Virtual Courses

Virtual Courses

Lloyd Roden Consultancy provides a variety of virtual courses called “Blended Virtual Courses” as they incorporate a mixture of teaching styles using Microsoft Teams. The courses consist of a three-hour teaching session in the morning, individual/group work in the afternoon and then a final online session for any questions and learning games before setting homework in the form of practice exams for the evening. This creates an environment where the courses can be interactive and fun but also where we are not sitting at a screen all day. 

These virtual courses are being offered publicly (please see public course dates) or can be conducted for your own organisation which would be a cheaper option where there are seven or more people attending.

Some companies are allowing people to go back to offices to work together, whilst maintaining social distancing and so this new blended virtual training can operate for organisations where all the participants are working from home, or where they are at work or in training venues where social distancing is applied. Course notes, practice exams and exercises are supplied in both hard and soft copy formats.

With regards the ISTQB exams, these can also be taken in the comfort of your own homes, through remote proctoring, at a date and time convenient to you. Classroom-based exams are still an option providing Covid-19 guidelines are followed.

If you are interested in any of my courses to be delivered in this way, then please don’t hesitate to contact me.
