Online Courses

At TMS we always strive to provide the best possible support and training for our customers and for that reason, we now offer online courses. Attendees are able to participate and join the training courses, which are still be run by our certified training instructors, from anywhere in the world.

How does it work?
Attendees will attend the training courses via the GoToTraining software which will allow all attendees to see and hear the trainer, and their screen. Attendees will receive a meeting invite a couple of days before the training course so they can add the meeting to their calendar and then use the link in the meeting invite to join the course.

What time does the course start and end each day?
Our online training courses will keep to the same time-frames as courses which normally run in our office. This means that attendees can join the meeting from 9am with training officially starting at 9:30am. Training will finish around the same time of 4:30pm.

Will there be breaks and when is lunch?
During the training course we will have short breaks for users as required between lessons. Lunch will start around 12:30pm for approximately 1 hour.

What if I get stuck on an exercise?
