Face-to-Face – this is perfect if you'd rather take your time and ask more questions of the Trainer.

Virtual Training – this is ideal if you're comfortable working with computers, able to navigate between a variety of files and working with multiple windows. The course tends to be faster paced and with a little less interaction than the face-to-face option. For this type of training, it is a must that you have use of two monitors and use of a mouse (not the trackpad on a laptop).
