Live e-Learning Training

A "Virtual Workshop" is a real-time, instructor-led presentation using web-based technology and teleconferencing for audio. This is also referred to in the industry as a "live e-learning" event. We have made it as close to classic classroom instruction as the internet allows. To enable an interactive learning environment, we limit the size of our public virtual workshops to a maximum of 8-10 participants. This small group setting allows us to make the experience more personal and allows each student more time for one-on-one with the instructor.
