Instructor-led Online Courses

Instructor-led online courses (ILO) are taught by a live instructor on a suitable day and time, one-to-one or with a small number of people.

Delegates interact with each other and the trainer using virtual desktops and video conferencing equipment.

Most courses are exactly the same as their classroom equivalent, including the course duration, content and student materials.

The course materials are sent to you in advance. To participate on the day of the class, all you need is a broadband Internet connection.

In case of computer courses, each deleagte has its own remote destkop where they can perform exercises with an assistance of the trainer.

It is very efficient way of teaching as well as cost effective.
