Instructor-Led Virtual Training Support
General
When you participate in a MathWorks virtual training, you’ll receive live, instructor-led guidance with real-time opportunities to ask questions and receive support. You’ll learn through hands-on practice using the latest software and have ongoing access to course materials via Mimeo Digital.
Training sessions are delivered remotely by MathWorks instructors through Webex, which supports interactive audio and video conferencing. ReadyTech is used for the virtual classroom environment and features preinstalled MATLAB and supporting software.
Before training starts, your instructor will lead a mandatory system check to ensure you can access Mimeo, Webex, and ReadyTech. Each class day lasts 8 hours and includes a 1-hour lunch break.
Recommended Setup
- Computer: A primary computer (laptop or desktop) with a stable “high speed” internet connection (5 Mbps or above) is required.
- Monitor: A dual-monitor setup is highly recommended for ease of following class instruction, use of the software, and access to digital materials. Alternatively, you can use two computers connected to the internet.
- Phone: Landline and computer audio calls are supported for the voice portion of the training. Use of a headset with a microphone or speaker is recommended.
- Sound: Windows-supported stereo sound card with speakers
- Browser: HTML5-friendly browser (Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari) with JavaScript enabled
MathWorks Support (for enrollment-related questions)
For system support (Mimeo, Webex, or ReadyTech), please refer to each corresponding section below.
Mimeo – Digital Materials
You will access your digital manual for training through Mimeo Digital using a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. To log on, visit the MathWorks Mimeo Digital page.
Helpful Information
- For the best user experience, we recommend using Google Chrome as your web browser.
- Due to restrictions with Internet Explorer, not all content can be made available offline. It is, however, accessible while you’re connected to the internet.
- Please let the content download; it could take up to a full minute.
- Access the content prior to the class and enable offline access to prevent any technical difficulties when onsite.
- After 60 minutes of inactivity, you will receive a prompt asking if you are still there. If there is no response after five minutes, you will be logged out.
- Printing of your digital materials is available, as well as one year of access.
For technical support, please contact a live agent through the 24/7 chat (located at the bottom right-hand corner of the MathWorks Mimeo Digital page).
You can test access to Webex from your network. Note: The test link is not the link for the class.

ReadyTech – Virtual Classroom
Through this platform you will access a virtual machine running on Microsoft Azure® for software-based courses or a physical machine for hardware-based courses. You will receive an access code to log in to your virtual machine or physical machine prior to training. Use the ReadyTech seat login page and enter the access code to reach the landing page during the system check and class. Once you access the virtual machine you will need to enter a username and password, which will be provided along with your access code.
On the landing page, you will be presented with two options for connecting to the machine:
- Using the Remote Desktop Connection app with the IP address provided on the landing page (this option is available only for virtual machines):
- Windows: RDP is typically installed on the Windows platform.
- Mac: Download RDP for Mac from the App Store.
- Linux: Remmina is commonly used.
- Using the “Connect to Lab” button on the landing page to access the machine directly from your browser (this option is available for both virtual machines and physical machines); no additional software or installation is necessary
Two hours of on-demand time will be available during your training. This time can be used for any activity outside of the designated training start and end times prior to the last day.
