We are continually improving and updating the training experience in our Virtual Training Center. Our online students have the advantage of moving to the front of the class to experience teaching in an almost personal, one on one, environment. The video and image content are high definition, bringing you up close to the tools, samples and specifications. The audio has been digitally enhanced for clarity of speech, so the student doesn’t have strain to pay attention and can retain more of the critical information and successful test taking hints.
The basic requirements for participation in the Virtual Training Center are:
- Computer with sound
- High speed internet access (HD Video - Standard Definition can be selected for improved speed)
- Printer
- Confirmed email address
- Up-to-date internet browser (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE, etc.)
- Adobe Reader installed
- Adobe Flash installed
As with any instruction, the time and effort you put into it, determines what you get out of it! It is important for the student to schedule and dedicate the appropriate amount of time to the online courses. Also, the student will enhance their ability to pass exams by eliminating distractions and be ready to take notes with pencil and paper, preferably a notebook. The student should have the same calculator that they will use for any exam they may take with AWS. Certain courses require specific code books, publications and documentation. If these books not provided via download in the course, they are the responsibility of the student to acquire prior to starting the course.
Once a student has registered and paid in full, they will be sent an email with instructions, login link, user name and password.
The online courses do not provide access to the Codebook of your choice. Students need to have a printed copy for their use prior to beginning the Code section of training.
AWS testing for SCWI, CWI Endorsements, CWS are now being handled by Prometrics. The student will be responsible for contacting AWS and scheduling any examinations for certification. If you need assistance, please call our office.
