How to register for Live Virtual Training:

The registration process is the same. Just visit our on-line listing and search available classes for Virtual Training classes. If you are part of our MAIT program then enter your MAIT Coupon Code in the appropriate field.

After registration you will receive an email with further details on preparing for the class, including access to the training files, and instructions for joining a test session with the instructor as well as the main Mastercam Live Virtual Training session.

What training application is used for the live virtual training?

We use an industry leading on-line training application with live video of the instructor, the instructor’s Mastercam session, live chat, live audio between the instructor and students.You will see the instructors screen during presentations and you will have the ability to share your screen with the instructor if you have a question or are asking for assistance.

How will I get a training manual and files?

Prior to the beginning of the class you will receive access to a PDF version of the training manual. You will also receive a link to download the training files and the Mastercam Learning Edition. Due to the size of the files and the pace of the class, it is important that the files are downloaded and properly in place prior to the start of class.

What do I need to prepare on the computer I'll be using?

Ideally participants will utilize their company provided Mastercam work station for the live virtual training. The hardware requirements for Mastercam as well as the meeting software are typically more than a standard home computer can handle. Take a look at this short guide to help you plan properly.

Computer preparation (Prior to Training)

  • The latest release of Mastercam installed on the computer the participant will be using
    • If you need to use a computer that does not have your company’s Mastercam license on it you can download and use the free Mastercam Home Use License. It has the same functionality without the ability to post out code. (Note: the Learning Edition of Mastercam does require hardware capable of running Mastercam. Most home computers do not have the graphics card required. Please test prior to class to avoid falling behind and/or being unable to participate.)
  • The computer being used will need internet access with speeds capable of participating in live virtual training.
  • Phone or ability to dial in through a computer with a microphone and speakers. This will be to hear the instructor as well as ask questions. (Note: if you plan to use your computer for audio vs. a phone, we suggest a headset to eliminate feedback from the microphone.)
  • Strongly Suggested: 2nd monitor to allow for watching instructor presentations on one screen while using Mastercam on the second. You will also need it for viewing the PDF of the book on one screen.
  • Computer video (optional) for the instructor to view you. This is to continue the interactiveness of our Mastercam live virtual training.
