Step-by-step handouts from some of our instructor-led WebVista courses are available online as PDF files. These handouts are for instructors and course site designers. We also have a collection of short online training modules.

These materials have been made available for individual use. You are welcome to print copies for your own personal use to help with working on your Vista site. The materials may not be duplicated or distributed for other purposes.

Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to view and print these handouts.
