Virtual Training Tailored For You

PTR have a wealth of expertise and experience in adapting training content, techniques and styles to suit the specific needs of our clients. This extends to face-to-face “in-classroom” and remote or virtual classroom training. There are no boundaries to learning when the solution is designed around you, and now more than ever you need understanding and flexibility to continue providing essential skills development to you, your colleagues and your business regardless of where you may all be working from. If you have any reservations about remote training and how it could work for you and your team, just call us. We will be happy to answer any of your questions and look at how we can adapt to accommodate any specific needs or requests that you have.

The Challenges

  • Difficult to engage in the same way and develop a rapport

  • Hard to concentrate and keep focused for long periods

  • Lab sessions can be challenging when the instructor or your fellow delegates are not at your side to answer your questions or help you along

  • It can be a little lonely attending a course remotely

  • It may be a little intimidating to ask a question with everyone focused on you

  • There can be distractions from children, pets, deliveries

  • Comfort breaks don’t always fit into a training class schedule

  • The need to grab a glass of water or a cup of tea/coffee doesn’t always fit into a training class schedule

  • Technology can let us down sometimes with internet connectivity drops, or camera and microphone malfunctions

What Do We Do?

All our remote/virtual classes are interactive and encourage communication and engagement, just as our in-classroom courses do. We believe that training and learning is a two-way experience that consists not just of an instructor delivering content, but of students participating in dialogue, questions, and answers to ensure that sessions are interesting, stimulating and above all successful in transferring relevant knowledge to prepare for applying new skills when back at work.

  • Purpose-designed delivery platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Adobe Connect

  • Short bursts of knowledge transfer followed by question an answer sessions and hands-on labs

  • Varied visual aids such as presentations, whiteboards, paper & pen, videos

  • Engaging in lab sessions that wherever possible encourage collaboration in small groups

  • Frequent short breaks

  • Communication channels

How Do We Do It?

Although remote or virtual training may be new to you it is not new to us, so you can trust that we will deliver the same professional, yet relaxed and friendly training experience you are used to from PTR. The most important thing for all of us during these strange times is to keep everyone safe and healthy, and for many that will mean working from home for a while to come yet. That doesn’t mean that you cannot continue to equip yourself and your team with the new skills you need to be better equipped to achieve work goals and personal development targets

  • We structure course modules to keep them bitesize and manageable for a remote delivery

  • Our instructors will use a variety of media to keep training as engaging as possible. It may be PowerPoint, it may be a smart whiteboard, it may be a document camera focused on a notepad, it may be a short video clip

  • We take advantage of delivery platform breakout rooms to enable delegates to work collaboratively in small groups for lab sessions and to ask the instructor for assistance as if in a physical classroom

  • We use platforms that enable a private chat capability with the instructor for personal requests, or offline questions

  • We ensure our instructors are equipped with quality webcams, microphones, document cameras

  • We provide an email address and phone number for contact in the event of a connectivity failure
