The pandemic has had a huge impact on many industries and has caused them to shift gears. Take for instance, the corporate training industry. It has been through an upheaval and has had to change its face to quite an extent! Now which face am I talking about? Classroom training of course. Yes, classroom training is a complete ‘no no’ right now, for reasons we all understand too well! And which is the new kid on the block? Virtual training of course. Now many of you will say, “but virtual training is not new! It’s been there since a long time.” Well yes, I agree. Some forms of it like E-Learning have been around since quite a while. But I’m not talking about E-Learning. I’m talking about instructor led trainings held online. Again, many of you may say, “but there are some amazing instructor led virtual trainings already available on the internet.” Yes, I agree again. But those are the recorded one’s. Sessions where the instructor is on the screen and is talking to us, but it’s unfortunately a one-way communication. We can’t talk back to them nor ask them questions as soon as they pop up in our minds! So, what am I then referring to then? Virtual Instructor Led Training Sessions. And what are those? Well, let me explain… What is a Virtual Instructor Led Training Session? Replace the instructor in a recorded instructor led online session and there you have it, a virtual instructor led training. In short, it’s like a classroom training. The only difference being that its not held in a physical classroom. Its in a virtual classroom. Benefits of Virtual Instructor Led Training That would be all the benefits of a classroom training along with those of the virtual world. So, you can interact with the instructor live. You can ask questions and clear your doubts there and then. The presence of fellow participants also provides you an opportunity for peer learning. And one of the best things is the activities. Just like a classroom training, you can take part in various activities too. So, its fun along with learning! And what are the virtual benefits? Its cost effective as there is no venue cost. We all know how many free videoconferencing applications are there that can be used! Also, neither the trainer nor the participants need to travel to the venue. This saves travel, lodging and boarding costs. And of course, you save on meals and refreshment costs too! Another great benefit is that these sessions are held in short modules of 2 to 4 hour durations. This leaves the rest of the day available for participants to work and keep their productivity going. Not to mention how happy their superiors and customers are! So, what are you waiting for? Arrange virtual instructor led training sessions for your employees and reap the benefits.
