DAS Hybrid Training
Find out what is DAS Hybrid Training and some of the benefits of it.
DAS Hybrid Training Explained
DAS Hybrid Training is a seamless classroom experience that plays out both physically and remotely. This means that some participants may be attending the course in-person at one of our classrooms while others will be joining remotely through video conferencing software (such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom).
These training sessions are synchronous, meaning the in-person and remote participants are subject to the same training materials at the same time.

Hybrid training enables facilitators to be able to train both participants in-person and participants remotely at the same time.
