Virtual Training

Live Online Instruction with Instron Experts

Virtual training connects you with an Instron instructor for live, highly-interactive training sessions designed to simulate the traditional classroom learning experience without having to leave your home or office.

Just like a typical in-person class, our instructors will guide you through critical learning objectives where you will be able to see and hear your instructor, asks questions and hear questions from other students, receive hands-on training time with the software, and have the option of sharing your screen with the instructor.

Class Sizes for virtual training have no minimum and are guaranteed to run, even if you are the only student enrolled. Larger class sizes may be broken up into separate sessions to ensure a lower student-teacher ratio.
