Q: Do I need to be online when the course is taking place?
A. The web-based training course is designed to be interactive. It is
intended to be taken live, in real time, where you follow along in
your printed notes, ask the instructor questions, and work examples
using Stata. Courses are divided into three- to four-hour sessions
that take place over consecutive days.
Q: What type of Internet connection do I need?
A: A high-speed Internet connection is required. A wired connection is not
required. However, we do not recommed taking a web-based course using a
public hot spot such as a library, an airport, or a coffee shop.
Q: When will I receive my course notes?
A: A printed copy of the course notes will ship to participants
the week before the course is scheduled to begin.
Q: What will I need to do before the course begins?
A: To have the best experience in the web-based training course, you need
to verify that you have installed and updated the necessary software
and that you have downloaded all course materials. Specifically,
you need to do the following:
Q: Can I use my tablet or cell phone to attend the training?
A: Use at your own risk, and be advised that you will likely not be able to
speak with the instructors. We do not recommend this.
Q: What if I do not have permission to install software on my computer? Can I
still take the training?
A: Yes. An administrator on your computer can install the necessary software
and download course materials before the course begins. You will be able to
see and hear all course presentations and to communicate with instructors.
Q: Can I still take the training if I have an older version of Stata?
A: Yes, you may. We will send you a temporary license for the current version
of Stata. Note that the course may cover features that are only available in the
current version of Stata.
Q: What kind of computer will the instructor be using? I'm worried I won't be
able to follow if I use something different.
A: The training will be conducted on a Windows computer. However, the Stata
commands used in the courses are exactly the same across platforms. In
addition, Stata's interface is very similar across platforms. You will be able
to work along.
Q: Will I get the same high-quality free lunches that are offered in the
classroom training courses?
A: You will get something better, because you can make your own lunch. ;<)
