FAQ
UnionWare provides both Small Group and Seminar style virtual classroom options.
Small Group training provides a live UnionWare instructor that allows for an intimate and interactive session where colleagues may collaborate with each other and pose real-time questions to the instructor. This type of training is geared toward organizations with post-implementation new hires and administrators, existing staff requiring refresher training, “Train-the-Trainer” programs, and students who require more individualized attention. Up to five students may attend a Small Group course.
Seminars are taught by a live instructor in a “one-way” lecture style without interruption during the course. New clients in implementation typically receive Seminar style training as part of your implementation program. Seminars suit new clients that do not have their own training staff or would like to train staff new to UnionWare at once. On rare occasions, we may offer a seminar style for post-implementation clients.
- Virtual classroom courses are facilitator-led programs delivered via a virtual platform. Small Group training includes up to 5 students and is a two-way interactive session, allowing for questions and participation in real time.
