Blended Live delivers:

There are currently 15 Blended Live courses in cybersecurity, Microsoft, Cisco and networking, and the portfolio will expand to over 50 courses during 2019. Global Knowledge is also developing custom programs for enterprise customers.
Improved Skills Development
During a course, Challenge Labs provide students with real-world problems to solve in a hands-on environment. Learners are tasked with completing challenges individually or in teams, using the skills that they have learned. Their solution is then assessed by the instructor. The challenge labs provide sponsors and employers with verification to validate the effectiveness of the training.
Collaboration
Blended Live courses also feature Global Knowledge's next-generation virtual classroom technology that allows students to study from convenient locations, while retaining the advantages of interacting with instructors and other learners in real time.
