Classroom Training

Bevorzugen Sie die klassische Trainingsmethode? Ein Kurs in einem unserer Training Center, mit einem kompetenten Trainer und dem direkten Austausch zwischen allen Teilnehmern? Dann buchen Sie einen der Classroom Training Termine!

Hybrid Training

Hybrid Training bedeutet, dass zusätzliche Online-Teilnehmer an einem Präsenzkurs teilnehmen können. Die Dynamik eines realen Kurses bleibt erhalten, wovon besonders auch die Online-Teilnehmer profitieren. Als Online-Teilnehmer eines Hybrid-Kurses nutzen Sie eine Collaboration-Plattform wie WebEx Training Center oder Saba Meeting. Dazu wird nur ein PC mit Browser und Internet-Anschluss benötigt, ein Headset und idealerweise eine Webcam. Im Kursraum setzen wir speziell entwickelte und angepasste hochwertige Audio- und Videotechnik ein. Sie sorgt dafür, dass die Kommunikation zwischen allen Beteiligten angenehm und störungsfrei funktioniert.

Online Training

Möchten Sie einen Kurs online besuchen? Zu diesem Kursthema bieten wir Ihnen Online-Kurstermine an. Als Teilnehmer benötigen Sie dazu einen PC mit Internet-Anschluss (mindestens 1 Mbit/s), ein Headset, falls Sie per VoIP arbeiten möchten und optional eine Kamera. Weitere Informationen und technische Empfehlungen finden Sie hier.

Inhouse-Schulung
