    Abstract

    Corporate training in Cyprus has been traditionally delivered exclusively via face-to-face sessions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a large part of online training was implemented online. Indeed, the pandemic has accelerated several transformations of the education sector, including professional development. Our team at the Institute of Development has been offering trainings and seminars to business and industry for the last 20 years. One of the areas we have been designing and delivering training is on performance management. In this brief reflection chapter, we will share our experiences on adapting a face-to-face training program for full online synchronous delivery. We begin with a brief description of the context, course and target groups. We then reflect on some of the key challenges and opportunities we see in adapting traditional face-to-face sessions online. We close the chapter by offering practical tips based on our experiences in designing and delivering the course.
