Both types of project manager courses involve an online element but e-learning involves self-study at a time and pace that suits the learner. Whereas virtual courses are usually timetabled instructor-led events which may be pre-recorded but can also be live online courses. Virtual courses also have the benefits of digital learning technology such as online chat functions and interactive whiteboards.
Both e-learning and virtual courses cost less than face-to-face classroom courses and will also save money on travel and hotel costs. However, there are also options for face-to-face classroom courses at your company premises, which avoid the travel and hotel costs for delegates attending.
Both types of study will develop your understanding of key project management principles such as planning, communication, risk management, project scope and change management.
