Created in response to COVID-19, where most face-to-face corporate training was suddenly canceled, the platform will also help trainers adapt to digital and enable them to deliver training sessions through VR.
Launching the new method with a High Impact Presentation Skills course, users learn key techniques through web-based training, and at specific points in the course, they are directed to put on a VR headset and practice in the VirtualSpeech app. Now, they can also book 30-minute sessions in VR with an expert instructor to provide them with feedback and personal coaching to perfect their presentations.

From practicing an elevator pitch to learning how to deliver a keynote speech, and even speaking at a press conference, learners can now have a personal coach training them live in VR.
“VR can replicate many common presentation-based scenarios, helping employees to practice in a more realistic way – with the addition of a trainer in the virtual room, learners can receive high-quality training from anywhere in the world, whether at home or in the office,” explains Sophie Thompson, Co-founder at VirtualSpeech.
