CNET EXPERT DISCUSSES
REMOTE ATTENDANCE
LEARNING CAPABILITY
CNet Training’s President and CEO, Andrew Stevens,
discusses CNet’s Remote Attendance capability and how the
delivery of each CNet Remote Attendance program has been
remodelled to further enrich the remote learning experience.
HHow long has CNet Training been
offering Remote Attendance?
For the last three years, we have been
delivering programs via live instructorled
Remote Attendance classes. We
anticipated this would be driven by the
need to operate in a more sustainable
and environmentally sensitive way, we
obviously did not anticipate COVID-19.
Our Remote Attendance delivery has
been tried and tested over the last three
years, allowing learners to feel 100%
confident that their learning experience
will be professional, effective and of the
highest quality.
How does Remote Attendance
differ from online learning at
home programs?
Remote Attendance is an entirely
different learning style to traditional online
learning or distance learning programs.
Although these are great ways to learn,
the content is usually only online-based
with little collaboration with an instructor
and the learner is responsible for their
own learning schedule, motivation

and meeting deadlines etc. Remote
Attendance is a fully immersive and
interactive experience that delivers the
same rich quality content that you would
experience in a classroom setting. The
programs are also delivered in the exact
same way a classroom-based program
would run, set start and end times
each day, break for lunch and constant
interaction with the instructor and
everyone else on the program.
How does remote learning work?
Smart Rooms are fitted with the latest
high-definition, bi-directional audio/visual
communication and collaboration tools so
all learners and the instructor can see and
interact with each other in the usual way.
How have the programs been
remodelled to further enrich the
remote learning experience?
CNet’s technical development team
has dedicated a huge amount of time
examining and implementing further
changes to the program delivery to
