Computer for each participant with a software version installed
Your company received an installation package for the software when the corresponding system was purchased and delivered. Please use that to install the software on an adequate computer/laptop that has an internet connection. Each participant should have an individual computer/laptop connected to the internet.  If possible, use more than one screen in order to follow more easily.

Adequate internet connection
The computer/laptop that you are working with during the training needs an adequate internet connection free from interference. Note that we will use Microsoft Teams as our communication tool. Installation of the Teams Windows App on your training computer is required. It is needed for e.g. sharing of screens to support you during the training and for sharing of files.

Adequate audio and video availability
The computer/laptop must provide audio and video capabilities. Please ensure that a working headset and webcam are available during the training.

Adequate workplace – Avoid distraction
Please ensure that you can work in a convenient environment (quiet place with good lighting) without being disturbed for the whole of the training time. Please be aware that virtual software training requires your full attention.

Be prepared
Please test the installation/connection/bandwidth of the remote session setup before the first training day. In case of usage of cordless headsets ensure a fully charged headset at the beginning of each training day. Test the software using the information that you received. Inform the trainer if the test was not successful at least one week before the first training day.
