The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has caused organisations to be reluctant to arrange onsite face-to- face training sessions for the time being. As an alternative, therefore we can now provide live face-to- face webinar training which participants can access remotely.

Webinar training sessions

Webinar training is the closest thing to a real, face-to-face training session. Participants access the training “room” via their own device (computer, laptop, tablet, mobile phone etc) over the internet. Typically you might have up to 15 participants on any one session. As long as each participant’s device has a microphone and an internal camera, then everyone can see and hear everyone else. Only the host (ie the trainer from Tidal Training) needs to have an account. Everyone else just logs in to the unique link that they are given via email. The host (trainer) is live, so he or she can interact in real time with participants.

The trainer can share files with participants, and can display various resources such as a PowerPoint presentation, or a video clip, or something else from a different screen altogether (eg from their own tablet or mobile device). Participants can speak and ask questions just as they would in a face-to-face training session, or they can submit written questions or comments via a chat box.
