[Trainer-talk] training sessions with clients

[Scott Blanks]

I have not included any specific language, as either a contractor or as apart of a company providing tech training, anything requiring the instruction to be face-to-face. With Skype and other chat options, as well as tools like Jaws Tandem and other log in facilities, distance training can be effective, though I honestly find it to be more taxing on me than the in-person work.

hi,

that sounds about right, plus does anyone else have contract language 
mandating training is performed on-site/no skype allowed?
