Checklist of 5 Key Items for a Successful Virtual Training Session

In virtual training, who doesn’t love a list?
 
There is something incredibly satisfying about crossing things off a list, or putting a nice, neat tick next to it if that is more your thing.

A friend recently told me that he purposefully puts items on his to-do list that are really simple so that he can get the pleasure of marking them as complete really quickly; it brings him a sense of achievement which motivates him further as his list shrinks easily.

When preparing to deliver a successful virtual training workshop, a checklist is useful to ensure nothing is forgotten.
Here’s 5 items that are vital to excel as a virtual trainer.




Have Pre-communications
It’s important that your participants are prepared for your virtual training session.

Do they know what the topic is and why they are attending it? Do the participants have clear instructions as to when the session(s) are and how they join? Are there any expectations you have of them, such as pre-reading or a short exercise, or that they need to have their cameras on?

Our coaches often record a short video for the participants to introduce themselves and share any information that would be helpful. Prepared participants makes for a better experience for the trainer too.

Create a Coach pack
Do you have everything you need as a coach, trainer, or facilitator? We recommend creating a coach pack for you to keep everything you need. Think about including the following:

•    Dates & Times
•    Platform & Links
•    Slide deck for delivery
•    Documents to be shared with participants
•    Contact details of client
•    Participant list including job title, country & time zone
•    A feedback form/survey link
•    Briefing document (see next point)
