The speed of which the internet is
imposing itself on activities in this planet is nothing
if not amazing. More and more activities are now done
online. For example; banking, shopping, government
transactions , education etc. It is of no surprise then
that professional associations and institutions have
started outsourcing their training activities to 3rd
parties who specializes in such services.
What are the advantages of
outsourcing? Well, for one, the exercise can be quite
rewarding for the association/institute as such
activities will general income without the necessity of
investing in manpower and facilities. For example, the
The Institute of Financial Consultants outsource its
training to two entities called Widelearning™.com
and PASSOnline. refer to
http://www.ifconsultants.org/page5.htm.
Having qualifying training and
continuous professional education schemes within the
association/institution enhances the credibility of the
institute and its members. This will demonstrate to the
general public that the association/institute is strict
in its admission standard whereby only persons who pass
their training courses will be accepted. Such training
can be both classroom based or distance learning/online
based.
