Note: The PowerLearning™
courses are presented by
Industry Specialists and use a
powerful combination of audio,
full-motion video, text and
colourful graphics, providing
the necessary training for
people to grasp and to give them
a road map to practice on their
own. Not all modules/courses
have interactive software
simulations. To pass the exams
we recommend students need to
practice using the actual
software itself. For persons
without access to the software,
we often find that the software
vendors provide trail versions
of software – we recommend you
visit their website for details.
This also further enhances a
person’s preparation for taking
a related exam. The training

terms. The developers reserves
