Live Online training is synchronous training where participants and the instructor attend remotely. Participants learn and interact with the instructor in real-time and can ask questions and receive feedback throughout the course. Instructors can remote into students’ computers (with prior permission) to assist with class exercises and any technical issues. The courses are hands-on and interactive like in-person training.

You can attend the course from your own home or office. This option works best for those without easy access to a nearby facility, and it has become increasingly popular during COVID-19.

If you attend a virtual training from your home or office, you’ll need a computer with strong internet access and any relevant software installed prior to the course. Most schools provide setup instructions before the course, and some will provide direct assistance.

The instruction takes place via a teleconferencing software like Zoom, Webex, or GoToMeeting, and some schools have their own learning portals.

Career Changer

You’re not only committed to learning Data comprehensively, but you’re hoping and ready to break into a new career. While securing a new career is not guaranteed, these courses provide in-depth training in Data. Many offer job support and some offer a money-back guarantee. Job support typically includes resume writing, help with job applications, portfolio building, and career counseling, but the services vary by provider.

Applications are typically required and many also require remote prework to build essential concepts before the more intensive “live” training. And due to the steep prices (some courses as high as $60,229) many programs provide financing options. See financing notes below but always be sure to confirm with the school and read the terms and conditions. Not all applicants are admitted and approved for financing.

Some benefits of live online Data training include:

• Flexibility to attend from anywhere and eliminate long commutes
• Ability to ask questions and interact with Data experts in real-time
• Instructor’s ability to remote access your screen to troubleshoot any issues
• More frequent scheduling options and lower prices on average than in-person training
• Hands-on practical training like in-person courses

While there are several benefits to live online training, there are a few important things to consider. You should make sure you have a quiet workplace with strong internet access. Additionally, you should have the necessary applications installed prior to class and your computer should meet any system requirements. To ensure a seamless learning experience, some schools provide remote setup support and Zoom tutorials upon request prior to the course.

Pricing for Data training varies by school, duration, method of delivery, and several other factors.

For live online training, prices range from $3/hour to $229/hr.
