Live Online
What is Live Online learning?
Live Online is an increasingly popular delivery model available for some of our training programmes. It involves attending scheduled online lessons, held in a virtual classroom in real-time, and is supported by guidance from a dedicated tutor. For some of our courses, this is combined with employment or volunteering in a suitable workplace.
Live Online combines the best of traditional and online learning, by offering the structure of a traditional classroom but with the added flexibility of studying remotely. During virtual lectures, you can participate in a diverse range of learning and assessment activities including live chat, group chat and breakout room activities. You can collaborate with your lecturer and peers using an interactive whiteboard, as well as take part in polls and Q&A sessions to test your knowledge throughout the lesson.
Virtual classroom sessions are recorded and available to view at any time, so if you miss a lesson you can catch up, or you can watch your lessons again to support revision and consolidation of learning. Live Online also comes with access to our advanced Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), which hosts additional learning resources and features to help you keep track of your studies, available at any time of the day or night. As well as accessing your course materials, you will be able to utilise wellbeing tools, study resources and an eLibrary.

Who is Live Online for?
Live Online is ideal for those who like a structured schedule of live lessons and tutor support, but are unable to attend a CAW training centre. This could be due to travel constraints, family commitments, or being abroad.
