How Does a Virtual Seminar Work?
You join in using an 800 number to get connected. You can have many people listening in your office for the price of one. (There is a nominal fee for additional listeners receiving CEU certificates.) The instructor’s interaction with you, the listener, will make this program enjoyable to listen to, and you can ask questions from wherever you are. (Touchtone phone required.) This feature is very much like participating in a talk radio program. You will receive easy-to-follow instructions to download the PDF file presentation days before the seminar. You can also print the PDF file presentation and make as many copies as you need for taking notes.
