Course Materials
Classroom: Students attend classroom courses in one of our public training centers. You receive a hardcopy of the course notes and, in some courses, can choose to take home a copy of the course data.

Live Web: Students attend Live Web classes using a Web browser and a telephone and interact with their instructor and fellow classmates in real time. Each student receives an e-mail with instructions on how to join the class three business days before the class begins. The instructions e-mail includes a link to download the course materials. Students need to download and print the course materials prior to class.
System Requirements
For Live Web, you must
  • review and follow the general system requirements.
  • complete the course exercises through our virtual lab. The virtual lab allows you to access the software used in class over the Internet, so that you do not need this software on your local machine.
  • run this test to connect to a virtual lab session. If firewall problems prevent you from connecting to the virtual lab, then you will need the following software installed and configured in your environment to participate in the course exercises:
    • JMP Version 7, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, ODBC Driver for Microsoft Excel (Setup Instructions)
      Tip: To ensure that your ODBC Driver for Microsoft Excel is installed and set up properly:
      1. Open JMP.
      2. From the JMP Starter window, click Open Data Table.
      3. Select the Files of type drop down list.
      4. Scroll through the file types until you see Excel Files (.xls).
        If Excel Files (.xls) is included in this list, then your machine is set up to use the ODBC driver for Excel.
        If Excel Files (.xls) is not listed, contact your system administrator for support.
