All you need is a reliable internet connection (DSL or faster), a web browser such as Internet Explorer, Firefox or Safari, and the apropriate software programs(which we offer at a deeply discounted student rate).

You are no longer by yourself. You have an expert by your side to answer any question you may have on the subject.
Your Live Training session is recorded and posted online so you can review parts or the entire training session. You can then focus on learning from your instructor instead of taking notes.
Therefore unlike other instructor-led programs, you will not need to retake any training. Just log in using the link provided to you to playback your training session video.
Our online classrooms can accommodate up to 25 attendees but we limit that number to 10 per training session to allow more one-on-one interactions between the instructor and each attendee.
All our training sessions are delivered through an encrypted internet connection using a secure private network. You can rest assured your privacy is entirely protected and your computer completely safe from intruders and malwares.
