Train the Virtual Facilitator
Train the Virtual Facilitator Program
Virtual facilitation has already been on the rise over the last few years. With the Coronavirus pandemic, virtual facilitation has become a core competency for trainers, educators, facilitators, and coaches.
Success in the virtual learning environment requires unique participant engagement skills, creating interactive learning experiences, being sensitive to group behaviors, and demonstrating confidence and competence to multitask in a new technical learning environment.
The Virtual Trainer workshop will give trainers an in-depth experience of the knowledge, skills, and tools required of trainers and facilitators in the virtual learning world. After this training, trainers will have developed the skills and confidence to facilitate their virtual learning programs.
This virtual training program is based on our decade of crafting learning experiences, mastering the principles and practices of the neuroscience, experiential and adult learning. It is also based on urgently catering to virtual learning requirements of our clients by moving our offline training programs to online virtual environments.
Through this workshop, we intend to support trainers and facilitators to become competent in using innovative virtual methods to create interactive, engaging, and impactful virtual learning experiences for their participants.
