How is an online tailor-made training programme provided?

With our tailor-made online language and communication training programmes you will learn from home with personalised guidance from a trainer. By using an online learning environment, you get the best of both worlds.

Based on the learning process, we have decided in consultation with the client to offer an online learning environment, such as a virtual classroom. Just like in a real session, a Virtual Classroom enables us to discuss theory, share knowledge and experiences, practise, give and receive feedback, and experiment. Learning in the Virtual Classroom is similar to a training programme attended in person, but of course some things are different. For example, it sometimes takes some getting used to the technique, and some of the instruction methods and assignments are different.

Before the start of the training programme, you will receive clear instructions on how to log in to the online learning environment and what you can do to prepare. After that, you can easily get started.
