Give your trainers the help they need

Over a year on from the great ‘Virtual Switch-Over’, what do we now know that we didn’t in March 2020?

We know we can cope, and that companies and individuals have the resilience needed to endure huge and dramatic changes to the way they work. We know that we can be as effective working from home as we were in the office (and sometimes more so). And we know that internal training teams are adaptable, and have managed to create virtual learning and development programmes from scratch.

Now, though, the training teams in many of the organisations we talk to are exhausted, both from re-designing training that was previously in-person, and then from delivering and facilitating these courses over MS Teams or Zoom. A large part of this exhaustion comes from not quite knowing if the training is hitting the mark.

Are delegates really engaged? What does great virtual training look like anyway? Is there a formula for ‘getting it right’?

We’ve been delivering virtual training sessions for 12 years, and over the last year to help dozens of training teams in organisations across all sectors in (re)designing and delivering their content.

This includes:

-        Making content more webinar audience friendly
-        Having the audience fully engaged from start to finish
-        Creating activities that achieve real group cognition
-        Designing longer 3-5 day virtual programmes

We’ve worked with teams as diverse as the NHS, management consultants, and UK charities to help expert trainers sharpen their new digital tools.

David McAlinden, Director of Learning and Development at Axiom, said about Emailogic training:

“This was one the best courses I have attended in the last 20 years. The course was carefully tailored for our needs and has transformed how we design, build and deliver live virtual sessions. It gave us so many new techniques and skills and the confidence to deliver experiential, engaging and professional webinars.
