Virtual Training Delivery and Webinar Facilitation: Hybrid Sessions and Producer Skills – Dubai, 30 Nov – 4 Dec 2026

Programme overview

Introduction:

Virtual training delivery often fails for predictable reasons: classroom slides are pushed through a webcam, attendees multitask behind muted cameras, audio drops mid-session and nobody knows who is watching the chat. Hybrid rooms add a second problem, as remote attendees become spectators. This Core Concept course prepares trainers and facilitators to run webinars, virtual classrooms and hybrid sessions that keep people participating, using polls, breakout rooms, whiteboards and chat with a producer at their side. Participants leave with a 90-Minute Live Online Session Kit they have delivered in a timed rehearsal.

Course Objectives:

• Select the live online format, webinar, virtual classroom or hybrid session, that fits each learning goal and group size
• Rework classroom material into timed online segments with an interaction planned every few minutes
• Run polls, breakout rooms, shared whiteboards, chat and reactions confidently while presenting
• Project clear voice and on-camera presence and co-deliver with a producer or moderator
• Recover from audio, video, connectivity and platform failures without losing the group
• Evaluate live online sessions with attendance, participation and poll data and act on the findings

Target Audience:

• Internal trainers who move instructor-led programmes into live online delivery
• Facilitators who run workshops, briefings and team sessions for dispersed participants
• Learning coordinators who schedule, host and support webinars and virtual classes
• Subject experts who present knowledge-sharing webinars to colleagues, clients or partners
• Training support staff who act as producers or moderators in live online sessions

• Stay composed when audio, video or the platform fails in front of a live group
• Compare online delivery habits with trainers and facilitators from other sectors and organisations

Conclusion:

Live online learning succeeds when format, content, facilitation and technology are planned together. The week moves from choosing between webinar, virtual classroom and hybrid formats, through converting classroom material and mapping interactions, to voice, camera presence and working with a producer, then to hybrid rooms, technical contingencies, accessibility and attendance analytics. The final day is a timed simulation in which each participant delivers their 90-Minute Live Online Session Kit, handles injected failures and records improvements for the next session.
