Menlo Park, CA – On September 15, Unisfair, the leading provider of virtual events and business environments, will introduce to the market the Unisfair Virtual Classroom, an engaging and cost-effective virtual training environment used by organizations like Intel, Intuit, IBM and Novartis, to train customers, partners and employees.

In addition to higher attendee satisfaction, companies leveraging the Unisfair Virtual Classroom have reported a 95 percent reduction in training costs, with the average cost per attendee going from roughly $2,000 to $100. By replacing traditional training with a virtual classroom, companies are able to save millions of dollars without sacrificing effectiveness.

The Unisfair Virtual Classroom also enables the trainers to administer online tests and monitor learning progress. The outstanding success rates delivered by the Unisfair Virtual Classroom are the result of providing participants a highly interactive and stimulating learning environment, including studying live with an online instructor or accessing the recorded training sessions when it is most convenient. Participants can be trained at their own pace, repeating previous sections at any time, resulting in a deeper learning experience.
