GMP Live Online / On Demand Training - Technical Information

Since January 2006 the ECA Academy has also been offering training courses and conferences online. You can take advantage of the following offers.

Live Online Training Courses/Conferences and Webinars: Webinars – commonly with one speaker – bring you up to date quickly in about 2 hours. In live online training courses/conferences, on the other hand, you participate – almost like in a face-to-face event – at your PC in a complete training course/conference over 1 or 2 days and with several speakers – including the opportunity to discuss with speakers and participants. Here you will get to the currently offered Live Online Training Courses/Conferences and Webinars.
In addition to live online training courses/conferences, the ECA Academy also offers courses and webinars online on-demand. Webinars usually take 2 hours, whereas training courses last between 1 and 3 days, with approx. 5 to 7 hours of presentations per day. When your order the recording you can determine when you want to watch it. The online training course or webinar will then be available on our server on the date you specified and can be accessed with a code provided together with the invoice. Here you will get to the list of recorded online training courses/conferences and webinars.

In the following you can see a recording of a live online training course.

Do I need specific software?

Live Online Courses/Conferences and Webinars:
For webinars and live online training courses/conferences, we use Cisco WebEx one of the leading suppliers of online meetings. At https://www.webex.com/test-meeting.html you can check if your system meets the necessary requirements for the participation at a WebEx meeting and at the same time install the necessary plug-in. Please just enter your name and email address for the test. If the installation is not possible due to your rights in the IT system, please contact your IT department. WebEx is a standard nowadays and the necessary installation is fast and easy.

Important: Please also see the detailed system requirements below.

On Demand Courses/Conferences and Webinars:
To participate in an on demand training course or webinar, you do not need any software. The recordings are made available via a server, i.e. no files are transmitted. In general, the recording is provided in MP4 format, which any PC (Microsoft Windows, Apple IOS) or tablet can easily display.

Participation of groups in an Online Training Course/Conference or Webinar

The participation fee only entitles one individual to participate in the online training course/conference or webinar. Therefore only one certificate of participation will be issued per registration. If the participation fee was paid only once and several persons participate, this violates the copyright of CONCEPT HEIDELBERG as well as that of the speaker. If you would like to register a group, please send an e-mail to info@concept-heidelberg.de or call Mr. Schopka: +49 (0) 6221 / 844413. The prices for groups can be found in the respective programme.

The presentations will be made available to you as PDF files shortly before the online training course/conference or webinar. After the training course/conference you will automatically receive a certificate of participation.
