What customers are saying about the Virtual Facilitator Trainer Certification course
Thank you for such valuable, practical training. After completing the program, I am confident that I can design and deliver a highly interactive, collaborative virtual training program running from 20 minutes to 20 hours. I know exactly how to repurpose my classroom programs.
Although I am a veteran trainer, your program engaged me completely. It is a perfect model of excellent virtual facilitation. In addition to learning the skills and techniques, I observed them in action. Your program has proven to me how engaging and effective virtual training can be, and I can’t wait to create and deliver my own training.

The Netspeed Virtual Facilitator Trainer Certification Course provides webinar facilitators with practical knowledge and skill application in a supportive, interactive learning environment. As someone who was skeptical about webinar training, I am now a firm believer and more importantly, I have the skills and the confidence to deliver effective webinar training.
- Mary Ann Kmetyk, Applied Performance Strategies, Inc.
I've been in training & development for 20 years focused on leadership development. Over the years, I've been involved with various distance learning tools, though nothing that I thought worked well for leadership development, until now.
The NetSpeed Virtual Facilitator Certification course gave me the skills & confidence to develop and lead virtual classes using web conferencing tools. Posting to the classroom blog gave me the opportunity to interact and share ideas with other training professionals in the course. The course was highly interactive allowing me to engage with and learn from not only the excellent master trainer but also other participants. The Virtual Facilitator course includes both technical comfort with the tools and facilitation skills. It was an outstanding learning experience.
- Katharine Wismer, Independent Training & Development Professional - Leadership Development & Instructional Design
NetSpeed Learning’s Virtual Facilitator Trainer Certification course was a well balanced blend of synchronous training using Adobe Connect Pro webinars and asynchronous training assignments through their NetSpeed Fast Tracks curriculum. Assignments helped prepare for the upcoming webinar, the webinar expanded on those concepts and the class members continued to build skills as we continued through the course. Use of the class blog and the interactions during the webinars allowed the participants to fully engage and feel as though we were contributing our experience as we were developing more expertise. The collaborative nature of this course is a great example of best practices in e-learning. Kudos and thanks to the NetSpeed Learning team for a great class and all the new additions to my virtual learning toolbox!
- Mary Heim, Producer — Cimira Studios-Web Video and Webinar Production Solutions
Thanks for a truly incredible learning experience. I was at times overwhelmed by the task - and there were times I thought my brain would explode if I put one more thing in there - but I thoroughly enjoyed the journey.
- Mary Harter, National Training Specialist, USTA
As a seasoned trainer and facilitator for more than 25 years, my own training and development has always been in a live classroom setting. The VFTC training was a wonderful opportunity for me and my team to keep in tune with the changing learning landscape by developing skills to keep our organization, and ourselves, professionally competitive. I loved the training process: it was engaging, challenging and results-oriented. Using the new technology and techniques, Cynthia Clay provided support as she introduced us to new skills and challenged us with timely assignments and information. The hands-on “train-back” experience was outstanding and I truly enjoyed it. I realized that I learned tremendous amounts of new knowledge and skills which are already being applied in my work. Thanks to NetSpeed Learning Solutions, Cynthia and her team, for a well-designed and well-executed process!
- Chris Gatti, Independent Training & Consulting Business Owner
I really enjoyed participating on this training. I am walking away with so many good experiences. I learned so many techniques that I can apply in my webinars. My office is moving towards virtual classroom and I feel that I am ready to begin as a Virtual Facilitator. I still need to practice and find my own personal style. But now I have tools and resources that will help me succeed. I know more about virtual classroom platforms, software, design and delivery. I can apply all this knowledge in my every day work.
- Veronica Zabala, Senior Training Specialist, USDA/APHIS
I am excited to use all of my new tools to successful repurpose all of my webinar training opportunities to ensure learning transfer that is timely and measurable. Having the opportunity to see how all of you used the webinar tools provided me with so many more ideas and best practices.
- Tonya Perpich, Independent Learning & Development Consultant
The Virtual Facilitator Course was taught in a way that modeled excellent virtual training. Through repurposing content, interaction opportunities occurred frequently that enhanced the engagement and learning. The team at NetSpeed Learning taught this course in such a way as to allow for a deeper understanding of what works in this sometimes tricky learning environment. I have worked as a project manager producing webinars for Microsoft employees and now have my own company and this course definitely gave me more solid ideas to add to my list on audience engagement!
- Jane Thomas- Producer, Cimira Studios-Web Video and Webinar Production Solutions
I've very much enjoyed the course, and I really have learned so many useful things. I am amazed at how much I learned, and I am equally amazed at how much I am looking forward to learning more about this topic on my own. Part of my amazement is that I'm really not a techno kind of person at all. But these tools are really quite easy to use, very intuitive and really built with learning in mind. And that, I can relate to!
- Carole Borque, Project Manager, University of Ottawa
I am so very thankful and appreciative for the opportunity to take this course with NetSpeed Learning Solutions! It was truly one of my favorite learning experiences of my entire career. I truly consider the VFTC course as opening many more opportunities for positive impact in my role and my career. I love how it builds on my passion for instructional design as well. I can’t wait to add a whole new layer to our blended learning approach to management development.
