When taking an online course, do you miss the benefits of being in a classroom: live instruction, group interaction and hands-on labs? Now you don't have to. We offer our most popular courses in a format we call Instructor-led Online. This format means you get the benefits of being in a classroom with the convenience and cost savings of online training.
How instructor-led online training works
Instructor-led online courses are taught by a live instructor on a specific day and time. In most cases, these courses are the same as their classroom equivalent in terms of course length, content and student materials. You receive the course materials in advance. And on the day of the class, all you need is a broadband Internet connection to participate. This allows you to connect to a virtual classroom where you can interact directly with the instructor to ask questions or clarify the material - just as you would in a physical classroom.
And since the best way to learn is by doing, most classes include hands-on labs. For these courses, you will be able to access a remote lab environment from your desktop. As you work through exercises, the instructor can shadow you, provide guidance and address questions or issues.
Benefits of this format
- No travel costs or travel time
- Same content as the classroom version of the course (in most cases)
- 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
