Thanks everyone. It looks like this is an issue with no easy resolution. I'll be honest, I'd be fine with a remote instructor, I don't think it'd be quite as good of an experience as an in class instructor, but if they can make the experience accessible for me that's fine. I personally think that'd be more difficult than not but what do I know. I guess I'm once again in the market for a training center willing to work with me. Other people in my company use an outfit called Global Knowledge, so I reached out to them with my needs, and their response is a business version of "umm, duh, we don't know."

The instructor was in another province, however I was able to go in early to install Window-Eyes on the provided desktop and in my VM environment for the course. The on-site tech was there to help me get everything set up; which took less than half an hour. They also provided the materials to me in searchable PDF so I had them available on the desktop. I guess the next course I take might result in that they might have taken the next step that you describe: YAY! Sounds like a lot of fun; NOT!

The training center used to be very traditional with these courses, a local instructor and for labs they had a workstation in front of you with a few Hyper-V virtual machines. With a little Window-Eyes tweaking it went very well. But now, half the time the instructors are remote, and they have some strange way of running the labs off a central server that doesn’t use traditional remote desktop. I went through this before with New Horizons in my area, and even after showing them how to make accommodations for me, they just didn’t want to talk about it or even consider it. So I went to this other place and now that they’ve been bought out they’re starting to do the same thing. So, I’m wondering if anyone has a good experience with a training center they’d be willing to pass on? I’m all about technical books and setting up test labs yourself, but sometimes there’s still a good place for a good vendor training course. Thanks.
