In recent years, education has gone through a transformation due to global circumstances. We have seen a decline in live events and in-person continuing education classes as more providers turn to remote learning and webinars. Transitioning to remote learning can seem complicated, especially if you’re used to attending in-person events, but there are multiple benefits to attending webinars for your continuing education.  

Flexibility and Convenience  

Traditionally, getting CEs would involve attending conferences, workshops, or an in-person class. This meant you would have to travel to the location to attend the class, usually for the whole day. With remote learning, flexibility comes into play. Instead of having to wake up, get ready, and commute to another location, you can watch the class from the comforts of your home, or anywhere else you please! Whether you have a full-time job to plan around or family commitments to manage, remote learning offers you a way to access classes at your convenience.  

More Options  

Remote learning allows you to find classes from anywhere, which means you get a diverse range of educators and topics. You aren’t limited to classes in your geographic area, and you can get insights and experiences from professionals all over the country and even the world. AHEC’s faculty includes experts from over 10 different states covering topics from forensic radiology to human trafficking.  

Cost Efficiency  

Attending classes in person can require you to make travel plans, book accommodations, pay for gas, and more. With webinars and remote learning, you eliminate those expenses, making it a more cost-effective option. Since you most likely have a phone or a laptop, you won’t need any new equipment to attend a remote class.  For convenience, AHEC webinars can be viewed through any device, and you are able to call in as well.
