Does MECA host Seminars throughout the U.S.A?

Yes, depending on instructor availability, we are able to host a

seminar/workshop anywhere in the country or internationally.

However, we also do offer online seminars as well.

What is a MECA Online Seminar?

A MECA Online Seminar is a presentation, conference or

workshop that is delivered entirely over the Internet.

No telephone connection is needed, and you do not need

to download any special software. You simply connect to a

private link that will be emailed to you and access the

seminar online through your computer.

How does a MECA Online Seminar work?

During a MECA Online Seminar, the presenter speaks on

a topic in his or her area of expertise. MECA Online

Seminars are presented in a special browser window

that features a slide show presentation in one panel and

sound and playback controls in another panel. If the seminar

is one that includes video, this will be presented in another

panel just above the sound and playback controls.

No special software needs to be downloaded to watch a MECA  Online Seminar. You simply need a web browser and Windows  Media Player, both of which are typically already included on

most personal computers (PC's), or can be downloaded from the Internet for free.

The seminar can be viewed on a single computer screen or be projected onto a larger one for a group setting.

How do I ask the presenter questions during a MECA Online Seminar?

You can submit a question at any time during the live seminar by clicking on the "Ask" icon near the top left-hand portion of the computer screen. A separate window (a web form) will pop up on your screen, where you can type in your question. After you click Submit, your question will go to our moderator who will relay questions from participants to the presenter(s) during selected portions of the seminar.

Please note that the "Ask" icon will bring up an email client in place of the web form when the presentation is not live.

How do I advance the slides?

The slides are presented one at a time as the presenter goes through them. They will advance automatically whenever the presenter moves onto the next slide. Copies of the slides are typically e-mailed to you after each MECA Online Seminar.

If the slides seem to be stuck, not advancing or are out of sync with the presenter's speech during a live seminar, please try refreshing your browser.

When will I receive the connection instructions/link ?

Three days prior to the MECA Online Seminar of your choice, you will receive an email from MECA with the link to the online seminar. You will also receive an email reminder the morning of the MECA Online Seminar with the same information.

Please be sure to enable emails coming in from MECA.

I never received the email or any correspondence that contained the information for the online seminar for which I registered - what should I do?

We send all information regarding access to the online seminars via email. These emails are sent to the email address that was given at the time of registration. If you never received the email at this address, please check your spam or junk mail folder. If you still cannot locate the email, contact MECA by email at info@mecatraining.com or by phone 1-800-611-6584 or 208-892-3030.

May I give the Web link of the MECA Online Seminar to a colleague for viewing from a different location?

No, the link to a MECA Online Seminar cannot be shared or used more than once, as it is sold as a single connection. Once you connect to the presentation via the private link, no one else can use that link to connect to the presentation from a different computer.

Can I record the live presentation of the MECA Online Seminar?

Due to copyright laws, recording the presentation is not allowed.

I will have more than one person viewing the MECA Online Seminar - can I photocopy the handout for the other participants?

You are allowed to make as many photocopies of seminar handouts as you need for other participants.

What is your cancellation policy?

All cancellations need to be submitted to MECA by email to info@mecatraining.com or by calling 208.892.3030. Up until the week prior to the MECA Online Seminar, you may cancel your registration and receive a refund, minus a cancellation fee of $25.00. If you cancel your registration less than one week prior to the scheduled seminar date, you will be charged the full registration fee.

Do you offer Continuing Education Credits for MECA Online Seminars?

At this time we do not offer any Continuing Education Credits for any of our programs. If you would like to see CEU's offered for future programs, please include your comments in the electronic evaluation you will receive shortly after the program, or email your comments to info@mecatraining.com
