As a trainer, have you ever been rushed to finish a class? Or realised too late that you have more information than time? Or wondered why some of your training classes finish early and others leave you gasping for air? Even the most seasoned trainers sometimes struggle with classroom time management.

Think about it: If you have and eight-hour, face-to-face class and you lose five minutes due to a discussion tangent, you can easily make it up at another point during the day. But in a 60 minute virtual session, if you spend an extra unplanned five minutes on a topic, then you’ve lost almost 10 percent of your available time!
