- Computer mouse
- ClosetCADPro installed, tested, and CAD key set up
- Zoom installed, tested
- If you do not have the Zoom invites, e-mail Katie Black (kblack@calclosets.com) prior to the start of the sessions
If using an iPad or similar to run two screens (if you do not have duel monitors), have Zoom installed on there too. This will also require a way to access the Zoom link from the second device.

Learner Setup
To get the most from the corporate-led CAD training, it is strongly advised to have a manager or veteran designer available to answer questions and physically assist during the live session. Therefore, taking the training from a showroom or office is recommended.
Managers are responsible for managing any details or technical problems that can’t be addressed by the facilitator.
If attendee(s) must join remotely, ensure that you are fully set up, comfortable with the technology, and have a way to contact managers if necessary.
There will be a 30-minute break each day of training. The break is typically around 11:15am PST (give or take) so please plan meals accordingly. Be aware that this may change based on the pace of the session.
