Virtual Classroom
What is Virtual Training?
Today’s collaborative web technology now allows CPM Solutions to deliver courses in a virtual classroom. Students can be located anywhere in the world and simply need access to a phone and the internet to take part in our fully interactive, live training.
With CPM's Virtual Classroom Training you get comprehensive training from Primavera experts using seamless over-the web connectivity. The same content delivered in CPM's traditional "brick and mortar" classrooms is presented during virtual classroom deliveries. As in CPM's traditional classrooms, CPM virtual classroom stresses hands-on learning providing each registered student with exclusive access to live Primavera systems throughout each course.
