Is my computer powerful enough?

WebEx or Zoom applications are supported by Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.

Do I need a headset?

We recommend that you use a headset with a microphone so that you are not disturbed by background noise from your environment.  You can also simply use the built-in loud speakers and microphone on your computer or a hands-free telephone. However, please note that if you do not have a headset, you should turn off your microphone to prevent an echo.

What type of Internet connection do I need?

For optimal performance, please use a high-debit broadband Internet connection rather than a wireless connection.

Can I use a tablet or a mobile device?

No. Our training courses include interactive activities.  It is unfortunately impossible to fully benefit from your training experience on a tablet or a telephone.

How can I interact with the trainer?

You can click on the speak icon at any time and then ask your question normally in your microphone or in front of your computer. You can also use the chat tool to type your question.

Should I find a room to follow my virtual class?

Your virtual class is accessible anywhere as long as you have an Internet connection. It is strongly recommended that you find a calm place. To avoid being disrupted, close the door, turn off your mobile phone and shut down your email.

What should I do if I have a technical problem during a training course?

If a glitch occurs, you can ask the trainer to help you solve the problem.  If the problem persists, please call the technical helpdesk at 1 800 499-8896 # 258.

How long do virtual training courses last?

The duration depends on the selected training course. We offer one-off sessions lasting between 1.5 and 3 hours and multi-session courses.

Are your training courses recognized by Emploi-Québec?

Yes, CFC Group is a training organization that has been certified by the Commission des partenaires du marché du travail (Certification no. 0057388).
