What is Onsite Training?

Onsite training, also known as on-the-job training, refers to a method of educating employees within the physical premises of their workplace, rather than sending them to external training facilities or workshops.

One of our instructors will come to your company's location to deliver instruction and provide hands-on learning experiences tailored to the specific needs of the organization and its employees.

Benefit #1 - Customization 

Onsite training can be customized to address the specific skills and knowledge gaps your operators may experience. Training can be tailored to your site safety requirements, hazards, and pedestrian routes to provide a deeper level of comfort for your employees. Certain industries have strict regulatory requirements regarding training and safety procedures. Customizing onsite training ensures that your organization remains compliant with relevant regulations by addressing site-specific considerations and industry standards.

Training sessions(s) are completed with your specific machine(s). As makes and models can vary this will ensure your employees are learning about the exact machine they will be using. By customizing training to the site and machines in use, you ensure that the content is directly applicable to the learners' daily tasks. This relevance enhances engagement and retention as participants see immediate connections between what they're learning and what they do.

As training takes place within the actual work environment, this allows employees to immediately apply what they learn. When employees receive training that is specifically designed for their environment, they gain confidence in their abilities to operate machinery safely and effectively. This confidence can lead to improved job performance and job satisfaction.

Benefit #2 - Cost-Effectiveness

In many cases, onsite training can be more cost- effective than sending employees to external training courses, especially when multiple employees require training.

With onsite training, there's no need to cover travel expenses for employees to attend off-site training sessions. This saves on transportation, accommodation, and per diem costs.

Onsite training can also be scaled to accommodate different group sizes and organizational needs without incurring additional costs.

Overall, onsite training can be a cost-effective option for organizations by reducing travel expenses, minimizing downtime, customizing content, leveraging existing equipment and offering scalability.

Benefit #3 - Convenience 

Training dates and times are flexible to accommodate your company’s needs; start and end times can be adjusted to your operational schedule, and evenings or weekends can be arranged.

Training sessions are conducted directly at the workplace, making it convenient for employees to attend without the need to travel to an external location. This saves time and eliminates the hassle of commuting.

Employees learn in a familiar environment, which can enhance comfort and reduce anxiety associated with learning new skills. They have access to familiar tools, equipment, and resources, which can facilitate the learning process.

Training does not need to result in down-time, taking operators away from their duties. Operators are not required to stay for the entire training day and can resume their duties after their practical assessment.
