What is the difference between an Online Classroom Training and a LIVE Webcast?

The major difference between a Classroom Training session and our Webcasts lies in their objectives.

  • The aim of the Classroom Training session is to improve your personal performance
    • These are small group sessions focused on individual and group feedback
    • They are collaborative, workshop style
    • Often it is called a simulation because the trainer will ask each participant EPSO-style interview questions
    • For many of these, the trainer will record the participant's response which is a useful tool to prepare for EPSO exams
       
  • Webcasts are less personal given their nature. 
    • It is usually a very large group of people (we've had over 500 people at once)
    • If you participate in a live webcast, you can ask questions from the presenter directly through the chat box
    • Webinars and webcasts are recorded so you can watch them as many times as you wish. (difference between webinars and webcasts here)

For both the classroom training session and the webinars you receive background materials and a lots of good advice about EPSO exams.

As you can see both preparation tools are extremely useful, however, the way they achieve their objectives are different.
