The project “Sustainable Business through Training for Veterinary Paraprofessionals” aims to incorporate both face-to-face and virtual learning elements in its training program. A desk-study was conducted to inform project design for virtual training. The study Virtual learning strategies for veterinary paraprofessionals" aimed to answer the following questions: - what virtual training approaches already exist for VPPs and allied professions? - which actors are working in this area? - what is the impact of gender on engagement with virtual learning? - what lessons can be drawn from the experiences of those who have conducted virtual training for VPPs and allied professions? This study report summarizes some of the key lessons learned by the virtual learning initiatives that were identified. This document brings together a succinct version of these key lessons.
