What is a virtual classroom?

A virtual classroom provides the same great learning experience as other ICAEW training, except one difference, you can learn from your desk.

Being delivered online makes it so much easier to access in a busy working week and would definitively recommend this type of training. The breakout rooms work really well to allow you to get to know the other participants and share experiences.

The focus is on the learner and creating an enriching classroom experience that connects participants globally. Using video, learners can converse and interact with the trainer and other learners in real-time. Whiteboards, break-out sessions, polls, screen-sharing, and interactive Q&A create an immersive learning experience.

I think the virtual training format using Zoom, and the survey features, and break out rooms, really works great. I had no problems engaging with the facilitator and felt he listened to what we said, and kept the pace of the content moving steadily.

David Levenson

David Levenson is an executive and career strategy coach, accredited team coach and expert in governance and leadership development. He works with senior professionals, including partners in accountancy firms, CEOs, CFOs and other C-Suite executives, and non-executive boards as a team coach and facilitator.

David has been a chartered accountant since 1984, qualifying with Touche Ross (now Deloitte). He worked in senior finance roles in the retail and property industries before moving into social housing in 1992 where he was Group Finance Director for leading London-based landlords Catalyst Housing Group, Genesis Housing Association (now part of Notting Hill Genesis) and Network Homes.

David is a co-creator of Raising Roofs, a governance skills and leadership development programme which prepares future leaders for the boardroom. He is passionate about the workplace of the future and fascinated by how technology is rapidly changing the way we work, especially in a post-pandemic world. He is an advocate for diversity and inclusion from the front line to the boardroom, a frequent public speaker and contributor of articles and blogs on leadership, diversity and new technology.

A non-executive director for more than twenty years in a variety of sectors, David presently serves on the boards of an NHS Trust and a provider of housing and care services to the most disadvantaged members of society.

Our public course programme is deliberately structured to encourage delegates from different organisations to participate. However, if you have six or more delegates who require development in the same area, we are able to run a more cost-effective and much wider range of courses tailored specifically to your organisation.

These are ideal for organisations seeking hassle-free, flexible and cost-effective training delivered to multiple delegates at your location of choice. Whether we use our existing materials or develop new content for your business, our expertise lies in translating your requirements into a pragmatic, interactive training programme highly relevant to your people and organisation.

"The team at ICAEW were excellent from the start. They took time to understand our strategic plan and growth aspirations and built a programme around this. We are starting to see the fruits of it already. One of the key factors in the programme's success is that each participant is given one-to-one coaching, enabling them to focus on their own development." Richard Baker, Partner, Crowe Clark Whitehill
