Course FAQs

We have a maximum number of participants on each course, which is usually 12. However some courses have a maximum of 6 or 8 participants due to the very nature of the content – Presentation Skills for example. The sessions are interactive and learner-centred, so it’s important to have enough people to create intelligent discussions, but not so many that we lose the interactivity and it becomes a ‘lecture’.

No, our courses are not a video feed or a one-way presentation where the delegates are an afterthought. Live online with Sterling is ‘on-air’ training with a real trainer interacting with remote learners. It’s a highly interactive professional development experience where participants work in groups and pairs, can view trainer slides and video, use whiteboards, etc.

Our focus is on implementation. So, for most courses we expect participants to take away tools and techniques and try them between sessions, reporting back to the group the following week. We may ask them to complete a reflective journal or a specific task that will be covered in the next session.

Our Upcoming Courses have a start and end date and these are fixed, as delegates from other organisations will be joining the course. However if you want a course specifically for your business, please let us know and we’ll be very happy to help.

The price includes the live online sessions detailed in the course information, copies of relevant materials and a certificate. Participants will also receive a course pack which includes a notebook, pen and a mug, along with tea, coffee, biscuits and sweets.

We record all of our live online courses and upload them in a private format to YouTube. We send the link out to the participants after the session finishes, so those attending can catch up.
