SGS Academy Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT) Courses
Accelerate your knowledge and skills in a safe environment.
The current pandemic has changed the way we approach learning, with new social distancing requirements increasing the demand for alternatives to the traditional classroom setting. The new emphasis on individual safety and wellbeing has made Virtual Led Instructor Training (VILT) more desirable than ever before. With VILT, training is delivered through a virtual environment, with instructor and learner in separate locations. Although this mode of training has been around for decades, it is especially relevant today.
SGS Academy has analyzed the impact of the COVID-19 crisis along with future trends, adapting our learning solutions to ensure learners a safe environment and easy access to industry knowledge and standards and regulations. Using the 6Es (Examine, Ensure, Establish, Explore, Enable and Evaluate), we have implemented an effective digital system that enhances our offerings and upskilled our tutors so they can deliver courses virtually.
We can now provide you with full access to accredited and non-accredited VILT courses so you can accelerate your knowledge in any of a wide range of areas. With the ability to take exams online, you will have a complete digital experience while still benefiting from personal interaction.
These are just a few of the course topics you can access virtually:
- Quality
- Energy
- Environmental
- Food
- Occupational health and safety
- Information security
- Social systems
- Business continuity

Testimonials
QMS Documentation and Lead Auditor Course, Virtual Instructor Led Training (VILT)
“At first I was apprehensive as I was used to face-to-face trainings with active interaction between facilitator and participants. With the SGS VILT programs that I’ve attended however, the facilitators were still able to actively engage participants and even have small group works through chat rooms. It was actually more convenient for me as I didn’t have to brave the Makati traffic and I was able to undergo the training in the comfort of our home. Materials were sent ahead of time and logistical arrangements (including the Zoom platform) were great. I hope SGS will continue offering VILT programs even after the COVID situation has been resolved.“
