Why is On-site Training Important?

On-site training is a critically important part of succeeding with VTube-LASER. We strongly recommend that you purchase at least one day of on-site training from us when you purchase your first VTube-LASER license. On-site Training Extends the VTube-LASER Software Maintenance Plan to ONE YEAR The VTube-LASER license comes standard with 30 days of VTube-LASER Software Maintenance Plan support. However, if you purchase on-site training with your new VTube-LASER license, then we will extend your SMP to one year - which gives you support and free updates for one year.

About the On-site Training Agenda

Training agendas for VTube-LASER usually follow the pattern shown below. We often adjust the training depending on the customer's application needs.

Number of Trainees and Types of Trainees

The number of trainees in the training depends on the role each trainee is assigned. There are two types of trainees: Hands-on Trainee and Observer Trainee Hands-on Operator Trainees: 3 maximum Hands-on trainees handle the computer and arm. n the steps we show below, many of the actions are hands-on practice. If we have 3 trainees, then the step will require 3 iterations. If we have 5 trainees, then the step will require 5 iterations. Having too many students in the hands-on training may limit how much information we can give. The fewer the number of hands-on trainees, the faster training goes. Observer Trainees: 3 maximum If you limit some of the trainees to observers, then the training will move more quickly, and we will be able to teach more information. Appropriate Equipment Large Monitors Also, it is important to know that larger monitors are necessary for training larger numbers of trainees - whether they are hands-on or observers. For example, 6 total trainees cannot easily see a laptop monitor at the same time. It is very important to have a large monitor for a class with that many trainees. (Large = 27" or larger). Amplified Sound Please be sure that have amplified sound for this system so that everyone can hear the sound feedback.
