Even if you own all the equipment you need for a CBT training session you will save money by using the installation services of a computer rental firm. Computer rental companies coordinate technical logistics so you can concentrate on the execution of your computer training program.
Add up all the costs and distractions from your computer training goals. Put a value on your time, say $100 per hour. Now multiply the time you and your staff spent on hardware setup, delivery, installation, maintenance and removal. Keep in mind that all computers need to have the same configuration to maximize productivity.
CBT trainers can become technicians very quickly when training computer equipment doesn't work properly. CBT planners and trainers know how difficult it can be to 'work out all the bugs' before, during and after each training program. Execution is the key to training results and efficiencies. If 20% of the computers don't work, you can have a training disaster on your hands.
Your total costs and total frustration are much lower with temporary computer rental equipment.
Here are several benefits of using a computer rental company for your CBT hardware:
1. Software and be pre-installed on all training computers: Your training program software and the OS of your choice can be installed ahead of time on all desktop or laptop computers! This ensures that your training software will work as planned and it saves time.
2. Installation service before, during and after your computer training sessions: Rental companies do it all! Deliver, setup and cover you with 24 hours on-site service if you require!
Extra, spare equipment can even be included for your computer training class.
3. Last minute change in class size
All it takes is a phone call to get additional computer rental equipment. Renting is very flexible. If someone cancels, you can reduce the number of computers in the classroom just as easily.
4. Larger class size will lower training costs
With one instructor a high-resolution, high-lumen projector and 10-50 computer rentals, your total cost of training will be much lower than smaller sessions. Providing multiple training sessions with the pre-configured training computers will improve training efficiencies and improve the cost dynamics of the total training program.
