[Trainer-talk] training sessions with clients

I have used JAWS tandem to so sone remote training. It depends on the client_s resources & skills. The client needs good broadband & ability to operate connection software.

meet face to face and can fine tune and connect on that personal level to
go over anything else that is going on.
