Virtual learning environment (VLE) training

Virtual learning environment (VLE) training allows employees to access training materials on-line or through specific industry-based software packages.

VLE environments allow learners to:

  • access training materials
  • submit assignments and assessments
  • chat with other learners or experts

VLE can be accessed from anywhere. This means employees can undertake training at a time or place of their choice.

It can be costly for an organisation to set up a VLE. But it can save the company time and money on travel or employing specialist trainers.
