First Year Training

I see many first years on this forum are now discussing whether training will be done in person or not. My firm has already let us know that training will be WFH, but I am slightly unsure as to what this training entails.

Before starting official training, the firm is having us complete the SIE and some excel, financial analysis, etc. training modules.

What else is there to do other than the top-off exams? 

Can some speak to their training experiences, and what the hours were like during this time?

Thanks!
