Online Learning Formats
Our online learning formats are grouped into 2 main categories: instructor-led and self-paced.
Choose the one that’s right for you based on your schedule and learning style.
Instructor-Led
With instructor-led learning, each lesson is taught live by an experienced trainer in a virtual classroom. Courses typically run for 4 weeks, with a 60-minute online class each week. Once enrolled, you’ll access lessons and course materials in the Scanifly Academy platform each week.
Instructor-led learning is best if you:
Can dedicate time in your schedule to attend each class in your course
Prefer live instruction with the opportunity to ask questions in real time
Enjoy a classroom experience where you learn alongside your peers
Self-Paced
Unpredictable schedule? Short on time? With self-paced learning, you’ll cover the same content as our instructor-led course, but with video lessons pre-recorded by an experienced trainer. Once enrolled, you can go at your own speed with immediate access to all lessons and course materials.
Self-paced learning is best if you:
Like to consume lessons and materials on your own time
Want to break lessons into smaller pieces or move at an accelerated pace
Can’t commit to attending live classes each week
