Traditional Classroom Training Development

Even with the arrival of modern training technologies, Instructor-Led Training remains a vital part of successful learning initiatives. Traditional classroom training offers things that other learning modalities cannot. ILT has a face-to-face element that allows learners to ask questions, encourages brainstorming and role-playing with other learners, and provides an immersive experience with the content or programs being taught. It also reduces outside distractions – enabling learners to focus on the learning experience.

The Instructor is One Vital Component of ILT. For the Rest, Trust Origin.

Origin has been building Traditional Classroom Training programs for decades. Our work in this area helps clients prepare learners for product launches, sales initiatives, software rollouts, certifications, and more.

Our ILT Materials Include:

Virtual Classroom Development

For many companies, maintaining a bench of competent trainers versed in every subject and able to travel to numerous training sites has been an economic and logistical challenge. With the use of video-conferencing tools and webinars, Virtual Instructor-Led Training (vILT) solves this problem. vILT enables your SMEs and expert trainers to reach a larger audience, regardless of their location.

Origin’s Corporate vILT Programs Save Time and Money.

Origin’s team of 350+ instructional designers has developed over 8,000 hours of training content across all verticals. We’ve helped countless clients convert traditional classroom training programs to digital assets — ensuring learners have access to consistent, quality training wherever they are.

Blended Learning Development

Blended learning combines the advantages of Instructor-led Training and eLearning to produce more effective training experiences than either an ILT or eLearning program could on its own. Using a blended approach, learners benefit from in-person instruction with the flexibility and accessibility of eLearning materials to learn at their own pace.
