[BL-B-3] What Are The Differences Between BCM-300 and its Blended Learning Counterpart Course?

BCM Institute's Blended Learning Program

BL_BCM-300_Comparison Ever wondered what the difference is between BCM Institute's classroom based course and blended learning courses?

Classroom-based Onsite Training

A classroom-based course is where the participants are required to be present at a designated location and perform the face-to-face meeting with the facilitator and be taught through a full day session (between 9 am to 5 pm).

Blended Learning Training

Blended Learning is a combination between offline and online learning, with the exception of the location since participants will be taught in real-time through webinar. The class will be stretched in a longer period of time as oppose to the conventional classroom where you can complete your session within 3-days. In a blended learning class, both online and traditional teaching methods are utilized to provide a more effective learning experience for the participants.

Basically, you will have a fixed schedule where you will have to attend a part of the classes via online learning and another part allowing you do assignments with the presence of the facilitator on-screen. This course is specially designed for professionals who wishes to attend a training but facing difficulties due to work schedule and the availability to attend at a desired location.
