Instructor led Training (ILT)
Facilitated Learning, Aligned With Your Goals
Some learning experiences are most powerful when they happen in real time. Whether in-person, online, or hybrid, The Narrative Epistles designs engaging synchronous training that brings learners together to collaborate, reflect, and practice new skills.
From Instructor-Led Training (ILT) to Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT), we create dynamic, interactive sessions that keep participants energized, focused, and aligned with your organizational goals.
What Is Synchronous Training?
Synchronous training takes place in real time with a live facilitator guiding the session. It provides opportunities for immediate feedback, peer interaction, and adaptive instruction that responds to learner needs.
It can be delivered to large audiences for shared learning experiences or to smaller groups for deeper, hands-on engagement.
We Design and Deliver:
Instructor-Led Training (ILT):
Classroom-based sessions supported by facilitator guides, slide decks, and participant workbooks.
Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT):
Live, online learning via platforms like Zoom or Microsoft Teams, featuring polls, breakout discussions, and digital collaboration.
Interactive Workshops:
Practical, hands-on sessions (virtual or in-person) designed for team building, skills application, and real-world problem-solving.

When to Use (and Not Use) Synchronous Training
Choose Synchronous Training When:
- Learner participation and engagement are critical
- Real-time discussion, reflection, or collaboration is required
- The topic benefits from expert facilitation or mentorship
- The training addresses nuanced or behavior-based skills
Synchronous Training May Not Be Ideal If:
- Learners are distributed across multiple time zones
- The content is procedural and can be self-paced
- You require scalable, repeatable training for a large global audience
