What’s a Webinar?

Webinar = Web + Seminar

Webinars are live, online, interactive trainings accessed from your computer and are facilitated by skilled trainers. You'll use your computer to connect via WebEx and your telephone to listen to the facilitator.

All webinars are listed in the 'Online' sections of the Courses categories of Professional Effectiveness and Managerial Effectiveness, and are identified with a 'W' in the course code; e.g., TOD-6029W.
