Abstract
Training for employees improves work efficiency and for this reason companies should invest in their employees' development. Realising the training necessity is, however, only the beginning. The choice of an appropriate training leaves much doubt. Yet, choosing a method of education is the most difficult part of the process. Apart from traditional training - which is still the most popular one - Internet training gains in popularity. The choice between an e-learning and a traditional training happens to be complicated. It depends on many factors - the size of a company and its needs. A small company that needs a training for a few employees will need completely different solutions from a corporation which, having hundreds or thousands of employees to be trained, may find it beneficial to organise an internal training, information and communication system. This article shows advantages and disadvantages of both traditional and e-learning training, which should be considered by companies choosing methods of their employees' training.

Summary
As one of distant learning forms, e-learning has been created to meet the needs of those who, because of some factors such as work or social conditions, are unable to take part in traditional forms of education. E-learning meant an accurate reflection of the issues from training carried out traditionally, the only difference being in the Internet as a means of knowledge transfer. This is the first generation of e-learning. Despite the fact that e-learning training was still a reflection of traditionally presented issues, the introduction of multimedia and interactive elements allowed the training to be made-to measure to meet the individual expectations and needs of clients. The degree and scope of using e-learning in employees' training depends on those economic factors and the form and strategy applied by the company
