Taking an online class with live interaction with an instructor is now a reality with ACDelco's new Virtual Classroom Training (VCT) sessions. VCTs are a new learning technology that enables participants to engage directly with the instructor, other participants and subject matter experts along with viewing video and animations in a live classroom setting over the Internet.

With VCTs, technicians who may find it difficult to attend traditional classroom training at a specific location will be able to sign up for classes that can be launched directly from their computer.
Upcoming technical VCTs will cover new repair and diagnostic techniques as well as specific instruction on a variety of service issues.
How to Enroll
Log in to www.acdelcotraining.com to enroll in a VCT just as you would for any other training program available through the ACDelco Learning Management System.
Courses can be searched by clicking Menu > Schedule > Search Course Sessions. Enter the desired criteria and click Submit. Select the desired course. The system will list all available sessions of the selected course, including dates and times.
Enrollment in a VTC can be done up to one hour prior to the session start time. If you try to enroll in a session that starts within an hour, you will receive a Past Cutoff Date message and will need to select another session.
What's Needed to Participate
It is important to make sure that the computers and connections used for VCT training meet the minimum requirements necessary to launch a course. To participate in a VCT, you will need:
• PC headset with attached microphone
• Standard Internet broadband connection
• Windows 2000 Professional, Vista or XP
• Internet Explorer 6 or higher
• Adobe Flash Player 8 or higher
• Screen resolution of 1024 x 768
For more information on the requirements for VCT, refer to the VCT User Guide located under Menu > Resources in www.acdelcotraining.com.
