*Remote Courses*
We are offering remote training courses as our primary means of training at present. The only thing you need to attend is a computer with an internet connection!
We have a copy of CAMS training environment you can connect to. You can spend a few hours running through different aspects of training with a tutor to guide you and answer any questions. We’ll use screen sharing facilities to see what you are working on and demonstrate exercises for you to repeat.
Remote training is best offered on a 1 to 1 basis but we are happy to provide group training depending on needs. Please contact us if this might be of interest to you. For more information please see our How does Remote Training work? section.

How does CAMS remote training work?
- Connect from any computer with internet access
- No requirement to have CAMS installed
- Join to our dedicated CAMS training system using a simple shortcut from your desktop
We will use either MS Teams or Zoom to share training materials and demonstrate exercises. You will then have the chance to complete the exercises in our ‘training’ CAMS instance – separate to your live CAMS.
Courses will be split across multiple days with 2 - 3 hour sessions.
All trainees must complete a ‘connection test’ prior to attending a remote training course to confirm they can connect OK. Typically this test takes 10 - 15 minutes and is best completed at least 2 weeks prior to the training in case any issues need to be raised with your organisation's IT team.
