To ensure the "LIVE" Interactive training environment for each of our ON-Line courses, we have established minimum requirements that students computer systems must possess. This ensures each students ability to participate fully in the course of instruction being attended.
The few simple requirements that your computer systems must posses are the following:
1. Computer, that is able to browse the Internet at your discretion.
2. ISP, or Internet Service Provider, that also allows you access to the Internet at your discretion.
3. Web cam, if not already built in to your system then preferably the USB type with a built-in microphone.
4. Microphone.
5. Speakers or Headphones, that you can plug into your sound card or USB port. Many boom type headsets contain both microphone and earphones.
Most households today contain a personal computer, and most of those personal computers posses the items or capabilities mentioned above. If your system does not include a web cam, microphone, or speakers, you can find very affordable web cams with built in microphones, or headsets with boom microphones for your computer systems online or at your local retail outlets. It is usually easiest to use a USB type of connection in either case.
