Hanoi (VNA) – The Trainer Summit, themed “Raising
income with online training”, took place in Hanoi on July 26, giving lecturers
a platform to promote e-learning environment in Vietnam.



Speaking at the event, Chairman of the Vietnam Internet
Association (VIA) Vu Hoang Lien said the VIA serves as a bridge linking
together its members as service providers and software makers, making it easier
for them to develop e-training.



A survey from the Unica training facility said only 8
percent of firms nationwide are turning to online learning solutions while 7
percent of others are piloting them. The figure is expected to surge to 28
percent in the next two years.



Unica founder Nguyen Trong Tho said online training could
serve millions of users, save their time and travelling cost. Meanwhile,
traditional classrooms sometimes face the lack of students, leading to limited
income for lecturers and high tuition fees.



During the event co-hosted by VIA and Unica, more than 800
people interested in online training career shared their experience in how to
become a successful online trainer, including producing online curricula and
expanding the market.



In Vietnam, 40 percent of its population subscribe to
Internet, mostly young people. The Vietnamese spend up to 3-4 billion USD on
sending their children to abroad for study. The online training market grows
over 40 percent annually with an estimated worth of no more than 2 billion USD.



According to the Topica Founder Institute, Vietnam recorded
309 projects in education-training with a total registered capital of more than
767 million USD at the end of 2016.-VNA
