It is simply a live training session accessible on a personal computer, with no traveling involved.

The session takes place entirely through your computer, with the instruction appearing on the screen and the audio delivered through the computer's speakers (internal or external). No phone call is necessary to participate.

The sessions are generally an hour or less.

Not really. In addition to your personal computer, a headset (with a microphone and headphone combination) is recommended but not required. A headset will allow you to speak to the trainer if you wish, providing a more interactive training session. Communication is possible without a headset by using the text chat.

Yes. Supported PC browsers are: Internet Explorer 7.0 or newer, Firefox 3.0 or newer, and Google Chrome 5.0 or newer. Supported PC operating systems are: Windows 7, Vista, XP or 2003 Server.

Locate the training that interests you on the DISCUS Training Schedule. The training description includes a link for joining the meeting. On the day of the training, click the link a few minutes before the start of the session and follow the instructions on the screen.

The entire webinar will permit 15 separate log-ins from 15 individual PCs. Through the use of one computer (with speakers) that is connected to projection equipment, a group of people at one physical location can participate together. If group members have questions for the trainer, a designated person in the group can type questions into the text chat. This arrangement will be recognized as a single log-in even though numerous people at one location are participating as a group.
