The Your Preferences for Training (Virtual Training Room) package provides a powerful set of resources to enable a trainer to develop and deliver a virtual training session (webinar) that is in tune with the learning style preferences of each participant and takes full advantage of the functionality of the online training room.

Having completed the Your Preferences Test and reviewed the resulting reports and analysis, the trainer or session facilitator will:

• understand first what they're like in a face-to-face training room and then what that will mean for them in a virtual training session
• recognise how they might come across to their participants in the virtual training room and what the set-up and presentation of their training is like
• know how they might overcome some of the typical challenges encountered when delivering a virtual training session
• appreciate how each of their participants prefers to learn and what they as the trainer should do to flex their own preferred delivery style to create the perfect conditions for learning for everyone present

Each participant will also have a good understanding of their own preferred learning style and how, in particular, they can get the most from their active participation in the virtual training session, together with other valuable information about their overall behavioural preferences that they can apply in other areas of their working or personal lives.

The Trainer Report:

• states the advantages of virtual classrooms, alongside some of the key challenges when using them
• provides a brief introduction to behavioural type theory
• describes and analyses the trainer's own preferred training delivery style
• highlights the trainer's strengths, possible blind spots and provides tips for overcoming these in the virtual training room
• gives guidance for overcoming the typical challenges that are particular to the virtual training room

The Virtual Training Group Analysis:

• presents the trainer with the learning styles preferences of each participant in that session and their likely behaviours during the training
• analyses the overall behavioural patterns of the group and shows ways of tailoring the training to reflect the different personality types present, including suggested activities and techniques to use, including specific reference to some of the more common webinar/web-conferencing system tools

The Trainee Report:

• provides an overview of their own personality type preference
• highlights their learning strengths
• points out things that they should work on and gives suggestions for activities they should try to help them develop, with the focus on their participation in a virtual training room
