Bright Thinking Training Virtual Training Expresso Sessions

As with many businesses, BTT is having to make adjustments to how we deliver our training services, in line with COVID 19 restrictions. This includes the development of a suite of Virtual Training Sessions, which have been receiving excellent feedback due to the ‘short burst’ focussed learning, convenience and cost effectiveness of this approach.

We are excited to offer you a growing range of titles, which can be entirely flexible to your needs.

Give Susan a ring to have a more detailed chat about any of the sessions (and please let us know if you can’t find what you’re looking for!)

What is a Virtual Training Expresso Session?

Due to the challenging times we are living in, we are all having to look at how we ensure our businesses continue to function effectively. This includes ensuring there is adequate training provision, to meet the development needs of our employees.

Virtual Training Expresso Sessions (VTES) aim to replicate, as closely as possible, face to face training but over a much shorter period of time.
Our VTES, are interactive, engaging and fun. They provide the opportunity to ask questions, discuss issues and share good practice and offer a whole host, of interactive elements.

Here are just some of the features, we can use to enable participants to learn effectively and stay fully engaged:

• Pre-workshop questionnaires/Pre-workshop Learning Outcomes Review

•  Pre-work for the VTS eg. Reading, Skills Assessments

•  LIVE discussion/LIVE voice Q&A

•  Video presenter/Animation

•  Assessments and quizzes

•  Whiteboards & LIVE polls

Number of participants: Usually 10

Duration: Generally 90 Minutes

NB. Some companies are preferring 10am -12noon 1 hour for lunch then another session 1pm – 3pm which will enable a more in depth training session

Certification: Participants will receive a Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Certificate

Titles of our most in demand sessions now follow. Drop us an email if you would like more details of session objectives/learning outcomes and workshop outline.
