How much will depend on the gravity of the event: If it's your wedding, they'll move mountains to get you off. If you got football tickets, probably not so much. It's much easier to request a specific time off (a day or two) if it falls when you'll be doing IOE because they have more flexibility scheduling that. I wanted a couple of days off to go see Jimmy Buffett and they said no problem.
Just to piggy back. I had a fairly important event that they completely wrote my training schedule around. They're great people.

As to the computer training, if you have a windows based system you're much better off than an apple. I know of ways to get the training done on an apple, but its not as easy as Windows.

Welcome aboard!
