About Webinar

A webinar is a personal training with one of the iWorQ technicians. Webinars offer the participants both visual and auditory access to the presenter and the featured program. The presenter will share their knowledge and information about the program. The participants will listen and respond to the presenter through their computer and by phone. These types of online meetings have a much higher impact than simply reading material.  No travel is required and the site registration allows up to 15 participants at a time.
