While there are several reasons why organizations are looking at moving their ILT training programs to blended training; the top 3 reasons are:

- Learners are seeking higher flexibility in the way they want to learn (on the go, self-paced, and on the device of their choice).
This is also reaffirmed by a research:
According to the 2016 Benchmark Report: The State of Online Training, ‘Technology has not decreased the demand for Instructor-Led Training but gives instructors new tools to reach learners…The trend in Instructor-Led Learning is enablement through technology, both in hybrid and fully virtual delivery.’
