What is a training video?

In companies, training is conducted for the purpose of employee education. A training video is literally a video for training.

There are two types of training videos: manual-type videos that film actual work, seminar-type videos in which instructors give lectures like school classes, and documentary-type videos that capture the history of the company and the state of the company. When creating a training video, it is also important to choose the best one that suits your purpose.

Some of the benefits of using video in corporate training include:

Significant cost savings can be achieved

In many cases, training is conducted in a large space such as a conference room, by inviting a lecturer. However, this type of training incurs costs such as venue usage fees and instructor remuneration, which can be a heavy burden for companies that need to conduct training frequently.

If you use training videos, you can significantly reduce these costs. If there is no change in the content of the business, it will be possible to use it several times. The fact that you can reduce the financial burden is one of the major advantages.

It can also be used for training on the premise of telework.

In the Corona disaster, training based on the premise of telework has become uncommon. On the premise of telework, the bottleneck is that participants cannot gather at one venue, and it is necessary to adopt a format that matches that situation.

In this regard, video-based training allows you to participate in training anywhere with an internet connection. It can be said that training videos are a great match for telework.

Can be revisited repeatedly

In a typical form of training, you have to write down what the instructor will say in a notebook. After the training, each student will review on their own, but there will be things that you cannot remember or that you forgot to write down. Another big advantage of training using videos is that you can watch the videos over and over again, so you can improve your proficiency.

demerit

While there are many benefits to video-based training, it is not without its disadvantages. When actually conducting training in the form of videos, it is good to keep in mind the following disadvantages.

It may be necessary to revise or recreate the content.

If there is a change in the content of the work, it may be necessary to revise or recreate the training video. Therefore, in companies where changes to manuals are inevitably required in business, training videos may not be efficient.

It takes a lot of time and effort to produce

In order to produce a training video, it takes a certain amount of time and effort to consider the content and shoot. Therefore, in some cases, such as when it is necessary to complete training preparation within a limited period of time, it may be better not to use video.

If you produce training videos in-house, it will put pressure on your normal work, so outsourcing will be one of the options.
