Virtual Classroom Training

Virtual Classroom Training is a live, tutor-led learning experience that utilises video conferencing technology to provide a highly engaging and interactive online course.  Delegates are able to participate in group sessions, collaborate and up-skill from the convenience of their home or location of choice.

Bywater is a leading provider of management systems and business improvement Virtual Classroom events with one of the most extensive ranges of online course titles and dates available. All of our courses can be delivered via Virtual Classroom Training and maintain their certifications with professional bodies such as CQI and IRCA, IEMA and IOSH.

Our online Virtual Classroom Training courses enjoy all of the benefits of our venue based Scheduled Training courses with the added convenience of not having to leave your home. Limited classroom sizes ensures maximum engagement.

We use Zoom, a video-conferencing platform, as our preferred training delivery solution. Zoom’s technology ensures the course is interactive and engaging with functions such as:

  • Screensharing PowerPoint slides and relevant course materials
  • Breakout rooms for workshops, case studies and role plays
  • Annotating the whiteboard during interactive sessions
  • Sending files and messages via the Zoom chat function

You will be provided with joining instructions and a guide to Zoom prior to the course date.  Zoom’s user-friendly interface means no previous experience on Zoom is required. Taster sessions are available upon request, please contact our team for more information.

All you need to participate is a laptop, desktop PC or tablet* with a fast & stable internet connection, plus a webcam, microphone and audio (built in or connected via USB or Bluetooth).  Earphones or headset may be preferable.

*Please note Lead Auditor and Auditor Conversion exams cannot be completed on a tablet
