6 Criteria to select the right eLearning Vendor

Significant Experience

Choose an eLearning partner who has ample experience in the learning domain. In addition to experience leading to excellence, typically, companies providing eLearning solutions for decades would have seen major technological advancements in the industry and would have adapted them into their solutions.

Your eLearning vendor should ideally have experience in corporate eLearning development and should have the know-how of creating training programs that would involve the learners in a fast paced, career related manner. This can hugely turn around your employees’ performance and hence steer the organization towards growth.

Focus on Learning

Companies that have a focus on learning and those that can fit adult learning principles into the instructional design and delivery of training are the ones that can provide the desired results in corporate training. These eLearning vendors have the experience in designing training programs for adult learning, which is mostly self-directed, utilizes knowledge and life experiences, is goal-oriented and heavily based on relevancy and practicality. There are a large number of training facilitators in the market, but what is most important is creating the right learning environment that is collaborative and utilises a relevant and practical approach.

Skilled Resources & Project Management

Implementation of an eLearning project goes beyond isolated abilities. The company you choose as your eLearning vendor should have experienced resources with the following skill-sets:

All the above skill-sets combined with the right Project Management methodology is what will ensure on-time, on-budget and goal focused delivery.

Impressive Clientele

Select a vendor who has worked with a number of clients across industries and geographies. Working with a number of customers automatically raises their credibility to expert status. Check for client references and testimonials.

Processes and Standardizations

Go for a company that is quality certified and follows stringent processes. The quality of the training solution is only as good as the process used to develop it. CMMI certified companies follow tried and tested practices and adhere to processes throughout the life-cycle of the project, resulting in successful implementations.

Cost-Value Proposition

Choosing the lowest quoted eLearning provider without much thought can lead to serious deviation from desired results for your business. Choose an eLearning vendor who meets all of the above mentioned criteria and is able to provide quality services at a competitive price.
