How Online Classes Work
Your instructor will call you at the start of class while you are logging on to our online meeting center. While you are talking on the phone, you can see each other's computer screens to demonstrate and practice. Comprehensive training materials provide our curriculum during class and serve as your reference materials after class.
FREE Computer Evaluation Included with Every Class
