Open Sessions (Virtual Classroom)
Held live via Zoom by our trainers. Virtual trainings are split into shorter days to account for the differing attention spans in remote teaching. Group work is held in virtual breakout rooms.
Closed on Premises Sessions (In-Person)
Held live and in person by the same trainers. Booked for a dedicated group and can be delivered at customer facilities. A minimum group size of 6 trainees applies. For more information, please reach out to [training@commercetools.com](mailto:training@commercetools.com)
Training pricing is based on the defined maximum group size of the respective course and the number of instructor facing hours the course consists of.
The standard delivery form is Virtual Classroom training, partitioned into daily sessions of each 4.5 hours ("half days").
The half day scheduling matches typical attention spans in virtual settings and allows more flexible timezone availability.
In-Person training is held in a more compact full day schedule but delivers the same amount of instructor facing hours as Virtual Classroom.
