ILT for the digital age

Instructor-led training (ILT) is any learning environment in which an instructor offers knowledge, insight, and expertise on a subject. Whether in person or virtual, ILT allows for interactive activities, personalized feedback, Q&A, and flexibility that suits learner needs in real time.

We combine ILT with other delivery methods and technology to encourage debate and offer hands-on learning opportunities. We’ll provide learners with a chance to practice their new skills in a safe space before applying them at work.

• The knowledge your employees must develop is complex. They’ll rely on the instructor to answer their questions and give them further information.
• The group you must teach is actually a team. By sharing and discussing ideas with each other and working in groups, they’ll bond and learn to solve problems together.
