As a revenue management training and consulting company, we offer a variety of options when it comes to choosing training. While still fairly new, the development of computer-based training modules which are entertaining, educational, relevant and interactive has progressed dramatically over the past several years. Content has become more refined, and the interface more familiar and user friendly.
In comparing web-based learning to the traditional classroom model, a debate can be made favoring either learning model.
At first glance, it would appear that the Web-Based Learning Model, on a student by student basis, simply costs less. If we consider twelve students in need of revenue management certification training, we can expect to pay a minimum of $1,500.00 per student in tuition, to that, add travel, five days of lodging and meals - we can clearly see how the costs can quickly add up. And in-company training, presented by an outside company – can easily cost $25,000.00.
Web-based training often sells for as little as $250 per student, involves no travel, little or no “down time” on the part of the trainee, while their learning progress can often be effortlessly monitored by supervisors, administrators and even the students themselves.
Both options can result in a comprehension certificate. Both methods demonstrate to students the basic concepts and theories. Both methods ought to provide validated student evaluation and both
methods should produce qualified and quantified results.

As a new revenue manager, I did an online training through ecornell. It was an intense 10 week course but I feel that it was well organized, fair priced and provided me with the boost I needed to transition into the role.
