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 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

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.  Earphones or headset may be preferable.

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

All of our training courses are available on a dedicated basis within the virtual classroom environment.

    All delegates receive a certificate upon successful completion of our online courses. IEMA, CQI and IRCA have approved are virtual training courses and virtual exams.
    Whilst undertaking our Lead Auditor and Auditor Conversion exam you will need to share your screen. When using an Apple Mac, in some instances delegates are unable to screen share on Zoom. Generally, this is due to your privacy settings. We have put together a guide to help resolve this: Screen Share on a Mac To resolve this we recommend undertaking the following steps: Go to your 'Settings' Go to 'Security and Privacy' Select 'Screen Recording' Ensure the box next to Zoom is ticked. Please note, if the area which shows the Zoom app is greyed out you will need to click the padlock symbol prior to ticking 'Zoom.us'. The next time you log into Zoom you should now be able to screen share. If you are still unable to share your screen please contact Bywater for further assistance.
    The features are very user-friendly and delegates that have completed training within our Virtual Classroom testify to this. If you have any concerns about using the technology please contact us and we will be happy to set up a test call with you.

    Our Virtual Classroom training is very interactive. Many delegates have expressed a concern that Virtual Classroom training will not be as interactive as face to face training prior to the course and then within their feedback have rated the level of interaction and the virtual experience as the elements that exceeded their expectations. We incorporate various training methods within the Virtual Classroom to ensure it remains highly engaging, including workshops and roles plays within breakout rooms, an interactive whiteboard function, case studies and more. Webcams and microphones allow you to see, hear and communicate with the tutor and other delegates throughout the course.
    For online Virtual Classroom courses, exam answers are typed within our user-friendly online exam platform. Exams are invigilated via video conferencing and measures are in place, including anti-plagiarism software, to prevent cheating. The exam protocol is provided prior to the exam. Professional bodies, including IEMA, CQI and IRCA, have approved our virtual exam process.  
    We recommend you ensure your internet connection is stable prior to joining the course. If you do have problems with connectivity please contact our team who will do their utmost to help.
