Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) Logisitics

The following page provides guidance to anyone who has registered for a VILT PMU Factory Training event . If you are registered for such an event, please read through these details to prepare for your upcoming training event.  Email pmu@se.com with any questions or concerns.

What is PMU Factory Training?

• PMU Factory Training courses are instructor-led events with pre-defined agendas hosted on specific dates throughout the year available for registration by anyone interested. Students will learn various EPMS topics through a series of presentations and demonstrations, followed by extensive hands-on practice via guided lab exercises.

• Made possible by our state-of-the-art virtual training environment, each student will be assigned their own dedicated virtual training lab station, providing them full access to our EPMS software and hardware.

• The following document provides course and logistical information specific to Virtual Instructor-Led Training (VILT) events.

Virtual Training Environment

• PMU typically uses Microsoft Teams to host our VILT events.

• Confirmed registered attendees will receive an email 1-2 business days prior to the course's start date with step-by-step instructions on accessing the VILT event.

Class Times

• All VILT events start at 9:00 AM and end at 4 PM CT daily, unless otherwise indicated during the registration process or the event.

• We highly recommend logging into the VILT event at 8:45 AM CT each day to ensure there are no connection issues. Instructors will be available to assist as needed.

• There will be a 1-hour break for lunch and several shorter breaks provided as needed throughout the day.

VILT Preparation

• Familiarity with Microsoft Teams is suggested.

• A “good” internet connection is required. Please test your connection with a “speed test” type tool available on the internet.

• A comfortable and quiet place with minimal background noise to sit/stand/work is suggested.

• A second monitor is highly recommended as this will allow you to follow along with lab instructions or demos while also accessing the training environment.

• It is also recommended to use a headset with a microphone to eliminate background noise and easily communicate any questions you may have during training.

VILT Participation

• Logging onto the meeting platform on the first day counts as your attendance.

• Students are expected to have their cameras turned on and actively participate in the course, complete all lab exercises, answer questions, etc.

Upon Completion

• All registered students who have successfully completed a Factory PMU Training event will receive a certificate of completion within 10 business days from the last day of class. This certificate will contain the CEUs earned for this event.

• Note: For our Factory EcoXpert courses that include an associated Certification Exam, this certificate will not be issued until the exam has been passed.
