Proximum has trained public servants for 15 years, chartered by France’s Ministry of the Interior. In order to stand out and offer a unique online experience to the trainees, they chose the Glowbl virtual classes. Ludovic Bouchut, President of Groupe VB, shares his feedback on Proximum’s experience with Glowbl.
Hosting virtual classes to meet the need for remote training
Proximum provides training across France, including overseas, focusing on law and public fields like urbanism and finance.
Providing customised intra-company training sessions, Proximum as well as all of Groupe VB, now face the need of moving on to online tools to keep their activity alive: “Today, like all training centers, we are in the midst of a digital transition. The Covid-19 sped-up the change to digital tools, since we had to convert most of our training sessions to virtual classes.”

Just like most training experts at the same moment, Ludovic Bouchut sought a solution to face the emergency of the situation encountered by his professional branch. He was then looking for a tool that would offer a true pedagogical experience, built for online classes. “At the beginning of the health crisis, I established that there were two distinctive types of solution: the traditional videoconference tools built for remote exchanges, and the tools specifically made for trainings, which were a better fit for my needs. It was obvious that hosting a virtual class was very different from using a video conference platform to provide remote training.” adds Mr Bouchut.

An online tool focused on interactivity for engaging sessions
Beyond the technical performance, Ludovic Bouchut also enjoys the importance given to the trainees in a Glowbl virtual space: “On Glowbl, each participant can pilot their own bubble, turn on their own microphone and camera whenever they want: these features are essential for the way we facilitate our sessions. They really contribute to maintaining the interactions that keep the training lively”.
At Proximum, most of the sessions are 10 to 15 people, in order to maintain high quality teaching and to assist the trainees in getting familiar with Glowbl. “We wanted to recreate the same interactivity as in real life, and from where I see it, it’s easier to give work scenarios and to exchange during a session with 15 people rather than with more”, explains Ludovic Bouchut.

Innovating in techs to maintain human connections
Proximum chose Glowbl partly for its client support: “The Glowbl team offered customized help from the start.”. The team was very responsive, especially when it came to technical support and how to get used to the platform. We also had the opportunity to get help for our facilitators during their first online sessions.”

After a year on Glowbl, Proximum’s president and team are developing tailored ‘packed training’ for the platformThe principle? Creating dense training sessions associating individual learning and remote training through Glowbl virtual classes. “At the moment, we are elaborating a catalogue of inter-companies training sessions, built with Glowbl.These sessions will combine self-learning with interactive key moments on Glowbl in a hybrid virtual class format. A synthesis phase in auto-learning will conclude each packed training session.”
Proximum mastered Glowbl over time, earning Qualiopi certification and trust from key public institutions like the Ministry of Justice.
