Competition in the online education market is no joke – just ask any language school worldwide, and they’ll tell you just how brutal it can be.
‍
In light of social distancing regulations worldwide to curb the spread of Covid-19, schools have shifted the learning experience to the online market. Within a short space of time, the market has become saturated with virtual programs, and competition among language-training providers has reached an all-time high.
‍
As such, traditional language schools have had to review business models in order to better offer students a legitimate online-learning experience, as well as ensure that schools prosper commercially.
‍
For the past years, the educational industry had been static, with almost every institution offering on-site classes (think paperback textbooks, limited classroom seating, and blackboards). However, only a small fraction of the market, led by the new-age “innovators”, had figured out how to digitalise learning services. By 2022, a massive adoption of technology in the educational field erupts triggered by response to Covid-19 – accelerating the market’s growth process by at least 5 years.
‍
Regrettably, a majority of language schools have however only offered remote learning. Despite the massive shift, schools will realise that remote-learning tools are not optimal for online settings, and will move forward in full digitalisation – a natural step in a technological revolution of the educational industry.
‍
Virtual instruction brings with it an array of new opportunities: lesson-recording, content-processing, gamification, data analyses, and self-paced curricula, to mention a few, are all extremely powerful tools that, when combined, go beyond the current remote solution. They allow for a maximum teaching and learning experience, business growth, as well as cost reductions – simultaneously. In short, they unlock the full potential of schools within the online-learning setting.

Traditionally, brick-and-mortar language schools share similar funnelling strategies in student acquisition: First by advertising programs online via social media or Google-ads, followed by prospective clients landing on the website (typically describing courses in detail, and finally detailing a payment plan for enrolment.
‍
However, for newer “click-and-mortar” language schools, funnelling strategies take on a whole new approach. By being fully-online (more-so in a highly-open market) the time taken in experiencing a school’s true values is dramatically decreased. Simply put, a student receives immediate access to a school’s platform (dedicated to online-learning) and instantly gets the idea of the practical experience – from the click a button. Enrolment, as such, naturally follows.
