Learn their version of the software.

Learn your version of the software.

Work on generic projects that may not make sense to you.

Work on actual projects that you need to do.

Try to arrange your schedule around the class times available.

Schedule the training around your schedule.

Hope that the class covers the subjects that you will need to know.

Learn only what you need to know to get your work done.

Learn things about the software that you may never use.

Because you are learning only what you need to know you will retain more of what you learn.

Possibly sharing a computer with a stranger in a class of 10 or more students at different skill levels.

As the only student you can ask questions as you need to, in a comfortable environment.

After the training, you try to put what you have learned to work on a project you need to do, when you can find the time to do it. Hopefully you will still remember everything by then.

Your project is well on the way to being done! You have notes on what you have done and you have acquired a working knowledge of the software that will stay with you.
