What You Need to Attend

To attend our live online courses you will need a computer (desktop or laptop), an internet connection and a web browser. 

If you work with a laptop, it might be difficult to show the Instructor’s screen and work in the program at the same time, so for smaller screens, we recommend you have a second monitor or second computer.

It would be helpful if you have a microphone so you can speak during the course, but if you don’t you will still be able to ask questions and make comments using the Q&A or Chat features.
