Onsite vs offsite trainings

• This question is a bit like asking which of these
  two is more effective Working from home or
  working from office. It is difficult to answer
  this question, right? It depends on how one looks
  at it. Similarly, both onsite and offsite
  trainings have their own unique advantages. It
  all depends on which the particular organization
  finds more convenient or comfortable for a
  particular training.

Each is good, in its own way

• Many organizations opt for onsite trainings for
  the reason that they bring with them many
  advantages. These are some of them
• Onsite trainings are highly economical
• This is quite natural, considering that the
  organization needs to bear the traveling and
  other expenses of only the trainer and not the
  entire group of employees that are getting
  trained.

The client decides what needs to be imparted

• This is a highly commendable feature of onsite
  trainings and is available with no other mode of
  training. If the participant decides the
  curriculum, what could be more focused, relevant
  and effective?

Varied choices
Onsite trainings offer many choices to the
participants who undertake the trainings. Wide
choices are given in terms of not only the
curriculum, as mentioned above, but also in
relation to the choice of experts, the choice of
the venue, and the choice of schedule.

Advantages of offsite trainings

• Now, does this mean that offsite, or what may be
  called in person trainings, are useless?
  Absolutely not, because if there were to be no
  utility in this mode of trainings, this would
  have ceased to exist long ago! Onsite trainings
  do offer many benefits compared to offsite
  trainings, but let us examine some of the
  advantages of offsite trainings

Break away from the routine of office

• Much is said about the familiar environment in
  which onsite trainings are held. Of course, many
  organizations see this as an advantage, but this
  feature also works the other way. Many
  organizations find that participants dont take
  trainings in the same premises seriously enough
  and think of these sessions more as a pleasant
  digression from the daily grind of work. They
  tend to take it too lightly, more as a day out
  rather than as a training session that will make
  a difference to their careers.

7
Lack of focus

• Additionally, there is always the possibility
  that employees could be tempted to make a phone
  call and dash off for a quick coffee, since they
  are more likely to see the training session as a
  kind of change from their routine. Not everyone
  may do it, but what if a senior employee excuses
  himself to hand down a quick instruction to his
  subordinate who is after all, with arms length?
  Neither the expert nor the organizations HR can
  object to this. This is something like a home
  worker who would want to take a quick break at a
  crucial time because he has to switch the cooker
  off or has to remember to pay a bill. This will
  almost certainly not happen at offsite trainings.

Familiarity with the working conditions

• This is one of the defining features of onsite
  trainings, but again, this could be a double
  edged sword. In many instances, people feel fresh
  and creative only when they attend a training
  session that offers them a new and lively
  environment. Many a time, a few organizations
  could also feel that it is more productive to get
  the employees to a new environment and let them
  come out with new ideas rather than dump them all
  at one place.
• To summarize, both onsite and offsite trainings
  come with their own set of advantages and
  benefits. Depending on the need and the liking of
  the organization, it could choose the one that
  suits it better.
