Value and Benefits of Blended/Virtual Training
Getting the training you need shouldn’t be a challenge.
With Blended/Virtual Training, we’ve combined the best of our training methods into a modern and flexible format, giving you all the advantages of live interactive, instructor-led training along with the benefits of flexible self-study.
Connect virtually to the training to enjoy live lectures and the exchange of ideas with other students under the guidance of your expert Cadence trainer. With no travel involved, you stay comfortable—wherever you are. All you need is a computer, a fast internet connection, and access to the Cadence software.
All theory needs practice. Part of the Blended/Virtual Training solution is working on mini-projects where you apply what you just learned. Your trainer will be available “live and virtual” to provide help and support.
Access to all needed training materials—including temporary training software licenses—is provided.
Check out scheduled course dates at www.cadence.com/training or book a private training for your company with a minimum of four students. For a short introduction, watch our Blended Training Solution video.
Experience Blended/Virtual Training
One of the key advantages of Blended/Virtual Training is the built-in flexibility. Course schedules and course flows can be set up per the needs of the group. The content of a one-day live course could, for example, be held on one day for a Blended/Virtual Training. Or the content could be broken up into smaller blocks over two days. Courses are held with a minimum of four attendees—instead of eight—making it easier to get your teams trained.

- During the lab sessions, the trainer “goes around” to attendees to check on progress, issues, difficulties, etc. to guide and support—and answer any questions that come up.
- For the labs, access to the Cadence software is required. We will provide temp keys to attendees as needed for the duration of the training.
