What can I expect from Virtual Learning?

Our Virtual Learning courses give delegates the opportunity to learn from the comfort of their own home whilst still getting all the tuition they would in the classroom. 

This is training online but not to be mistaken for E-learning. Our training is delivered in real time by one of our electrical tutors using video conferencing software that gives delegates the opportunity to watch and listen to the tutor, follow the presentation live and interact and ask any questions they may have.

There are scheduled course dates with set start and end times, and short breaks throughout the sessions. This differs to E-Learning where courses are pre-recorded and you can join at any time. 

Our virtual learning can be accessed via a PC, laptop or tablet. When you make a booking, we’ll then send you your joining instructions with the link to access the training – it really is that simple.

What information do I need to provide?

To ensure our virtual courses run as smooth as possible, we require the following:

  • Delegate Name, Email Address and Contact Number
  • Postal Address for the course pack, containing course notes and any purchased publications

We ask for this information no later than 2 weeks before the course start date. If no information is received, the email invite and course pack will be sent to the booker and company address provided. 

How do I take the exam?

Once you have completed the virtual training course, you will then be directed to the BCIA assessments portal and given a unique keycode to complete the exam immediately after the course. This gives delegates greater flexibility and removes the need to travel to one of our training centres, saving you time and money. 

Please note, to gain the BCIA Technical Certificate after completing courses BCM00 – BCM03, you will be required to sit a separate exam via the ECS Remote Invigilation Service. There is no additional cost for the exam, and it is administered by the BCIA Training Centre. On completion of a BCM00, BCM01, BCM02 or BCM03 course all delegates will receive an email which includes further information about the exams and how to apply.
