Viridis' in-house instructional design team can develop a bespoke training program to meet your stated objectives with relevant examples from your industry and using language your staff will understand.
Sessions are developed either to be delivered by one of Viridis' experienced instructors or your own H&S or HR personnel.
Development of eLearning tools and blended learning solutions (e.g. classroom based training top'n'tailed with eLearning) is also available with development being carried out in-house by Viridis' instructional design team.
Below are a few examples of training sessions our instructional designers have been engaged to develop. In most cases Viridis was also retained to deliver the sessions to client staff and managers.
