Students have the same level of participation and access to the trainer as they would in classroom training sessions.

How can I prepare if I am attending an online course?
You need to install the latest version of Adobe Premiere Pro and ensure you have the appropriate license to use it.
The browser you use is very important. It is recommended you use Chrome, Edge, or Firefox. The latest version must also be installed. Note that Internet Explorer is not compatible with our delivery technologies.
