When choosing which facilities to use for training, there are many factors to consider. Onsite facilities have several benefits, by holding training internally - there are no travel costs, overheads for the facility or potential catering expenses. It also minimises time spent out of office, in sales teams this time could cost the company in potential lost revenue.
However, there are drawbacks to onsite training. Many companies do not have adequate facilities to create an effective learning environment. Cost savings on facilities may be outweighed by the training being less effective and providing a less efficient return. A room not designed for training may not have a flexible layout that allows for different styles of tuition or have the space for all learners. Interruptions are also a major drawback - several minor disturbances will prevent training being successful.

Holding training off site also demonstrates to employees that you have invested in their training and value it, contributing to the productivity of the session and boosting morale.
