Virtual Training Academy

Bringing the classroom to you. Our virtual courses are designed to simulate the traditional learning experience by bringing you and your peers together in a virtual classroom, led by our live trainers.

Why choose Virtual Live Training from UKAS Academy?
  • Our training is hosted on the industry-leading platform for virtual learning to provide the closest simulation to the classroom environment.
  • All learners have the opportunity to collaborate with each other and the tutors, express opinions and ask questions, all in real time.
  • We know how important practical sessions are for the learning experience of our delegates, so group work, exercises and roleplays still form a major part of our virtual training.
  • Our tutors, drawn from UKAS’ own in-house expert, will share their in-depth knowledge and experience with a limited group of learners, ensuring you get the right level of attention throughout your course.

Before you book a virtual course, please ensure you meet our minimum requirements.

For the majority of courses, delegates will need an internet-connected computer or laptop plus headphones with a microphone. A USB headset is best, but any Bluetooth or mobile headphones with a microphone will allow you to interact with the classroom. Broadband internet connection is preferable.

Software including MS Office programmes, Adobe PDF and online sharing programmes such as Google Docs or Microsoft SharePoint are frequently used throughout our virtual courses.

For additional course materials delivered, it will be helpful to have an additional screen, such as a computer monitor or TV screen (to which you can connect via an HDMI cable).

Any additional requirements, and pre-course work information, will be detailed in the joining instructions sent after a booking has been confirmed.
