The power of live training
Live training is the heart of how we help people learn.
In the age of digitisation, there are countless ways to gain knowledge. Online courses, webinars, e-books – the list goes on.
But even as the world becomes increasingly interconnected through technology, there remains a method of learning that stands head and shoulders above the rest: live training sessions. And it's precisely this method that we’re committed to perfecting. Here are the key advantages of live training:
1. The immediacy of interaction
One of the fundamental advantages of live training is the immediacy of interaction it offers. Whether it's an in-person workshop or a virtual session on Zoom, real-time engagement allows participants to ask questions, seek clarifications, and dive deeper into topics. This interactive dynamic fosters a rich learning environment that's hard to replicate in pre-recorded formats. Meanwhile
2. Tailored content, in real-time
With live sessions, trainers can gauge the room's energy, understanding, and interest levels. They can adjust their delivery on-the-fly, ensuring the content remains relevant and engaging. In contrast, static online courses don't have this flexibility – if someone gets lost, they just log off.
“Our trainer, Flora, is excellent - I have had other training sessions with her before and she always is so personal, and tailors her questioning to the different people in the group. I was also impressed that she had remembered my own personal circumstances and has given all of us helpful strategies of how to effectively network. I can’t praise her enough!”
3. Building meaningful connections, together
Live training sessions provide an opportunity for participants to network with their peers. These interactions can lead to invaluable professional relationships, collaborations, and even friendships. It's not just about the content; it's about the community.
Just look at the words people use to describe our live training sessions:

4. The engaging force of collective energy
There's an undeniable energy in a room (or virtual room) full of individuals committed to learning and growth. This collective enthusiasm can drive deeper engagement, more profound insights, and a heightened sense of purpose.
5. Commitment and shared accountability
Attending a live session, whether in-person or online, requires a certain level of commitment. It's a conscious decision to set aside time and immerse oneself in the learning experience. This commitment often translates to higher retention rates and a more profound understanding of the material.
As a learning development professional, providing live training also sends a clear message that learning is a real priority for your organisation. You’re blocking out time for deep and focused engagement, rather than expecting employees to ‘squeeze in’ e-learning ‘if they get the chance.’
6. Expert feedback on the spot
At BiteSize Learning, our trainers are not just facilitators; they're experts in their respective fields. Live sessions offer participants the unique opportunity to receive immediate feedback, guidance, and mentoring from these experts.
While there's no denying the convenience of on-demand learning in the L&D mix, we’ve always believed in the unparalleled power of live training sessions. Our tailored programmes, ranging from management and leadership to diversity & inclusion, are designed to deliver impactful insights in an engaging, interactive format. For businesses seeking to provide their teams with a genuine benefit in working together, live training isn't just an option; it's the gold standard.
As we navigate an ever-changing professional landscape, the tools we choose for growth and development play a crucial role. Live training sessions, with their dynamism, interactivity, and immediacy, stand out as a beacon of effective learning. And at BiteSize Learning, we're proud to be at the forefront of this proven approach.
