In Batam, PurpleTrain.com kicks off with a bang. Launched together with PT Pasada Artha Karya (PTPAK) on July 2003, its vision is to become the training partner of choice in Batam. The turnout for its events, seminars and road shows has been tremendous. Procuring excellent support from business partners, corporate members, it is well-received by the general public.

A seminar, aptly named 'A New Era of Corporate Learning' was held at BBC (BatamIndo Business Council) on 7 November. 28 corporate members, mainly training managers of the tenants of BatamIndo attended the seminar to know more about e-Learning as the new age corporate training tool. The concept of e-Learning got the attendees greatly interested. 'Everyone seems so excited about e-Learning, it is going to be the best tool for corporate training,' said Mr Thomas Poh, invited speaker cum consultant.

The seminar on e-Learning, 'The Gateway to International Qualification' was held at Melia Panorama Hotel on 17 November. 23 members of the general public attended the seminar. The seminar proves to be an excellent platform for the attendees to have all their enquiries answered; clearing all their doubts gives them a better idea of using e-Learning as their gateway to international qualification.

Held at one of the biggest shopping mall in Muka Kuning, the road show at Panbil Mall from 22-24 November attracted a consistent crowd from shoppers and the nearby BatamIndo Industrial Park. Throughout the day, all the course consultants were busy engaging in consultation, explaining the benefits of e-Learning and courses offered by PurpleTrain.com. 'The turnout was better than anticipated. The number of follow ups required was definitely encouraging,' said Mr. Poh.

E-learning enables students to overcome all barriers, especially time constraint and geographical distance, to pursue their goals in continuous learning. It has been anticipated that e-Learning adoption will surge as more people know about its benefits. 'I am confident that e-Learning adoption will experience a great growth within the next one year. E-learning is an alternative to the disadvantages of traditional classroom learning' said Mr. Poh.

Latest e-Learning Statistics

IDC expects e-Learning adoption in the Asia/ Pacific region to experience the greatest growth from 2004-2005. This is when the market has reached a stage of maturity where the benefits of e-Learning are understood and e-Learning is found to be a major part of the corporation's long-term strategic objectives.

The corporate e-Learning market is expected to be worth almost US$233 million by 2005, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25%.

As the e-Learning market in the Asia/ Pacific region is still in its infant stages, this market is characterised by few local players from the supply side and a small number of early adopters from the demand side. Because there are few end-to-end solutions provider, partnerships with complementary e-Learning and ILT vendors is the optimal solution for entrepreneurs and corporations wanting to impact the market. This enables companies to have access to the other's installed base (expanding reach) as well as opens opportunities for co-development for content and infrastructure.

The global phenomenon of using the Internet as a preferred mode of education enables everybody to be equal in terms of education and knowledge. E-Learning with PurpleTrain.com involves an innovative web portal learning system, delivering world-class education. It provides opportunities for 'everyone, anytime, anywhere'.
