Instructor-Led Training overview

ILT for the digital age

Instructor-led training (ILT) solutions are often dismissed as old fashioned and ignored in favor of a more tech-centric approach. But, sometimes, the most elegant solution is the simplest.

Our approach

The most effective instructor-led training empowers instructors with the tools they need to reach and connect with learners. We collaborate with you to create content that makes instructors feel confident in their ability to engage learners—whether they’re face-to-face in the classroom or teaching from anywhere over Zoom, Teams, or other videotelephony.

Our instructor-led training solutions

We love digital solutions, but they often lack the emotional engagement of face-to-face interactions. ILT allows us to personally craft more meaningful learning experiences.
