FAQs about Online Live Learning at Scott Powers Productions:
Q.
So how does this Online Live Learning Thing Work?
A.
It's very simple: If you can't physically be in our
classes, our cameras can be there for you! In our classes, along with our students, we have
video cameras where you would be sitting if YOU were actually in class and at other places in
the classroom. We then send the picture out to you live via streaming video, much like a live
television show, to your computer.
Q.
Do I get the full benefit of the class at home as if I were physically in the class?
A.
Almost! Our classes are interactive; our Instructors will give you substantial
feedback and personal guidance. And when appropriate, you will also be given
homework assignments designed specifically for our online students. Plus, you get
the benefit of taking our classes in the comfort of your living room and eating
popcorn at the same time!
Q.
If I take an online class in New York City, can I apply what I learn to where I live?
A.
Most times you can! Almost every course we teach can be applied to you getting work at the
local level. It’s a perfect combination: you get the best big city training with the heavy
hitters and then you will be shown how to apply it right in your own area. Again, if you have
any questions on this, email us at:
online@scottpowers.com
Q.
How is the technical quality of the live streaming video?
A.
We use state-of-the-art equipment to give you the best possible picture and sound that is
available. Remember, we don’t see you sitting there in your jammies, either!
Q.
What happens if I miss a class?
A.
Part of the excitement of the classes here are that they are sent out LIVE from New York and
your password is time sensitive to the length of the program, so we encourage you to make as
many classes as possible.
Q.
What happens when a course is over?
A.
We don’t love you and leave you. We encourage you to stay in touch with us. We have always
taken an extended family approach with our students and that certainly goes to those we’ve met
online as well.
Q.
Is it safe for me to submit my credit card information over the internet when I register for online classes?
A.
Absolutely. We use cutting-edge encryption software to make sure no one
can see your credit card information besides us.
Q.
What kind of requirements do I need for my computer?

Pentium-class or better PC
