GW Micro - Training

GW Micro is pleased to announce Window-Eyes Training in various locations around the United States and Canada. We are providing instruction in basic and intermediate skills in a 2 day format; trainees can take one or both days. This training will provide you with the foundation needed to use your computer with confidence.

Window-Eyes Training Policies

• We will offer training classes in Fort Wayne, IN as well as other locations around the U.S. (48 contiguous states) and Canada (some areas not covered - please call).
• The training offered is a two-day training program: one day to teach Window-Eyes Basics and one day for Window-Eyes Intermediate Skills.
• A trainee can sign up for one or both.
• If a trainee signs up for Window-Eyes Intermediate Training only, that person must pass a test to determine if you have the basic skills needed for the intermediate class. When you register on-line for the intermediate class only, you will be presented with an on-line test. You must have a score of 85 to be prepared for the intermediate training. Your grade will be sent to you by email.
• GW Micro staff will conduct the training.
• If there is a Host to help with the training, the host will be encouraged to provide a training location, computers, power strips (one per person) and extension cords. If they cannot do these things, they must help locate a proper training location and provide whatever equipment they can.
• Class size is a minimum of three and a maximum of ten. Class registration will be closed 10 days prior to the start of the class.
• The training fee must be paid at the time of registration with a check, credit card or purchase order.
• The training fee is $250 per day per person if you bring your own computer or if the host provides a computer. On the rare occasion that you or the host does not provide the computer, additional charges may be incurred.
