Classroom Training

What is Classroom Training?

Classroom training and seminars for professional development training means that the instruction is conducted in person by an instructor in a physical classroom or lecture room setting. Qualified instructors lead the course with a set lesson plan.

Professional training courses in this setting are popular as they have regularly scheduled dates and locations, are open for public registrations, and allow participants to network with industry peers while benefiting from expert instruction.

Courses offered in classroom settings range in length from short updates and refresher courses to months-long programs that culminate in professional certifications or qualifications.

4 Advantages of Classroom Training:

1. Learn with Peers and Network

Classroom courses are an excellent opportunity to learn in a group setting with industry peers. Group settings encourage higher levels of engagement and discussion while creating simultaneous and organic opportunities for networking.  Although online courses may be more convenient for busy professionals, building industry contacts through a computer screen is much more difficult than in a classroom setting. Choose to take the course that best suits your professional needs in a classroom setting and build your professional network.

2. Instructor-led

Instructor-led classroom training is one of the most popular types of professional training available. Instructor-led training occurs in the classroom or seminar setting with an expert trainer on hand to present learning materials and advise participants. Instructor-led classroom training often proves to be a highly effective method of learning, especially for complex subjects that require a more practical or group based approach, such as assertiveness training or team building. One of the biggest assets of instructor-led classroom training is that trainers can respond to questions and direct learners to relevant learning resources. Highly-skilled instructors can also offer individualized attention when needed, as well as tailor training to suit the ability level and learning style of participants. 

3. Hands-On Approach

Many classroom courses on offer take a hands-on approach to the learning process. For example, our training providers offering courses in presentations skills often include practice presentations and helpful group feedback as part of the course. Classroom training courses and seminars can be highly interactive, using relevant techniques and resources to engage participants and ensure that the course content will be utilized in the workplace.

4. Fewer Distractions

Learning and practicing new skills in a safe environment, away from the noise and pressures of the regular workspace is a major advantage for many. One might be able to learn the same material in an online setting, but it is easy to fall into "multi-tasking" habits when in front of a computer. A classroom setting is designed to be perfectly isolated so as to make the training the only focus.
