oVirtual Classroom Training: Efficient Learning with Formation4You – The Dacia Example
In today’s world, acquiring knowledge through digital formats has become indispensable. Innovative companies like Formation4You rely on custom-developed tools to support this. A particularly successful example is the use of Virtual Classroom Trainings (VCT), as demonstrated by the Dacia dealer network in Switzerland to prepare for the launch of the new Bigster in mid-January 2025.
What is a Virtual Classroom Training?
Virtual Classroom Training (VCT) is a digital training method that enables participants to interactively join sessions from any location. With just an internet-enabled device (PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone) and a stable internet connection, participants can easily log into the virtual training. Access via an app is also seamless, even when on the move.
What makes VCT special: Unlike static webinars or recorded tutorials, participants are connected live with the trainer. This not only allows for direct questions and feedback but also enables interactive, accessible discussions and polls within the group. The flexible and location-independent setup saves travel time and costs, while offering companies a time-efficient and cost-effective solution for personnel development. This method proves especially efficient for large companies and international corporations.
The sessions themselves take place either in small studios or directly in exhibition halls at the manufacturer’s site, all equipped by Formation4You with cameras, microphones, and lighting. This creates a professional environment that offers participants a comfortable learning experience. The duration of each session varies depending on the topic, ranging from 45 to 90 minutes, and is conducted in groups of 10 to 25 participants.
Virtual Classroom Training: A Practical Example
An outstanding example of Virtual Classroom Training in practice was delivered by Formation4You in collaboration with Dacia Switzerland. In preparation for the launch of the new Bigster, 180 sales representatives from the dealer network were thoroughly prepared in mid-January. The training sessions were conducted in a total of nine units:
- 4 sessions in German
- 3 sessions in French
- 1 session in Italian
Thanks to the multilingual approach, all salespeople were trained in their native language. Special emphasis was placed on the use of video materials sourced from France, which were provided with subtitles in the respective languages. This measure ensured not only smooth delivery of the content but also high acceptance and enthusiasm among the participants.
The training content was specifically tailored to the needs of the dealer network. The goal was to comprehensively prepare participants for the launch of the new Bigster model, sharpen their sales arguments, and optimally equip them to handle customer inquiries. Thanks to the interactive approach of the Virtual Classroom Training, individual questions could be addressed directly, and specific challenges discussed.
In April, building on the Virtual Classroom Training, decentralized face-to-face training sessions took place across Switzerland.
