We deliver training across multiple modalities

Classroom Instructor-Led Training (ILT): Participants interact face-to-face in a traditional classroom setting with one of our trainers. We bring the best professional facilitators to your location to train your employees onsite. Our instructors utilize breakout sessions and interactive activities to promote learning and retention. 

Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT): Participate remotely in a virtual classroom session via live video and audio stream, while interacting with participants and an instructor via chat and other interactive tools. Our online course platforms include WebEx, Adobe Connect, Zoom, and MS Teams. 

Blended Learning: Our blended learning courses integrate technology and digital media with traditional instructor-led classroom activities, giving participants a richer learning experience over an extended period. Combining activities such as self-paced learning, group project online discussions, and live instructor-led activities, blended learning courses are similar in format to graduate-level seminars.
