Depending on the nature of the learner and organizational need, the optimal learning approach may include in-person and/or virtual instructor-led training (ILT/VILT). It may be combined in a hybrid solution with eLearning and other learning modalities. When part of a personalized plan or learner experience journey, instructor-led training (ILT) can help to foster cohort relationships, provide realistic practice of interpersonal skills, or engage learners in project-based or other reinforcement activities.
Our award-winning ILT solutions include workshops where aspiring managers run their own retail business, leader-led sessions where key executives personally connect with learner cohorts, and flipped-classroom sessions with facilitated Q&A. Such training can prompt learners to think critically and challenge what they are learning. We develop ILT across a range of industries—healthcare, manufacturing, finance, and high tech—to meet critical business needs for onboarding, compliance, leadership, sales enablement, and skills development.

The Benefits of Instructor-Led Training
Instructor-led training (ILT), virtual instructor-led training (vILT), or blended learning (combination ILT or vILT with web-based training) offer significant advantages through a personalized and interactive learning approach, providing real-time interaction with instructors for immediate feedback and tailored guidance. AllenComm designs and develops ILT courses that facilitate practical application of concepts and skills through real-world scenarios and exercises, ensuring learners can directly apply their new skills and knowledge in their roles. Additionally, we offer train-the-trainer options to ensure facilitators and instructors are prepared with applicable skills to facilitate effectively.
