As everyone is most certainly aware, the last year and a half hasn’t quite been the same. COVID-19 has altered a once normal life in many more ways than one. We all had to adjust and become acquainted with several changes to our usual, daily routines. Places of work, schools, leisure/social venues were all hit with a sea of unprecedented restrictions, new policies and in general, new ways of operating with the list of affected not stopping at training providers and their training courses. However, as we witness the easing of COVID-19 restrictions and life feeling, somewhat, more familiar once again, some of those new-found changes look set to remain in place for the long-stay… More notably, the world of Digital.
Many of us have become increasingly used to seeing colleagues, friends and family members in small, slightly pixelated, 2D boxes across device screens as an efficient alternative to face-to-face meetings, and with video calls proving themselves to be a viable option of mass communication, many businesses are shifting their attentions to improving their digital capabilities. Of course, at Easybook Training, our focus is finding you your perfect Training Course to bolster your career and skillset from hundreds of our accredited training providers, many of whom have made the option of taking part in courses digitally, a reality. With online training courses ranging from Asbestos Awareness Training, NEBOSH certificates, Mental Health Awareness, IOSH Working/Managing Safely and much more.
We understand and appreciate that the multiple lockdowns the country and world has faced over the last year and a half has been tough and taken its toll on many, and the thought of face-to-face events and interactions may still be a daunting one and you may not feel 100% ready to take part in these. Naturally, training courses are often considered to be in-person events at venues, schools or sites, but with technology advancing and of course, adaptation, training providers have been able to create online and online instructor-led courses that allow you to take part from the comfort of your own home via your laptop, PC, tablet or mobile. Certain training courses, particularly practical courses, will still be in-person, but you may well be surprised by the wide selection of online courses available to you.
What Types of Online Learning are Available?
There are two types of online training courses available, Online Training and Online Instructor-Led training.
Online training -
This form of online training available does not have a time limit and you're free to learn at your own pace. The training course can be taken in as many sessions as you wish or completed in one go and is ideal for those who are looking for more flexibility from their learning programmes and do not wish to be tied to traditional classroom-based training courses. If the course is failed, you can retake the assessment as many times as you need at no additional cost. Whether you’re on your daily commute, on your lunch break or at home, you can also complete it wherever you like, with the course accessible on mobiles phones, tablets and PCs with an internet connection.
Online Instructor-Led training -
In addition to self-paced online training, there are also online instructor-led courses which operate virtually over online video calls conducted by an industry professional. Instructor-Led training courses are ideal for those who may live further away from training venues or those who may not yet be fully comfortable with returning to classroom learning. These courses work the same way as classroom based courses, however, the only difference, is you’ll attend a scheduled, interactive class via a Zoom video conference, and will therefore need access to a laptop or desktop computer with a webcam, microphone and speaker. Delegates under the age of 18 must provide written consent from a parent or guardian to successfully attend.
