMMARY

**It costs at least $70,000 more (for every 200 staff) to complete training in the classroom!**

## Why is CATonline so affordable? Let’s compare.

#### Traditional Classroom Training

**With face-to-Face learning, all staff must be on location at a set time.**

- The logistics of classroom training are expensive; more downtime, less productivity.
- From day-to-day, classroom training can vary greatly in consistency and subject matter.
- Staff are not always available to attend pre-scheduled classroom times.
- Information retention in long classroom sessions is proven to be limited.
- Employers with multiple work sites have difficulty getting uniform training.
- Without a basic understanding of Indigenous culture in the first place, many staff struggle in a classroom setting.

##### Change is in your hands.

Before this exciting technological innovation, cultural awareness training was delivered in a traditional classroom setting, with all staff present in the one room. This type of delivery is a very expensive investment for any business. Ensuring all staff are available to attend set times and locations creates mass downtime and a subsequent loss in productivity.

Yes, the total costs for conventional training really add up. Even more, you can never be 100% certain that all employees are receiving a solid educational outcome to justify the expense. One day’s class training is often different to the next.

Thankfully, those days are long gone. Now, CATonline ensures a measured learning outcome for all participants, while delivering significant cost savings and productivity gains at the same time.
