Is face to face training better than online training?

1. Engagement

• Engagement; Our sessions are designed for maximum participation and interaction, so we know your employees understand what is required.
• Instant Feedback; Participants can ask questions. In an e-learning format there's no-one to ask so it often gets skipped over and this is where risks can happen.

2. Customisation and Relevance

• Tailored Content; We use your policies and procedures to make sure the training is relevant to your organisation.
• Real World Scenarios; Our case studies are a mix of real life examples and case studies tailored to your organisation so your staff can have experience of thinking through challenges and how they would respond before it's needed in practice.

3. Improved Communication

• Non Verbal Signals; We use a variety of learning styles in our training, alongside reading body language, facial expressions and tone to assess understanding of participants and feedback concerns.
• Dialogue and Discourse; Face to face training enables group conversations to take place where learners can exchange experiences and learn from each other.

4. Boosting Confidence

• Supportive Setting; Participants can voice concerns and address topics in a comforting environment, safeguarding can be a scary subject matter and we want people to leave our training well equipped.
• Practical Experience; Engaging in role-play and hands-on exercises can boost confidence when dealing with safeguarding scenarios.

5. Concentration and Responsibility

• Reduced Distractions; In person training sessions minimise distractions, in online environments allowing for better focus and attention.
• Active Engagement; Face to face training encourages involvement making it more challenging for participants to lose interest or juggle tasks.

6. Building Team Connections

• Peer Collaboration; Group training sessions promote team unity and facilitate peer to peer learning and support.
• Shared Knowledge; Participating in learning ensures that everyone is aligned on safeguarding protocols and practices.

7. Evaluation and Monitoring

• Real Time Assessment; Trainers can gauge comprehension levels and skill development instantly adjusting the session as needed.
• Feedback Mechanism; Immediate feedback from participants enables trainers to enhance the training experience.

8. Enhancing Learning Retention

• Interactive Practices; Hands on activities and interactive discussions reinforce learning increasing the likelihood of participants retaining information for application.
• Varied Teaching Approaches; Utilising teaching methods like discussions, group activities and role playing caters to learning preferences during face, to face training sessions.

9. Adaptability

• Flexibility, in Approach; Trainers have the ability to adjust the content and delivery methods based on the groups dynamics and feedback leading to an learning journey.
• Real life Scenarios; Trainers can share examples that resonate with the audience making the learning experience more relatable and understandable.

10 Trust and Relationship Development

• Building Personal Bonds; Establishing a connection with the trainer can build trust. Encourage participants to engage deeply with the material.
• Professional Connections; In person sessions offer chances for networking with trainers and peers nurturing relationships.
