Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to download any software in advance?
Yes, to use all of the interactive features in a webinar,
you must run Training Manager on your computer. Unlike old
methods of installing software from a CD or disk, the webinar
software will automatically download and set up Training Manager
the first time you join a webinar. Each time you participate
in a webinar, Training Manager will maintain itself by checking
for the latest version and automatically updating itself,
if necessary.
Are Webinars pre-recorded?
No. Webinars are live with an expert speaker talking to the
audience in real time. As a result, you may ask the speaker
your questions through a web chat feature. Simply type your
questions into the "Chat" section of the software,
and the speaker will address your questions at the end of
the presentation.
Does it matter what type of computer I use?
No, webinars will work on both PCs and Macs. As long as you
have a high-speed internet connection, you can participate
in a webinar.
What do I need to know about my webinar registration
before contacting PPC?
Please include your name and the acronym/cover title in any
correspondence about your class. If you don't have the keycode,
then we will identify your request by the name of your class,
type of training (Seminar or Virtual), date and time.
How do I cancel my registration for a training session?
In the event you need to cancel your registration, you will
be asked for the identifying information for your specific
webinar—title of webinar, class code, and date and time.
This information is listed on your confirmation statement
displayed after you submit your registration. Call Customer
Service: 9:00-7:00 Eastern Time M-F: 800.323.8724, then select
option 2.
What if I need to reschedule for another class?
There are two ways to reschedule your training registration:
You will be asked for the identifying information at the top
of this message. The process is similar to submitting a cancellation,
with the addition of your new choice of training session.
Call Customer Service: 9:00-7:00 Eastern Time M-F: 800.323.8724,
then select option 2.
I missed my class. Can I reschedule?
Certainly. Follow the rescheduling instructions above.
I have coworkers who would like to sit with me during
a virtual class. Can we all get CPE credit?
To be in compliance with NASBA, each student needs to register,
receive training materials and return an evaluation form.
We will try to accommodate your request, but the need for
effective training limits the number of students per session.
We may be able to arrange an individual class for your firm.
Please request custom training at Webinar_Learning_Network@thomson.com.
