How do AssistKD’s virtual workshops work?

AssistKD’s virtual workshops are conducted live and online in a ‘virtual’ classroom space via Microsoft Teams. On the day of the workshop, we ask delegates to log on in time for a 9am start. The workshop ends at 4.30pm. An hour is ring-fenced for lunch, but timings can vary.

Designed to be interactive, responsive and engaging, our virtual (live) courses are led by trainers who are experts in their fields, with real-life industry experience.

The benefit of the virtual classroom is that delegates enjoy all the benefits of ‘in-real-time' training, but with no travel requirements or overnight stays.

Regular comfort breaks, team exercises and break-out sessions keep delegates focused and reinforce learning.

Can you attend virtual workshops from outside the UK?

Yes.

When will I receive my joining instructions?
