Virtual Class Prep

Connect Early:

Especially on your first day of class, we highly encourage you to log in early to ensure all technologies are in working order.

• Click here to test your connection to our virtual lab environment in Skillable.

• Click here for the Skillable system requirements - provide this to your IT team as they may need to configure firewall settings

Dual Monitors:

Two monitors, or devices, are recommended (not required) for an optimal training experience.  One monitor for your virtual classroom connection and a second for your lab environment.  A 3rd device/monitor is recommended for viewing your digital courseware.  A separate tablet or laptop/computer would also work as a 3rd screen for viewing courseware.

VPN:

Please do not connect to your VPN during class if possible.  This will cause a lag in your virtual lab environment and possibly your class connection.

Audio:

This training will take place in a virtual classroom (Microsoft Teams, Zoom or GoToMeeting), which uses VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) .  To be able to participate in virtual training, you must have internet access and speakers and a microphone on your computer, or a headset with a microphone.

Webcam:

For your virtual classroom, it is highly recommended you have a webcam available.
