What Should I Consider Before Choosing a Hybrid Training?
Hybrid IFS℠ trainings combine required on-site sessions with designated live online sessions. Before registering, make sure you can participate in both parts of the training and consider the different logistics required for each format.
On-Site Participation
One or more portions of the training will take place at a designated training location.
For those sessions, consider:
- Travel to and from the training location.
- Lodging.
- Meals.
- Ground transportation.
- Other expenses associated with attending in person.
Review the individual training brochure for details about the location and what is included.
Lodging and On-Site Expenses
Lodging arrangements and costs vary by training. For some hybrid trainings, lodging may be included in the tuition or training package. For others, participants are responsible for arranging and paying for lodging separately.
Other on-site expenses, such as meals, local transportation, and travel, may also vary by training.
Review the individual training brochure carefully for details about what is included and what participants are responsible for arranging separately.
Online Participation
For the live online portions, you will need:
- A reliable internet connection.
- Appropriate technology for participating online.
- A private learning space.
- The ability to attend the complete scheduled sessions.
Automated recording, transcription, AI note-taking, or similar tools should not be active during online training sessions.
Time Zones
Pay close attention to the time zone listed for the online portions of your training.
Before registering, confirm how the training schedule translates to your local time and make sure you can attend the complete scheduled sessions.
Attendance
Both the on-site and online portions are part of the training experience.
On-site sessions must be attended in person and cannot be attended virtually unless specifically stated otherwise for that training.
Review the individual training brochure for the complete schedule, attendance requirements, and maximum allowable missed hours.
Overall Time and Cost
Hybrid training requires planning for two different learning environments.
Before registering, consider:
- Your ability to travel for the on-site portions.
- Travel and lodging expenses.
- Your availability for both on-site and online sessions.
- Your technology and private learning space for online sessions.
- The total time commitment across the entire training schedule.
