Why Choose In-Person Training?

Face-to-Face is Back! Online training is convenient and accessible, but nothing beats the richness of in-person interaction.

  • Engagement: In-person training sessions encourage active participation and interaction, making it easier to grasp complex concepts.
  • Networking: Meet like-minded professionals and expand your professional network, creating real connections.
  • Immediate Feedback: Get real-time answers to your questions and immediate feedback on exercises. Those quick questions you just need to ask, that quick lunch time chat, body language, focus and no more “I think you’re on mute, Dave!”.
  • Stickier learning: Research by the National Training Laboratories in Bethel, Maine, suggests that in-person training with interactive methods (such as “learning by doing” and group discussions) can result in retention rates as high as 75% (as opposed to the large variation of 30-60% in online classes).


While virtual training offers flexibility and convenience, in-person classroom training provides a more engaging, interactive, and immersive learning experience. It fosters better connections, hands-on practice, and personalized attention, all of which contribute to a deeper and more effective learning journey.
