Course Reviews are Important When Choosing Training
At Findcourses.co.uk we've been noticing a growing trend over the last few months - Course Reviews are becoming more and more influential to those looking for training - and are helping new users choose 'the right' course.
In a recent survey of our on site users, 78% of people said that course reviews were 'Very important' factors in their decision-making process when considering training courses - in that those courses that had reviews received more views, interest and more feedback than those that don't have reviews.
A further 20% of users stated that they sometimes considered reviews before they decided which training course was most suitable for them, and only 5% claimed that reviews were not important to them.
Review & compare sites are becoming more important to online consumers, who claim that reviews give them a real sense of try before you buy, and a valuable insight into a product before they part with their money.
This also true in the Professional Training & Courses world. As users are looking for information to help them choose the most suitable course for their requirements - course reviews are playing a larger role than they were in the past.
Training courses that have the most reviews are distance learning & e-learning courses, which may be a result of users needing security from other users before they invest in this relatively new form of training.
Similarly, HR Managers often like to read reviews or case studies about Company Specific / In House training courses to see how other like-minded companies benefited from a training provider, to give them an insight into how the training could work for them.
Additionally we have seen a surge of users come to Findcourses.co.uk to review the courses they have been on - whether they want to share their great learning experiences with others or voice their disappointment in an area of training.
