What is Blended Training?
Blended training integrates two key components: e-learning for the theoretical aspects and on-site practical sessions for hands-on application. The theory-based learning is delivered through engaging e-learning modules, which participants complete at their own pace before attending the practical sessions. This approach offers the best of both worlds—allowing your team to learn when and where it’s most convenient, while still gaining critical practical experience in a real-world environment.
