Sample Data
If you need the sample dataset for all FME Desktop training materials, download it here - Full Dataset (~360MB). *You do not need to download the sample data unless your instructor tells you to (for example, if you cannot connect to your virtual classroom).*
Connecting to Online Classes
There are two parts to an Online class - your instructor will be presenting the class via GoToWebinar, and you will be using Windows Remote Desktop to access a virtual computer that is configured with all of the software and data you will need to follow along.
GoToWebinar - Registration and login information will be emailed to you a day or two prior to your class. You need to follow the link provided, and register yourself for the class. GoToWebinar rarely causes technical issues.
Amazon/Remote Desktop - is used for your own personal work within the class. Heads Up - you may have problems using Remote Desktop if your network is highly secured, or if you work at a government office or institution. Please test your connection as soon as you receive your login credentials (a day or two before your class). Even better, check with your IT department as soon as possible for known Remote Desktop issues. Specific tests and troubleshooting tips will be included in your pre-class emails.
TIP: Get the most out your online class experience by using a dual monitor setup - one screen for your work, and one screen to watch the instructor or refer to the Training Manual.
Also - if you cannot connect to the Amazon machine, you can use your own computer, provided you have a licensed copy of the relevant version of FME, and download the Sample Data.
