Computer
Requirements The
hands-on practical exercises are intensive, critical to understanding the
material being taught, and required to successfully complete the class. If your
computer hardware does not meet the mandatory requirements listed below, your
experience in taking the class will be less than ideal and may also impact other
students while the instructors take time to troubleshoot hardware and software
problems.
Mandatory Operating System
Requirements • Operating system. Your computer must be running Microsoft windows 10 or later or macOS v10.12 or
later. Make sure your operating system is fully updated prior to class. •
Smartphones and tablets are prohibited.
Mandatory Software Requirements • Google
Chrome. The recommended browser to launch our virtual lab
environment. • Webex Meetings. Required to enter our live
online training environment, Webex Training Center. • Webex Chrome Extension.
Required to launch our live online training environment, Webex Training Center,
and works hand-in-hand with the Webex Meetings application. • Microsoft. You
will need
Microsoft Excel for this course.
Mandatory
Hardware Requirements • Dual monitors. You
will need one monitor to join the online classroom, view
presentations, see the instructor’s shared screen, and interact with the instructor(s). The second
monitor is needed to join and complete hands-on practical exercises. Not being
able to see both interfaces simultaneously will make it difficult,
if not impossible to successfully complete hands-on practical exercises. Large
screen monitors, trying to run the two different interfaces split screen, will
NOT work. Multiple computers can also work as a substitute to having multiple
monitors. • Hard-wired, high-speed
Internet connection. A wireless Internet connection may be sufficient,
however, a wired connection will improve latency and buffering, and will also
provide better connection speeds and stability overall. • Speakers. We recommend a
headset, headphones, or earbuds to eliminate feedback and echo if using your
microphone.
