FAQs for Virtual Format
What training platform will be used?
The session will use the
Zoom Conferencing
solution as the training platform. The solution works with virtually all computers, and sign-up is free.
How do I hear the audio portion of my online training?
You have two options. The first option is to listen through your computer’s audio system. The second option is to dial in to the online training session using your phone. Follow
these instructions
on the Zoom website to test your audio.
Can I do a test meeting to familiarize myself with Zoom?
Yes you can, follow
these instructions
on the Zoom website.
Can I participate using my tablet or mobile device?
Yes, both options are available for participants to join the webinar.
How early may I log in to my online training session?
You should log in at least 15 minutes prior to the start of the webinar to ensure that you are able to connect properly.
Do we need our video on while in session?
Having your video on is very important as it will lead to an enhanced learning experience for yourself as well as others in the program. Using your video on the Zoom platform will allow the virtual session to be as effective as meeting in-person. Without the benefit of body language and other non-verbal cues, your communication and experience will be limited.
Will there be program staff available in case of questions and to provide additional support?
Yes, in addition to your facilitator(s), CPA Alberta will also have program staff available to ensure as seamless of an experience as possible.
What are some tools that the facilitator(s) will use to keep the group engaged in a virtual learning environment?
Tools such as the use of breakout rooms, polls, whiteboards, and chats will be used throughout the program to help replicate the interaction that may exist in an in-person session. As well, activities such as ice-breakers may be incorporated into the delivery.
Is there any pre-work for the Executive Programs?
Depending on the program, there are different levels of pre-work that you’ll need to complete several weeks before the start of the sessions. For the Controller’s Management Executive Program and the CFO’s Leadership Executive Program, there are a number of self-assessments, along with other assessments, which will involve a few of your colleagues and/or supervisor(s). The time spent on these assessments are not very long (on average about 15 minutes for each), but will need to be done in advance. There will also be some pre-reading (60-90 minutes) before the first day of each of the Executive Programs. You will be advised on the timing of pre-work upon registering.
Will there still be the opportunity to meet with a coach during the Controller’s Management and/or CFO Leadership Executive Programs?
Yes, just as in the in-person sessions, you will receive an hour of one-on-one executive coaching during these sessions and they will be scheduled as conveniently as possible.
Will there be breaks during the day?
There will be frequent short breaks throughout each day, along with a break for lunch.
