All training sessions are conducted using the web based tools from WebEx.com. This services provides interactive screen displays and uses an audio confernece dial-in for voice (the number used is probably long distance for most users and any charges are your responsibility). VOI calls may also be used. Since the WebEx service is not free, I am forced to make a small charge to users so that I can recover some of the fees that I have to pay.
