Do I need any equipment for the Live Virtual courses?

For Microsoft Office courses you would need a computer with full version of the software you are training in. We also strongly recommend having access to a second screen for the training. This will allow you to do the exercises on your primary laptop or computer and see the virtual whiteboard on a secondary device. That device can be anything from a separate computer screen, to something like a tablet or phone.
