About EBG Consulting’s eLearning

eLearning gives you significant time and cost benefits. EBG Consulting has undertaken several projects to build high-quality eLearning experiences. Each eLearning course we design is tailored to fit its delivery environment and to maximize your learning.   

What are the benefits of eLearning?


Heightens the learning experience:

You save on travel costs and time.

Your team members can get critical training no matter where they are located.

You learn in small, highly focused “chunks,” and that helps you better retain your new knowledge.

Is convenient and cost effective:

You spend less time away from your work and more time focused on your individual knowledge and skill gaps, learning at your own pace.

Instructor-led eLearning lets you interact with the instructor even though you are not physically co-located. You use collaboration tools such as chat and whiteboarding.

You get real-time feedback from the instructor, allowing you to practice skills at your own pace.

The short learning sessions in our instructor-led eLearning fit into your daily work schedule.

What is blended eLearning?

EBG Consulting’s blended eLearning offers you learning delivery combinations to meet your needs. For example, our Roadmap to Success: Comprehensive course is a blended eLearning solution that combines self-paced with instructor-led eLearning.

Self-paced learning is taken whenever learners want for as long as they want. Requires only an Internet connection.
Blended eLearning combines two or more learning modes. For example: self-paced + instructor-led classroom; or self-paced + instructor-led eLearning + instructor-led classroom.
instructor-led eLearning, sometimes called virtual eLearning, is a live, synchronous event in which students and instructor meet at the same time in different locations using an Internet connection and telephone.

You can also combine two or more courses to customize a blended solution. Here are two examples of using EBG Consulting’s blended eLearning:
