There are three ways that you may cancel your VTC Online University account. Please be aware that cancellation requests should be received 2 business days prior to the next renewal date so that VTC Customer Service is able to remove the periodic billing for your account from the credit card system before the account automatically renews. An account may be canceled by doing any of the following:

3) Call VTC Online University Customer Service within the US at 1408-800-4130 and a representative will cancel your account for you. You may also contact a VTC Office.

Cancellation requests will be honored as of the day they are received.

* Cancellation requests received by email or by phone after 4:30 PM on Friday (US Eastern Time) will not be processed until Monday morning. Cancellations received through the website will be processed automatically by the system regardless of day of week or time.

There are two ways that you may update your billing information.

Cancel Your Account Online
Navigate to My Account | Cancel Account. Then wait until your account expires to log back in and renew the account using your new payment information: My Account | Renew Account.

* The Cancel link will only appear for an account with active billing, while the Renew account will only appear for an account that has no active billing and is past its expiration date.

The VTC Online University service is priced in US Dollars for all customers worldwide as the Online University services are provided from our Head Office in Virginia, USA. Charges will appear on your credit card statement in your local currency.

While the name and address are required fields on the online signup page, the most critical pieces of data for the processing of the form are the card number, expiration date and CVV2 or security code.

Please be aware that if someone uses the same card number to attempt to sign up within the same 30 minute period, the system locks out that number as a security measure in case the card has been compromised. This will produce a "Duplicate Transaction" error message.

CD's and DVD's are only available in India.

USB is no longer available.

To view or videos you need to have an active Internet connection, web browser and Adobe Flash Player.

iPad users can play movies via a web browser.

Yes. You can add sub-users to a multi-user account and restrict by user name and password. You may also assign one generic username and password for all users and restrict by IP address or IP range.

Once you have a multi-user account set up, we can activate the IP restriction feature.

Once activated, from the main menu choose My Account | Edit Account | IP Restrict

You will be taken to a page which permits you to assign IP restrictions allowing your sub-users to only access the training from a particular IP address or IP range.

To enable it, select the first box and enter the IP address value. To restrict to a single IP address, enter the same address in both boxes.

To restrict a range, enter the starting IP in the first box and the ending IP in the second box.

We have several courses that are closed captioned. You can see a complete list of them by navigating here.

"Your user name (custserv) is now signed into VTC in 2 locations. Do you want to sign off the other locations and continue?"

This message usually occurs if one attempts to log in after a login session is closed abnormally (i.e. browser closed without using Logout button, computer crash, browser crash, etc). The message should never prevent you from logging in. Click Yes I want to continue and the stale session will be removed.

Also, you may only log into VTC from one viewing method at a time. I you are logged in through a web browser and attempt to log in via the VTC Player, you will get the message that you were already logged in and vice versa.

The user ID must be unique to the entire VTC system, not just a single account. You would need to modify any username that receives that error message.

Log into your account.

Change your password and click Update Profile to save your changes.

My Account allows multi-user admins to edit administrative information, including contact information and the admin password. Click Save Changes to Account when you are finished updating any information here.

To change passwords for sub-user accounts or to edit sub-user details, navigate to My Account | Subuser Management button | List sub accounts and choose View Details.

VTC training content is only available as streaming media. Subscribers are neither able nor permitted to download or save any of the content. Subscribers must be both connected to the Internet and to our site through a browser or one of our proprietary media players in order to view the content.

We are not accredited. The VTC Completion Certificate's main purpose is to show that you have successfully viewed an entire course with VTC. Some employers and schools may count completion of VTC courses as credit toward continued learning or self study.

VTC doesn't offer testing which is something you would get through an accredited facility. Most students use our courses to gain the knowledge and then go to a testing facility for accreditation.

VTC is always working diligently on creating updated versions of courses.

Once a qualified author is contracted, It generally takes 2-3 months to produce a course.

You may check the current status of courses on Titles in Development.

VTC technical support does not extend to specific support or one-on-one training for the applications or technology that a subscriber is training on. The training material is produced on a contract basis by authors who are not on the VTC support staff and as such answer by email only, specific questions on their training courses, and at their own discretion.

Please be aware that most VTC courses contain an author video, which contains author contact information. This video is usually the last video within the course and provides viewers the necessary information to contact the author with questions regarding the tutorial. This is usually an email address or website URL.

Additionally, most product pages on VTC.com provide an email address or URL link to reach the author as well.

The "maximum login" option refers to the number of seats a sub-user can access on an account. If the sub-user is provided with a maximum login of 5 - that sub-user could tie up all 5 seats. If the sub user is provided a maximum login of 1 - they may only hold one seat at a given time on the account leaving the remaining 4 open for additional sub-users.

We would suggest setting the maximum at 1 to prevent one sub user from monopolizing all 5 seats unless you wish to have one sub user login to all 5 accounts.

QuickStart! and MasterClass! courses are generally shorter than full courses.

QuickStart! courses are designed to help users get up to speed with a newly available application or concept.

MasterClass! courses are designed to teach more advanced concepts.
