Demonstrating the real value of online training: What has worked for RICS

Topics

Gaelle launched the RICS live online training four years ago. One of the ongoing challenges has been the perceived value of online CPD with stakeholders and participants. There is a preconceived idea that it is the low performing 'budget option' for companies who cannot afford the “real stuff”, the session will first show how live online training can be as up-skilling, interactive and social as a classroom workshop. We will then identify the key factors of the misconception and look at the different solutions to bridge the gap without impacting on the marketing and communication budget.
