Train the Virtual Trainer
Transform your experienced instructors and trainers into confident virtual learning facilitators, with our comprehensive online training programme. We will share the mechanics and methodologies of delivering impactful learner-centred training online, rather than face-to-face.
This course provides crucial planning skills, as well as activity and materials design techniques to help make virtual learning as engaging and effective as the physical classroom. Our team will help trainers to understand the need for balance between formal taught sessions, pair and group work, as well as flipped learning to keep participants challenged and motivated on digital mediums.
