One question that we frequently encounter is: Which is better? Classroom training or Live Virtual Online Training? Well, this debate has been ongoing forever. We, at EduPristine, believe that no one format is the answer but a perfect blend of both can be the best solution for maximizing the learning outcomes. No one size fits all. Likewise, no two learners are the same. Some learners may prefer studying independently, while some may prefer studying in groups. Some learners may prefer studying in a classroom set-up, while others may prefer studying in the comfort of their own home.

  EduPristine understands these needs and takes pride in offering multiple modes of learning and encourages learners to decide based on their learning needs, preferences, and comforts at no additional cost. This means- learners can swiftly transition between both modes according to their convenience without having to pay extra. Missed a class? No worries. Learners also get access to recordings that can be replayed multiple times within their course validity. It is essential to note that- Irrespective of what mode you select, the end goal for all the learners would be similar: 1) To complete the PGP-BAT course PGP-BAT course successfully. 2) To secure placement in a good multinational company. Certain factors would remain the same in both modes. Factors like teaching methodology, level of engagement during lectures, discipline, syllabus to be covered, and faculty members having a rich corporate background with a passion for teaching.

So, how does classroom training differ from live virtual online training?

1) Personalized attention:

• The foremost advantage of studying in a classroom setting is being able to receive personalized attention from instructors. Having smaller batch sizes is like the cherry on the cake when combined with personalized attention.
• Personalized attention is of utmost importance while studying practical modules like SAP, setting up the Busy Software, Direct Tax & its application on a Licensed Version of TallyPrime, among others.
• In live virtual online training, personalized attention may not always be attainable because of factors such as poor internet speed, technical glitches, shortage of power supply, etc.
• Some learners may also shy away from switching on their cameras, making it even more difficult for the faculty to measure their understanding.

2) Direct Communication with instructors and peers:

• • In a classroom set-up, learners can personally communicate with their instructors and peers alike. This not only makes it easier to understand complex topics but also makes learning fun.
  • Learners can receive feedback and resolution to their queries almost instantly by communicating directly with their instructors.
  • Being a part of a classroom with diverse students not only provides cultural exposure but also enhances social skills.
  • Getting exposure to campus life can be an enriching experience and may not be possible in a virtual learning setup.
  • Direct communication with peers not only forms a professional network but can also, lead to lifelong friendships.
  • Communication with peers is very limited when it comes to studying online. Learners may feel awkward or struggle to connect virtually.
  • Additionally, retention of information is another challenge often seen in online learning as learners are engaged in passive learning. Lack of participation adds another layer of difficulty to this situation.

3) Enhanced motivation and focus:

• • • Often, the classroom environment is designed for learning which can drastically enhance concentration and participation in comparison to a home setting.
    • Getting a similar experience at home may not always be feasible and cause learners to get distracted easily due to external factors beyond their control. Kids playing, vehicles honking, phone ringing, and other similar disturbances can lead to distractions. This may force some learners to discontinue their studies or focus just partially.
    • Choosing to study offline can increase motivation and accountability, as participation and attendance are tracked more frequently and rigorously.
    • Don’t we all agree on the fact that enhanced focus and motivation can lead to better results and pass rates?

4) Additional support and assistance:

• • • • There are high chances of students requiring additional support and assistance from staff members, instructors, peers, or customer support team members.
      • This requirement can be easily met by waiting for an additional 20 minutes before or after a particular class.
      • This direct interaction makes learning more effective and less scary compared to a large remote online learning setup.
      • Asking for additional assistance is possible in a virtual setup as well, but very difficult as most learners may not know how to get help and whom to ask for help.

5) Teamwork and Collaboration:

• • • • A physical classroom setup provides learners with numerous opportunities to learn from each other leading to enhanced teamwork and collaboration.
      • The ability to work collaboratively as a part of a team is one of the most vital skills that learners can develop.
      • This also calls for adhering to stringent academic standards which include being respectful towards instructors, being disciplined, maintaining order in the classroom, being polite to all, and offering help to peers when needed.
      • Regular participation in class and frequent face-to-face discussions and debates help in facilitating clear and effective communication skills.
      • Moreover, grabbing opportunities to lead group projects and participate in classroom activities can also enhance leadership abilities and decision-making skills.
      • Collaboration and teamwork can be challenging in a virtual setup due to the lack of physical presence, making teamwork and group projects less effective.

If you ask us personally, we encourage you to decide based on what works best for you. We will recommend opting for classroom training over any other mode due to its added benefits. Plus, you don’t have to pay anything extra for classroom training. While others may offer cheaper online training, remember to save some money, you do not end up losing 1 year of your life and a very high opportunity cost. Choose wisely for your future success.
