What To Bring

Hardware

You MUST have a personal or work laptop/desktop with full administrative rights and unrestricted access to the Internet.  This is because you are required to (a) install software and (b) upload files to SP’s PoliteMall.  Without such a device, you will not be able to complete the required tasks required, and unable to meet the requirements for course completion.

iPads and tablets can be used for viewing the e-learning contents, but they are NOT able to replace the laptop/desktop for the mandatory hands-on tasks.

GSIB laptops are strongly NOT recommended as such laptops are not able to facilitate file uploads and installation of additional software by the users themselves.

Licensed Software

1. To complete the required project, you may also be required to pay for secure hosting and/or OpenAI API keys.
2. You must have access to MS Teams to participate in the online seminar and forum.
