Online Tools
RNTC combines tools and platforms to create interactive and inspiring online trainings where RNTC’s “learn by doing” approach is maintained. Trainings implemented online have consistently scored at the same satisfaction rates as those done face to face. Our online trainings have also been successfully implemented in areas with connectivity issues and low internet penetration, such as Cuba, Yemen, DRC and Burundi.
