What is Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT)?​

Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) is a method of instruction delivered in a virtual environment, where the instructor and learners are situated in different locations. Despite the physical separation, the training occurs in real-time, effectively simulating a traditional classroom setting.

Did you know?

The Mid Atlantic OTI Education Center has been approved by OSHA to deliver VILT and was a trailblazer in developing the Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) OSHA program that is widely utilized today.

Zoom-Based Training

Our VILT sessions are delivered using the Zoom platform, which is widely recognized and familiar to many users. This ensures an easy and accessible experience, allowing participants to focus on the training content without the need to learn a new tool.
