Introducing our newly extended virtual training with greatly increased bandwidth and system resources.
The technology utilised provides not just the ability to attend from anywhere but to achieve from anywhere. You're able to study in a true live virtual classroom environment and you're now also able to take your exams in your own office or home!

Major factors separate a standard, physically present set of learners from virtual attendees. These include well documented differences in attention spans, spatial differences, physical viewpoint differences, audio channel differences and so on. Designing training to accommodate both audiences simultaneously (physical and virtual at the same event) is a challenge to say the least.
Classroom training is at its best when a 'learner-centric environment' is established and maintained and the instructor intelligently follows the classroom orientated instructional design. Online training has its own timings - particularly shorter feedback and assessment cycles, a virtual classroom user interface and a different set of tools - polls, emoticons, etc. with which to build an effective 'learner-centric' environment. Building both into a single high value learning event that runs for a number of hours has to be an incorporation of all the factors, something less focused than for either individual audience.
In the light of the above, TrainX are only offering physical attended classes referred to as In-Person or purely virtual classes referred to as Attend from Anywhere classes.
Many of our courses can be delivered in a pure Virtual Classroom and with timings to suit your requirements - contact us now for full details.
Some courses require 'hands-on' access to high-end technology in addition to the Citrix virtual classroom environment:
Other subject areas don't require technical 'hands-on' labs and so we're delivering them via GoToMeeting or GoToTraining as appropriate. These include:
TrainX are releasing a set of new titles presently including Microsoft SQL Server and Visual Studio titles.
