2. How do I know if instructor-led training method is right for me?

Instructor-led training is a good fit if you:

  • Prefer lessons delivered live by an instructor.
  • Want a traditional or virtual classroom experience with peers.
  • Can set aside dedicated time for the course.

3. Can I freely combine in-person and virtual attendance during one hybrid course delivery?

When enrolling in a hybrid course, you are required to select either in-person or virtual attendance for the full duration of the course. Changing between the two formats is not permitted under normal circumstances. 

However, in exceptional cases — such as illness or unexpected travel restrictions — a change may be considered. To request it, please contact our Product Learning Support team by submitting a case under the category “Learning and Certification Advice.” We recommend doing so prior to your next scheduled training session. 

Note

In a hybrid course, all participants attend the same session simultaneously, either in person or remotely. More information available here.
