How instructor-led online training works

Instructor-led online courses (ILO) are taught by a live instructor on a specific day and time. Most courses are exactly the same as their classroom equivalent, including the course duration, content and student materials. Here is what you need to know:

• You receive the course materials in advance
• To participate on the day of the class, all you need is a broadband Internet connection. This allows you to connect to a virtual classroom where you can interact directly with the instructor and your peers.

Request for private class

If your team is geographically dispersed you can also request that our instructor-led online format be delivered as a private class for your company. This is very cost-effective, minimises travel, and enables you to receive training customised to your unique needs - delivered to multiple locations simultaneously.

Benefits of instructor-led online training

• No travel costs or travel time
• Same content as in the classroom version of the course
• Live instructor with whom you can interact and ask questions using Voice Over IP (VOIP)
• Modest connectivity requirements let you participate from anywhere
• Thin client implementation for easy system preparation
• Hands-on labs reinforce concepts learned
• Some classes may be scheduled after business hours to minimize time away from work
• Purchase with an IBM Education Pack and gain additional savings
