VIRTUAL P6 CLASSROOM - HOW IT WORKS:

BOOKING: If you would like to schedule a private class please contact us first to check availability. Once availability is confirmed, please use the registration form on the register page of our website to sign-up. We will then email an invoice to you. Once you have paid for your class, you will be put in touch with an instructor so that you can schedule your training sessions.

If you would like to attend an online P6 class listed on our schedule page, please sign-up using the registration form on the Register page of our website:

Register

COMPUTER: You will need an internet connected computer with a strong and reliable internet connection, but you do not need to have P6 installed on your computer. The remote training pc, which you will connect to, will have the P6 software for you to use in class.

SOFTWARE: The online training will be conducted using the online meeting sofware GoToMeeting and a software program that will allow you to connect to a remote training pc. You will be emailed a link to install these before class, which is quick and easy to do, but you might need to check with your IT administrator first, if you need permission.

AUDIO: You will also need to be able to hear and speak during the training, so either a computer with built-in speakers and a microphone, or connected headsets with a built-in microphone are recommended. Dialing-in via telephone is also an option.

OPTIONAL: If available, having two monitors or two separate devices for class participation is preferable, because it will make it easier to switch between viewing the instructor's machine in the GoToMeeting window and the window displaying the remote machine (P6) that you are connected to and using.

CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION: You will be able to access and download your certificate of completion after class, upon full class completion.
