Online training is easier than on-site training because it is convenient and self-paced.

Many workers are so busy or live in areas where classroom sessions are not practical. Online offers much greater convenience. The self-paced nature of online allows each student to spend more time on the topics they are not familiar with and move more quickly through those that they are. In a classroom, everyone marches through the same topics for the same amount of time.

Furthermore, the online course is equivalent to an on-site classroom course.
