Learning and Development Procurement Intelligence

In this learning and development procurement intelligence report, we have estimated the pricing of the key cost components. Trainers’ salaries, IT costs, facility rental, staff training, marketing and advertising, and othersare some of the key cost components of the category. IT costs include developing learning software and learning management system (LMS) platforms for conducting learning sessions and providing other online services.

Training staff with advancements in technological learning solutions also adds up to the overall costs. The components integrated into the program will impact the expenditure associated with delivering the service. Costs may emerge from tangible items like printed materials such as handouts, manuals, or workbooks. Moreover, the venue of the training session is also a crucial factor in influencing the service cost. For instance, if the training sessions are held offsite, the service provider must bear extra costs for team travel, accommodation, and meals.

The service providers incur the cost of developing an LMS platform, which may cost around USD 30,000 to USD 500,000. The cost of hosting a custom LMS can range from USD 1,000 to USD 10,000 per year. The cost of hosting on-premises installed LMS can range from USD 500 to USD 10,000 per year. However, the cost of LMS varies depending on the complexity of desired features and functionalities.

Rate Benchmarking

In the evaluation of rate benchmarking for learning and development, key factors such as the expertise and experience of trainers, the nature of services offered, and the geographical location of the firm play a pivotal role. The U.S., China, India, and Japan emerge as optimal destinations for service providers, owing to their well-established corporate sectors, developed work cultures, and substantial workforce.

The determination of trainers' salaries varies significantly across these regions. In the U.S., where the cost of living and labor rates are comparatively higher, the annual salary range for learning and development trainers typically falls between USD 55,000 and USD 80,000. In contrast, China and India, with lower labor costs, a more economical standard of living, and abundant manpower, witness a lower salary range for similar roles. Learning and development trainers in India, for example, earn between USD 3,000 and USD 10,000 annually, while their counterparts in China may receive an annual salary ranging from USD 7,000 to USD 21,000.

Similarly, in Japan, the annual compensation for a Learning and Development trainer spans from USD 30,000 to USD 40,000 per year. These salary differentials can be attributed to various factors, including regional economic conditions, the availability of skilled manpower, and the level of expertise and experience held by trainers in each respective market.
