What is Remote Training?
Remote training at Nexacu means our experienced trainers will deliver your training virtually. With remote learning, students can access our usual classroom training courses via video conferencing, ask questions, participate in the discussion and share their screen with the trainer if they need help at any point in the course. Students have the same level of participation and access to the trainer as they would in classroom training sessions.
Which courses are available if I am working from home?
Currently, all of our Public Courses are available to be delivered remotely. Book any course as normal and you will receive login details and instructions the evening before your course.
How can I prepare if I am attending an online course?
You need to install the latest version of Word 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.
Windows 10 is highly recommended as the operating system you use. If you are using an apple device, use Safari or a similar modern browser if you cannot use any of the browsers recommended above. Your training experience may diminish due to different features and appearances. Nexacu's trainers are unable to provide detailed guidance for macOS.
To download and unzip files, log in to your student portal. Click on the "Materials" tab and download your exercise files.
Extract your Exercise Files to the specified folder below. Note you will have to create this folder first.
