Remote Training Courses (Instructor-led)

Remote training courses (live Instructor-led online) are taught by an instructor on a one-to-one basis or with a small number of participants (typically 4 to 8 trainees).

The participants and the trainer interact with each other using virtual desktops and video calls (VOIP such as Skype)
Most courses are exactly the same as their classroom equivalent, including the course duration, curriculum and student materials.
With these sessions, each participant has their own remote desktop where they can perform labs and exercises with the oversight of the trainer.
This is often a more efficient way of teaching than a traditional classroom setting.
