Frequently asked questions

Instructor Led Training refers to a traditional form of education where a knowledgeable instructor leads a classroom or virtual session to deliver training to learners. It involves direct interaction between the instructor and participants, allowing for real-time feedback and guidance.

ILT offers numerous benefits, including personalized attention, immediate clarification of doubts, interactive discussions, and hands-on learning experiences. It promotes engagement, fosters collaboration among learners, and enables participants to receive expert guidance from the instructor.

Unlike e-learning or self-paced courses, ILT provides a structured and interactive learning environment. It allows participants to engage with the instructor and fellow learners, receive real-time feedback, and benefit from the instructor's expertise. ILT offers the opportunity for immediate clarification and fosters dynamic interactions.

Yes, ILT can be conducted virtually using web conferencing tools or virtual classroom platforms. This allows participants from different locations to join the training session and interact with the instructor and peers through video conferencing, chat features, and shared documents.
