The technology and virtual experience

Presenting and delivering interactive online sessions requires very specific skills that Huthwaite facilitators have developed over years of delivering virtual training. All Huthwaite facilitators have experience of delivering virtual classroom programmes to companies of all sizes.

Currently, our programme can be easily delivered on two virtual platform technologies, Zoom and Webex Training. At the beginning of every programme, we ensure participants get the best, most enjoyable experience possible from our virtual training with a crucial orientation session that ensures they fully understand the interaction tools and can experience the virtual environment in full.

Our digital collaborative platform includes an onboarding module which ensures participants can fully engage on the platform and appreciate the learning experience together.

Programme schedule

Unlike the face-to-face classroom, it is hard for participants to focus on a virtual programme for three solid days which is why we reimagined our entire Account Strategy learning journey for the virtual world. Access to digital learning resources offer various activities that take around 20-30 minutes in preparation for the timetable of virtual sessions which last a maximum of 4 hours each.

Project management

We can assist with all aspects of organisation including clear instruction around timings and participant expectations as well as tips on how your teams can make the most of their virtual and digital experiences.
