Method of Learning
The learning is delivered using a Blended Learning model wherein it begins with a face to face instructor-led classroom session, thereafter continued over 10 to 14 days over an innovative e-learning platform called Wiztango.
The Blended Learning method enables learners overcome the common hurdles of time, location and pace of learning, giving them the flexibility to learn in a self-paced, social & collaborative manner.
In Singapore, such Learning Circles are funded by the LearnSG Seed Fund, thereby making them FREE for the participants.

The first run of this Learning Circle was organised on 18th Aug 2017 and was well-received by the community….attended by over 30 enthusiastic learners from business owners to individuals. The first session was conducted by Mr. Azhar Katib, founder – director of WebSell Solutions Pte Ltd.
Subsequent batches of this Learning Circle were organized for eager participants at Sakae Fintech in Tai Seng and at Association of Muslim Professionals in Pasir Ris. More runs of this Learning Circle will be conducted island-wide in Singapore. Being active in the training field, WebSell also conducts focused trainings on digital marketing topics to corporates and individuals.
