Remote Classroom courses
IES Training has the facilities to carry out many of its courses via our online tutor lead classrooms, this will reduce the need for learners to travel and their learning can now be done from the comfort of their office or within their home.
Our classroom courses will now be tutor lead and will be recorded so that the Awarding Body can quality check all aspects of the guided learning and the final exam.

In the first instance, you will need to have the video turned on so we can validate that you and your ID match, but after that stop your video this will improve your experience and improve your learning experience.
Setting up your space for live learning:
When attending an online class, you should work in a physical space that will allow you to focus on the class and participate without distracting your classmates and instructor(s).
- Work in a quiet room, with minimal background noise and distractions.
- Connect a webcam to your computer so you can share your camera if needed.
- Use a good microphone. A noise-cancelling headset is recommended – but not essential.
- Have with you, a pen and some paper to take notes.
