Benefits of eLearning
eLearning has transformed the way we are taught and trained and one of the best means for acquiring skills and certifications in the industry
Companies that invest in employee training show a dramatic increase in their stock and bottom line. Don’t let your competitors get the upper hand.
With over two decades of experience in the security, fire, and life safety industry, The CMOOR Group is trusted by some of the biggest players in the industry, having worked with both large and small integration companies, as well as manufacturers and associations.
We must be doing something right!
Many companies in the marketplace take content and put it online making it into a “learning” interface. True eLearning development utilizes a solid instructional methodology that takes content and makes it eLearning-ready.
The CMOOR Group sets out to make learning relevant and easily applied in day-to-day, real-world situations. By focusing on how students learn, we tailor all content into that framework. Even the most compelling content will be lost on students who aren’t engaged or challenged to absorb it. The CMOOR Group’s top rated, easy-to-use learning tools are ideal for the security, fire, and life safety industries.

- Geographical barriers are eliminated therefore opening up broader education options
- eLearning provides 24/7 accessibility making scheduling easy and allows a greater number of people to attend classes
- On-demand access means learning can happen precisely when needed

Strategic, as well as logistical, benefits exist. Companies bank on eLearning to speed up the process of launching new products. This is critically important to global corporations, particularly manufacturing companies that need to coordinate the launch of new products at distant points around the world.
Some companies contend that the interactivity and sophisticated graphics of well-designed e-learning systems can help employees learn faster, retain more knowledge, and make them productive more quickly than weeks of classroom training. These techniques also give employees the opportunity to take more control over their training, enabling them to search and register for courses that are tailored to their particular career paths.
Significant Advantages
There are many significant advantages for the student who learns online. Here are just a few to consider:
Convenience and Portability

- Choose instructor-led or self-study courses
- Skip over material you already know and focus on topics you’d like to learn
- Use the tools best suited to your learning styles
Higher Retention
- Online learning will draw you to topics you like and enjoy. Studies show that because of this and the variety of delivery methods used to reach different types of learners, retention is frequently better than in a traditional classroom (30-60%!).
