We now offer training sessions conducted online using Adobe Connect. This allows you to participate in a training workshop from your office or home computer. You will need speakers to hear the training, and we recommend a headset for the best audio results. If you wish to ask spoken questions, you will need a microphone, and we recommend a headset with microphone for the best results. All sessions will be recorded and available here for review after the session. Once you register for a session you will receive an email directing you on how to log in.
