Course Materials
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 not be able to participate in the course exercises. Using your organization's BI environment is not an option for completing the course exercises.
