VIRTUAL FACILITATION AND TRAINING
Virtual: 120 minutes / 120 minutes x 2
In-person: 180 minutes
Virtual training is no longer a backup plan. It is a core capability.
Today’s learners are more distracted, more selective, and more experienced with online environments than ever before. Simply transferring face-to-face content onto Zoom or Teams no longer works. High-impact virtual facilitation requires a different mindset, a different design approach, and a sharper focus on learner experience.
This programme is designed for trainers, educators, facilitators, internal coaches, and team leaders who want to move beyond “functional” virtual sessions and design learning experiences that are interactive, human, and effective. Instead of relying on slides and one-way delivery, participants will learn how to intentionally design and facilitate virtual sessions that keep people engaged, involved, and accountable for learning.
​
This is a highly practical, experience-led course. Participants will experience best-practice virtual facilitation first-hand, step into the facilitator role, practise delivering content in a virtual setting, and receive real-time feedback from both the trainer and peers. The focus is not on tools alone, but on how to design the full learning journey for before, during, and after the session to drive meaningful learning outcomes.
In this virtual bite-size training course, you’ll not only learn but take part in best-practice virtual training. Thinking about your own training, you’ll consider what changes you need to make to really bring out the best in your learners, and experience virtual training as a participant. Join this course to have the opportunity to take over as host, present material and get feedback from the trainer and other participants.
