VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
Builders Academy Australia is committed to providing simple, user-friendly online alternatives to traditional classroom education. If you’re interested in studying building and construction courses, we’ll help you achieve this.
Convenience is important, and we understand that it’s not always possible to access the right learning resources because of your location. This is why we’ve come up with a new and innovative means to deliver building and construction courses to those in rural or hard to reach areas throughout the country.
We want to help tradies take the next step in their careers. If you’re ready to start your own business or wondering how to become a construction manager, our courses are the best way to pursue your career goals.
Below is a current list of our virtual classroom courses. We have a team of experienced course advisers that can walk you through the details of our virtual online training program.
If you would like to enrol in one of the courses, or find out more information, please give our team a call on 1300 534 363 (LEGEND) and one of our experienced course advisers can walk you through the details.
Meet Lee: Building and Construction Virtual Classroom Trainer at Builders Academy
Building and construction is a hands-on industry, but with improvements in technology, real-time virtual training classes are becoming increasingly popular. Many course components can be completed online.
Previously, our building courses online were self-paced, meaning you could log in and complete classes and assessments at a time that suited. We found that a lack of engagement for some students was not contributing to the most constructive learning environment possible.
This is why we redesigned our online courses into a virtual classroom setting that allows students and trainer to interact in real-time for discussions, questions, and quizzes, just like a physical classroom.
Not every Builders Academy course offers an virtual classroom option. And not every student is suited to online learning.
If you want flexibility, the freedom to work from home and to be the master of your own destiny, studying one of our building courses online could be exactly what you need.
With a set schedule of virtual classroom classes each week, you will be able to attend from the comfort of your own home while maintaining all the benefits that come with direct communication and interaction between yourself, your trainer and your fellow classmates.
The main drawback to self-paced online training is the lack of engagement and motivation. Many students simply put off doing their online work and inevitably give up as they struggle to remain focussed or fail to retain information.
This is where virtual training aims to bridge this divide, keeping students accountable and keeping them engaged as they learn.
30-40 minutes is set aside before, during and after each class as question time, so you can get the most out of your trainer and their years of hands-on experience.
This will ensure you don’t fall behind and will also enable you to see how other students are tracking and help each other in a positive and encouraging environment.
Students login to a virtual classroom environment at set class times from their homes or offices or any other location where they can access the internet via their laptop or PC with a microphone and camera. Trainers deliver each session live and interactively via video educational specialist conferencing software (GoToTraining) with students interacting live with other students and the Trainer. Each session is recorded with students able to go back in at a later date and re-watch sections of interest.
Each recorded session delivered under the Virtual Classroom model has its recording added to the student library for all students. Accordingly students can hear at least 10 Trainers talk on each topic at any time they wish to expand their knowledge beyond the content covered in their specific classes.
We are constantly upgrading our program to deliver you more building and construction courses online and a greater range of experiences.
