### Synchronous

A synchronous product is a training activity that takes place on a scheduled date and time.

  For example, Introduction to Microsoft Excel, a 4-hour training session scheduled for June 1st.

Synchronous activities may include features such as limited capacity, waiting lists, certificates, and automated reminders.

They can also be configured with different **event types** to support various training formats:
