Become a Virtual Training Expert with our Virtual Facilitator Trainer Certification
This in-depth, four-week Virtual Facilitator Trainer Certification (VFTC) course is designed for experienced classroom trainers who want to become experts at designing and delivering engaging, highly interactive web conference training. Participants will learn all the critical skills they need to deliver the highest quality synchronous, online training using any type of web conferencing platform. As part of the program, students will learn how to use and apply interactive online tools (polling, chat, whiteboard, break-out rooms, status icons, and application sharing) and integrate them using presentation software (PowerPoint), in an interactive, facilitated, online learning course. The course is delivered through a blend of facilitated webinars and self-paced online content. Assignments, discussions, and exercises are completed each week at the NetSpeed Fast Tracks™ social media site where participants will download content and upload assignments. Synchronous web training events are held each week via an Adobe Connect Pro web conference session to demonstrate the virtual training techniques and engage learners using the interaction tools. At the end of the course, trainers will prove their virtual facilitation skills by designing and delivering a 20-minute webinar to their course colleagues.
