Virtual On-line Training

Many of us have had to quickly adapt to the new reality of working remotely from home. For some this can be a challenging adjustment, for many the new technology has helped us transition more successfully. Distance is no longer a barrier and video conferencing software is readily available, affordable and even free in some cases. Most modern PC’s and TV’s can accommodate cameras being attached for Video conferencing. There is a whole generation that has been educated using online training methods and using their phones, laptops and iPads to stay visually connected with other trainees.

Virtual Instructor Led Training courses are not self-paced eLearning courses. Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) courses are designed to allow trainees to stay motivated and to participate no differently than in a classroom setting.

Fairwinds Training’s instructors can easily adapt classroom material to be facilitated online. Trainers can still interact with participants in real-time, show videos, ask or answer questions, set up participant meeting rooms and provide feedback to keep engagement levels high.
