Information about room equipment
Our courses are usually held on Windows devices. Since Adobe Acrobat DC offers greater functionality on Windows than on Mac, we recommend completing this course on a Windows device, whether on-site or virtually. Of course, we can provide you with an Apple computer in Zurich, Bern, and Basel if you wish. Please let us know in advance by emailing info@digicomp.ch.
You are also welcome to bring your own laptop.
If participating virtually, we recommend using an additional monitor (not just a laptop) so that you can follow the lesson and participate fully.

Adobe CC software
Adobe Creative Cloud 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 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.
