Information about classroom equipment
Our courses are usually held on Windows devices. However, we are happy to provide you with an Apple computer in Zurich, Bern, and Basel upon request. Since we have to order Mac licenses separately, please let us know as soon as possible by emailing info@digicomp.ch if you would like to use a Mac.
Of course, you are also welcome to bring your own laptop.
If you are participating virtually, we recommend using an additional monitor (not just a laptop) so that you can follow the lesson and participate fully.

«Adobe CC» and «Affinity Designer» software
«Adobe Creative Cloud» and «Affinity Designer» software will be made available to you without restriction in the course rooms during the course.
If you are participating virtually, you can work on your own device. Please let us know if you do not have your own «Adobe Creative Cloud» and/or «Affinity Designer» license. In this case, we will be happy to provide you with the software via remote access for the duration of the course. 
The remote environment will be set up on a Windows device; an Apple device is not an option here. Unfortunately, it is not possible to use this environment beyond the course period.
