Instructor Led Training (ILT)

Facilitated Learning, Aligned With Your Goals

Some training programs work best in real time. Whether it’s in-person, in a virtual classroom, or hybrid, AligneDesigns creates engaging synchronous training experiences that bring people together—fostering conversation, learner engagement, hands-on experiences, and connection.

From Instructor Led Training (ILT) workshops to Virtual-led training (VLT), we design interactive learning environments that keep participants energized and outcomes aligned with your goals.

What is Synchronous Training?

Synchronous training happens in real-time, with a live facilitator guiding the training session. It offers opportunities for immediate feedback, real-time interaction, and adaptive instruction based on learner needs. It can also accommodate a large group of learners or smaller groups with hands-on activities.

When to Use (and Not Use) Synchronous Training

Choose synchronous training when:

  • Engagement and participation are key
  • Learners benefit from group dialogue and real-time facilitation
  • The content takes into account the needs of learners and requires discussion, reflection, or customization
  • An expert instructor, industry expert, or subject matter expert is required to play an important role
people engaging and participating in a live training solution

It may not be the best fit if:

  • Learners are highly dispersed across time zones and struggle to attend live sessions
  • The content is highly procedural where step-by-step guides are available and can be delivered as self-paced training
  • You need scalable, repeatable training for a wide audience
people spread over time zones and across the world

In those cases, training options such as eLearning or a blended learning strategy may be a better solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you deliver the training content for instructor led classes or virtual training, or just design it?

We can do both! We offer end-to-end solutions including curriculum design, facilitator guides, slide decks, participant materials—and if needed, we can act as training partners by onboarding your facilitators to the training design or co-facilitate ILT sessions with your team.

Can you convert our existing instructor led courses into virtual or hybrid formats?

Yes. We specialize in transforming ILT into Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) while preserving interactivity and outcomes. We also design workshops with flexibility for both in-person and remote participation using the video-conferencing tool of your choosing. We can also flip your ILT or virtual ILT to eLearning.

What online tools do you use for virtual delivery?

We work with whatever platforms your team is using—Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, WebEx—and can also help you evaluate and optimize your setup using best practices for better learning experiences.

How do you ensure workshops are engaging and not just another video call?

We use tools like breakout rooms to create small group settings, polls, digital whiteboards, and collaborative documents to keep participants engaged and to enhance the learning process. Plus, we focus on instructional strategies that promote reflection, participation, and hands-on learning—not passive consumption.
