benefit of not knowing who else will
attend. This can add a further dimension
to the learning as you can share ideas
and experiences from others in the sector
within similar roles. CNet has scheduled
classroom-based programmes across
the world, many have remote attendance
capability too.
On-site programmes
Here, the professional instructor delivers
the educational programme to multiple
people from the same organisation at their
place of work, at the same time. This is the
ultimate convenience for the learners and
ideal if they can escape the distractions
of their day-to-day work while at their
workplace. It also encourages team
discussion and teamwork as colleagues
can learn and innovate together.
Remote attendance
There are various forms of remote
attendance learning available. Some
provide details to join an online meeting
that allows you to see and hear an
instructor or teacher. Others are more
sophisticated and allow you to join a
place-based classroom with other learners
sitting in the actual room. CNet’s remote
attendance capability is different from
others. It really does share the same
classroom experience live with learners
wherever they are in the world. Using the
latest collaboration-enabled facilities,
CNet provides those wishing to attend
a programme remotely with access
to specially designed smart rooms. In
real-time, remote attendees benefit
from the same instructor-led classroom
environment, with the same levels of
interaction, collaboration and instructor
contact as those who are physically
present in the room. Remote attendees
effectively sit in the same classroom as all
other learners and can therefore see, hear
and enjoy the same learning experience.
Additionally, remote attendees can often
take part in group activities via a virtual
break out room, combining those in the
classroom with the remote attendees.
Distance learning
The ultimate flexible learning where the
material is accessed online, allowing the
learning to be undertaken asynchronously
– when and where it is convenient. This
approach does take focus and motivation
as it is all too easy to push the flexible
element too far and procrastinate. Secrets
to success with distance learning include
ensuring you dedicate time by creating a
routine and adhering to it, having a quiet
place to learn without the distractions
of family or work life and using your
dedicated online tutor support when
available. This is a fantastic delivery
method for individuals that cannot
commit to specific classroom or remote
attendance time programme due to their
work commitments.
CNet’s CEO, Andrew Stevens
This way of learning allows the individual
to manage their own learning schedule to
fit around their work/life commitments.
CNet’s Data Centre Fundamentals
programme is perfect for individuals who
are new to the industry (technicians with
limited experience or exposure to data
centre facilities) or for those who sell
products and services to the data centre
industry or who sell data centre services.
This distance learning programme has
been designed to help demystify the
complex world of data centres. It provides
an overview of what data centres are,
what they do and why we need them. The
Certified Telecommunications Project
Management (CTPM), programme is
designed to enable students to ensure
good project management that will, in
turn, help the result of the project improve
its performance.
Blended learning
An approach to education that combines
online pre-class study with place-based
classroom learning. This could involve
the support of an online tutor during the
pre-class study in readiness for attending
classroom sessions. Blended learning
is ideal for those who do not fully enjoy
distance learning as it provides motivation
and a deadline to complete the online
study and the ability to discuss new
learning with others and the instructor
during the classroom sessions.
