Don’t just take our word for it—instructor-led training delivers unique benefits that digital learning simply can’t replicate.

It’s all about the human touch

ILT thrives on real-time interaction. Learners get instant clarification on complex topics, receive personalized feedback from experts, and engage in discussions that boost understanding and retention.

A slide from the Facilitating Change case study

A client’s Six Sigma Green Belt training was plagued by outdated materials and inconsistent delivery, undermining its effectiveness and professional appeal. We transformed the training with a complete redesign, including comprehensive Instructor and Participant Guides.

The result? Boosted participant engagement, increased customer registrations, and elevated training program reputation and success.

We love answering questions about instructor-led training!

What is ILT and VILT?

ILT, or Instructor-Led Training, is a training delivery method where an expert instructor guides a group of learners through a structured curriculum.  It thrives on face-to-face interaction, whether in a traditional classroom setting or virtually through VILT (Virtual Instructor-Led Training). VILT leverages technology like video conferencing and online platforms to deliver that same engaging experience remotely, breaking down geographical barriers without sacrificing connection.

How do you make instructor-led training more interactive?

Ditch the lectures and yawn-inducing slide decks! At ThinkingKap, we design our ILT training programs to be highly interactive. We incorporate adult learning principles, group activities, simulations, real-world case studies, and hands-on exercises to keep participants actively engaged, deepen their understanding, and boost knowledge retention.

How do you customize ILT programs for different industries or job roles?

We don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach.  We work closely with your team to understand your unique needs, goals, and target audience. This collaborative approach ensures that every element of the training is custom-tailored for maximum impact within your specific context.

What kind of results can I expect from ThinkingKap’s ILT programs?

We’re not just about checking boxes – we’re about driving measurable results. Our instructor-led training for business programs are designed to improve knowledge retention, enhance skills application, and support tangible behavior change on the job, leading to increased productivity, improved performance, and a stronger bottom line.

Wait, isn’t instructor-led training, like, so last century?

While we love a good eLearning makeover as much as anyone, we know that sometimes, nothing beats the power of human connection. Instructor-led training is alive and well, especially when delivered with a modern twist!

What is instructor-led training?

Think of it as learning with a pulse! Instructor-led training (ILT) is where knowledge transfer meets human connection. It’s all about an expert instructor guiding a group of eager learners through a carefully crafted curriculum – think dynamic discussions, “aha!” moments, and those lightbulb-over-the-head breakthroughs.  It beats passively clicking through slides any day.  This type of training thrives on real-time interaction, whether it’s face-to-face in a traditional setting or virtually through the magic of VILT (Virtual Instructor-Led Training).

Hold up—ILT?  vILT?  Is this some kind of club I missed the memo on?

No need to break out the dictionaries!  ILT is just shorthand for Instructor-Led Training, the kind that happens in person or in a virtual classroom (that’s the “V” in vILT).  Either way, you get a real, live human guiding the experience.

How would you compare instructor-led training vs. eLearning?

Ah, instructor-led training vs. eLearning, the classic face-off! Look, both instructor-led training and eLearning have their strengths.  Think of eLearning like self-guided exploration—great for learning at your own pace and covering foundational knowledge. But ILT? It’s all about igniting that human spark!

How do you make instructor-led training actually interactive?  (We’ve all suffered through those sleepy lectures…)

We feel you—boring training is a crime against learning! Our sessions are anything but dull. Think group activities, hands-on exercises, thought-provoking discussions, and maybe even a friendly competition or two (prizes not included, but we’re open to suggestions!).

What are the benefits of Instructor-Led Training vs. eLearning? Give it to me straight!

Both have their perks!  ILT excels at fostering collaboration, providing real-time feedback, and building team spirit. Plus, that human touch can make all the difference in creating a more engaging and personalized learning experience.

My team is pretty diverse. How do you customize ILT training programs for different industries or job roles?

One-size-fits-all training?  No, thanks!  We tailor every program to your unique needs, industry, and even job roles within your organization. Think of us as training tailors—creating the perfect fit for a flawless learning experience!

What topics can ThinkingKap provide instructor-led training on?
