How long will the training take?

Our training is designed to give you at least an hour's worth of work. While working through the training may take you less than this, there are a number of downloads, templates, and things to action in your business which should take around an hour.

Remember you can come back to the training at any stage over the course of your subscription.

Do I need any special software to run your online training?

Probably not. You will need a reasonably recent browser (Internet Explorer 5 or higher), and you'll need to have Adobe Flash player 5 or higher installed on your machine - chances are you already have this. Go here: www.adobe.com/shockwave to test if you have it installed on your machine. To download the latest version of Flash Player go to: get.adobe.com/flashplayer.

What if my computer crashes, or I lose my internet connection?

All information you enter into any templates or boxes while you are online, gets saved each time you move to another page. So if your computer crashes then just start up again, login and you will be back to where you were working just before the crash.

If you have any technical problems, email the Help desk support@tsbc.com

Do I need broadband to access these workshops?

No. We have developed these online workshops to be accessible from a normal modem (a 56k connection will be fine). Our workshops are not media rich on purpose (no talking heads or video streaming), so you get the information that you want quickly – without any media gimmicks.

I have old software and cannot open the templates. What should I do?

Our templates will work on Office 98 and later. If you do not have Office 98 or later then maybe it is time to upgrade.

You can also use free software such as OpenOffice.org (www.openoffice.org) to open and edit the templates.
