Frequently asked questions
What is classroom training?
Classroom training is instructor-led learning that happens in person, with a trainer and a group of participants in the same room. It allows live discussion, practice and immediate feedback. In corporate settings it usually runs for one to three days, often at the client's own premises or a venue they choose.
What are the advantages of classroom training over online training?
Classroom training offers fewer distractions, richer interaction and easier practice of behavioural skills like negotiation or presenting. Trainers can read the room and adjust. Online training wins on reach, flexibility and cost of travel. Many organisations combine the two in a blended design, using classroom time for practice and online time for knowledge.
How long should a corporate classroom training be?
Most behavioural programs run one or two days. Complex topics or leadership programs may run longer, often split into modules spaced a few weeks apart so people can apply learning in between. Bodhih recommends a duration after the needs analysis and customises the agenda to fit your team's schedule. Spacing modules also makes it easier to release people from work.
Can Bodhih run classroom training at our office?
Yes. Most classroom programs run at the client's office or a venue the client arranges. Bodhih's trainers travel from Bengaluru to locations in India and across the Middle East, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Africa. Bodhih does not have local offices outside Bengaluru. In-person delivery is at your premises or a venue you arrange.
How do you make classroom training effective?
Effective classroom training starts before the day, with clear objectives agreed with managers. During the session, short inputs are followed by practice and debriefs rather than long lectures. After it, action plans, manager check-ins and assessments reinforce the learning. Bodhih builds all three stages into its ADDIE-based design.
Who is the Classroom Training program for?

Can Classroom Training be delivered online?

How is the impact of Classroom Training measured?
Success measures for Classroom Training are agreed with you before design, as part of the ADDIE model. Bodhih can add pre- and post-program assessments on AssessAll and manager check-ins to track behaviour change.
