Same interactive and highly engaging training experience

We have transformed our 2-Day in-person training to a 4 Half-Day virtual training. Each training session includes hands-on activities, real-life practice exercises, testing and fun. We understand that on-line training and working from home is different.  Unlike any other training program, Masters Method is designed by education professionals to actively engage, prevent burnout and on-line fatigue.

Virtual Training Platform

We utilize Zoom Conferencing software for an intimate and interactive training session, using both video and audio.  Students will utilize Zoom Chat features for immediate questions and Zoom Breakout Rooms for many fun team/group activities.

Real Hands-On Learning with Real Hands-on Material

Prior to each training, all students will receive a special Masters Method "Training Activity & Materials Box” sent to their home or office address the week prior to the training. Each Day Students will engage in Activities that require the use of webcam, a microphone, and headphones. Please ensure your laptop/ computer has the right accessories so that you can fully engage in the training. 

Training Schedule

All Trainings are scheduled Tuesday through Friday. Each live training session will begin at 8:00am PST and finish at about 12:00pm PST. There will be one 20-minute break during each session. Each day will include various activities, group break-out sessions, testing and other fun surprises.
