If you\u2019re used to attending classroom-based training, the idea of remote training through a computer screen might seem a little daunting. But there\u2019s really no need to worry, it\u2019s all quite straightforward and there are plenty of reasons why you should embrace the technology:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, there\u2019s no need to travel anywhere<\/strong>. You can train from the comfort of your own home \u2013 or even your garden if the weather\u2019s fine! Anyone, anywhere in the world, can book onto one of our live remote training sessions because distance is no barrier. This will also save you time and money!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, you don\u2019t require any special equipment<\/strong> to be able to attend. All you need is your laptop, PC, tablet or even your smart phone! They just need to have a camera, microphone and speakers, which are generally built-in.  We send you a link via email to join the training session. Click on it and you\u2019re in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remote but together<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thirdly, you can see, hear and interact with the trainer and other delegates<\/strong> on the course, whilst practising the ultimate in social distancing. The training is live, so it will start and finish at designated times, just like a regular course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A member of staff from Verner Wheelock will also log in to welcome you and assist with any technical issues you might have. We generally use the Zoom platform, so many of you will already be familiar with this through keeping in touch with friends and family. Don\u2019t panic<\/strong> if you\u2019ve never used it before, we\u2019ll take you through it. Or if you like, you can contact us before the course on 01756 700802<\/strong> and one of the team will give you a demo and show you how easy it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just like our regular training courses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every remote session is delivered by an experienced and professional trainer from Verner Wheelock. You will be able to interact with them by asking questions directly or by messaging<\/strong>. You\u2019ll also have the opportunity to do group exercises, just as you would on one of our classroom-based courses. This is one of the advantages traditional classroom-based training has over the usual ‘click through’ online courses, but now you can have the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, we have done everything we possibly can to replicate our face-to-face training and it is working really well. Just look at some of the feedback we\u2019ve received<\/a> to some recent remote courses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
