WHAT TO EXPECT
Students who attend this course can expect five intense days of online instructor led hands-on learning. Due to the instructional design of the course, students that participate should feel comfortable interacting in an online virtual classroom environment with communication via telephone and the virtual classroom tools.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is designed to ready a role that we call an “IT Architect” (also known as an IT Professional).  This is most likely an individual that works in the IT department at an organization and needs to gain the core knowledge and skills in how to install, configure and manage a Project Portfolio Server 2007 deployment. 
STUDENT KNOWLEDGE REQUIREMENTS
A working knowledge of how to configure and manage Office Project Portfolio Server is an advantage but not a prerequisite.
CLASS TIME REQUIREMENTS
This is a five day online class where the student will participate in 4 hours of online instructor led classroom time and about 1-2 hours of hosted hands on lab time per day.
CLASSROOM ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS
This course is offered as a virtual classroom, which means students attend from their home or office using Live Meeting and a telephone. Requirements to attend this course include: A laptop or desktop machine, a dedicated high-speed connection and the ability to dial into a toll free number for up to 4 hours/day. Students are expected to review all materials covered during prior day sessions in order to facilitate the learning environment. Note: All classes are in English only
CLASSROOM ATTENDANCE RECOMMENDATIONS
Since this is a virtual class where the student will be viewing classroom material via Live Meeting, and interacting with a Hosted Hands on Lab Environment, we recommend the student to have either 2 machines (one for Live Meeting and one for Hosted Hands on Lab) or a single machine with dual screens.
CLASSROOM SIZE
This class is limited to 20 students.
