How is this course delivered

Virtual learning – this is where a classroom based experience is delivered online, via our virtual classroom/theatre environment.  Instead of a full day in the classroom, we break the session down into bite-size interactions.  Learners can join from any location and participate in the training experience.  Our virtual classroom features break out rooms, drama-based learning with our actors & discussions.

 We limit time in this environment to around 40-minute sessions to maintain learner engagement.
