What is virtual training?

Virtual training is real-time, live training conducted remotely by Megamind’s instructors. The classes are live, held online.
Most sessions are 2-day classes with 6 hours each day.  All sessions start at 7:00am Pacific Time (unless otherwise noted).

Can I record the class sessions?

No, you may not.
The class sessions are content copyrighted by Megamind Institute and recordings, and/or reuse of the class sessions cannot be made without prior consent from Megamind.  However; the recorded sessions are available online for a limited time, accessible with an assigned password provided to you by Megamind.

If I need to cancel my virtual training, what are my options?

Cancellations will be accepted up to 10 working days before the scheduled course. After that time, no refunds can be given but tuition can be applied to a future training session.

What if I cannot connect to the class sessions?

If there’s an outage on Megamind’s side of the connection, we’ll offer a make-up class session. Megamind will not be held responsible for missed classes based on factors outside of Megamind’s control, including (but not limited to): weather, down power lines, difficulties experienced by WebEx. You are responsible for ensuring that your Internet connection is functional and complying with the minimum software, bandwidth requirements, and scheduling. Support is available by contacting info@megamind.org or by calling 1-831-662-9164 during regular business hours (Pacific Time).

What are the system requirements?

Attendees will need a sustainable bandwidth of 100 Kb/s. High latency connections, such as satellite, are not supported. The class streamed content can be completed using web-based java applets, so having a browser capable of using java applets is required.
