Virtual training sessions are a fantastic way to upskill, connect with industry professionals, and deepen your expertise—all from the comfort of your home! If you are joining Image Innovators SA Virtual Style Training from 24 February to 1 March, you are in for an engaging and enriching experience.
Here’s how to prepare to make the most of your training:
1. Set Up Your Learning Environment
Creating a dedicated and distraction-free space is crucial for effective learning. Ensure your setup includes:
A comfortable chair and desk.
Adequate lighting to prevent eye strain.
A clutter-free area to keep your focus sharp.
Necessary materials like notebooks and pens
Test your internet connection, camera and microphone in advance to avoid disruptions.
2. Familiarise Yourself with the Training Agenda
Knowing what to expect during the training helps you stay ahead and organised. Review the schedule and topics covered each day. Highlight any sessions you’re particularly excited about or areas you’d like to focus on.
Pro Tip: Note down questions or challenges related to these topics to discuss during Q&A sessions.
3. Test Your Tech
Before the training starts, ensure all your technology is functioning properly. This includes:
Installing and testing the Zoom app on your device.
Having a backup power source or battery for emergencies.
Using headphones for better audio quality.
Quick Tip: Log in a few minutes early to troubleshoot any last-minute issues.
4. Gather Your Materials
While most of the training materials will be provided, it’s always a good idea to have these on hand:
A journal to jot down insights.
Printouts of any pre-training resources shared by Image Innovators SA.
Sticky notes for quick annotations.
Being prepared ensures you can engage fully without scrambling for supplies.
5. Dress the Part
While this is a virtual training, dressing professionally can help you get into the right mindset. Remember how you dress affects your productivity and is the message that you are conveying to others about who you are. Plus, you will have interactive sessions where your on-screen presence matters. Opt for attire that’s both comfortable and polished.
Pro Tip: Incorporate style theory into your outfit to practice what you’re learning!
6. Engage Actively
Participation is key to getting the most out of any training. Here’s how to stay involved:
Ask questions during live sessions.
Take detailed notes and screenshots of key slides.
Share your thoughts or experiences in group discussions.
Remember: Your engagement not only benefits you but also enriches the experience for others.
7. Network with Fellow Participants
Virtual sessions are an excellent opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals. Introduce yourself during breakout sessions and engage on any shared platforms. Building relationships during training can open doors to collaborations and opportunities in the future.
8. Stay Organized
After each session, take 10-15 minutes to review your notes and organise them. Highlight key takeaways and actionable points to implement post-training. This simple habit will help reinforce your learning.
9. Plan for Practice
The training will provide valuable tools and techniques, but the real magic happens when you apply them. Schedule time after the training to practice style consultations, and any new skills you’ve learned.
10. Follow Up
Once the training concludes, stay connected with your peers. Stay involved with the Image Innovators SA community to continue your growth and stay updated on future opportunities.
