Web-Based Live Training - This online training will
be conducted live by a senior SKM engineer and other SKM engineers will
be available via chat or phone to assist with questions. The same
level of instruction, content, and practice projects will still be
covered as we normally do. Software
activation details will be provided as we get closer to the class. A
hardcopy training manual will be shipped about 10 days before the first
day of class. Student within the continental US qualify for free
shipping (UPS) of the hardcopy student manual. Students outside of the
US are responsible for delivery fees and duties and/or customs fees.
Live online training will be conducted using the GoToTraining platform.
We recommend using a Chrome browser for the instant join feature
without having to download and install extra software. Consider a
dual-monitor setup so that you can view the instructor’s screen while
performing hands-on exercises. Alternatively, you can join the meeting
on a tablet using GoToTraining’s app or use another computer next to
you.
