We at ESD Simulation Training are happy to announce that in-person training has returned for all of our courses!  We are extremely appreciative of the tremendous amount of support that we have received from our customers over the past 2 years while we transitioned to online training.  From the beginning, it has always been our goal to eventually return to in-person training and we couldn’t be happier to announce that it is now possible.  Please continue reading for information on this transition including what regions it applies to and a list of FAQs.

The return of in-person course delivery applies to all regions except for Australia.  Unfortunately, the current guidelines and travel restrictions in and out of Australia makes it impossible for us to run any in-person courses.  Therefore, at the moment, all courses based in the Australian region will remain in an online delivery format, with the hope that we will be able to return to in-person training in the near future.

For all courses that aren’t scheduled in Australia, in-person delivery will begin immediately.  On our website, each course listing date will indicate the specific location where the course is scheduled to take place.  Depending on the city, the courses will either be delivered at our partnered hotel conference centres or our own training facilities.  Courses are subject to change and may be delivered online either by request or due to a number of factors including health guidelines, instructor availability, etc.

If you have been holding off on booking your training, now is the perfect time to register!  See below for a list of our upcoming in-person courses…
