Learning Modes

Instructor-Led Training

Interactive training sessions led by experienced facilitators.

What is In-Person, Instructor-Led Training?

Our in-person training is delivered by a live facilitator who works directly with your team at your location. It’s our most popular format because it allows for real-time interaction, hands-on learning, and direct support.

Every session is tailored to your team’s specific goals, industry, and challenges—no generic, one-size-fits-all programs. Whether it’s a single session or a full training series, we design the experience to be relevant, practical, and fully aligned with your needs.

What is Live Webinar Training?

Live webinars are facilitator-led training sessions delivered online in real time. They’re ideal for teams working in different locations or with busy schedules.

This format offers shorter, more frequent sessions that are easy to coordinate—making it a convenient option for organizations with remote or distributed teams.

What is Virtual Classroom Training?

Virtual Classroom training is live, instructor-led training delivered online. It offers the same interactive experience as in-person sessions, with real-time discussions, group activities, and instructor feedback.

It’s a flexible option for organizations that want to reduce travel, save costs, or better fit training into busy schedules.

What is a Lunch & Learn Session?

Lunch & Learn sessions are short, facilitator-led training sessions delivered in person or online—typically during the lunch hour. They focus on specific topics or skills and offer a quick, engaging way to learn without a full-day commitment.

These sessions can be offered as one-time events or as part of a series, making them a great option for ongoing, bite-sized learning.
