CNet Training ’ s President and CEO , Andrew Stevens , discusses the benefits of CNet Training ’ s Live instructor-led Remote Attendance capability .

Over the last four years , as an organisation , CNet has introduced program delivery via ‘ Remote Attendance ’. We initially anticipated this would be driven by the global need for us all to operate in a more sustainable and environmentally sensitive way but what we didn ’ t expect was COVID-19 . Looking at it positively , though , it is fortunate that we , as an organisation , were already ‘ geared up ’ to continue delivering programs once everything was suddenly shut down and global travel restrictions put in place . With large proportions of the globe still working at least partially remotely and with international travel still limited , all of us are having to adapt to the ‘ new normal ’; finding new ways to continue working and staying connected to friends , colleagues and the wider world .

Our Remote Attendance programs allow people all over the globe to continue learning , developing and educating their digital infrastructure teams , which is absolutely vital for the industry right now . The industry is facing increased demands and organisations need to ensure that everyone in their team is competent and confident in their skills and knowledge to ensure the world can keep connected and communicating during these times .

Remote Attendance

For the last four years we have been delivering programs via live instructorled Remote Attendance classes . So , you could say that our Remote Attendance delivery has been tried and tested over the last four years , allowing learners to feel 100 % confident that their learning experience will be professional , effective and of the highest quality .

It ’ s important to note that not all remote learning programs are the same and that there are various forms of remote attendance learning available , especially since the start of the pandemic . Some provide details to join an online meeting that allows you to see and hear an instructor or teacher . Others are more sophisticated and will enable you to

join a place-based classroom with other learners sitting in the actual room . CNet ’ s Remote Attendance capability is different and stands out from others .

Using the latest collaboration-enabled facilities , CNet provides those wishing to attend a program 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 breakout room ,
