This is an interactive teaching session and it is expected that delegates will be
in a quiet environment in which they can use a camera and a microphone to
communicate with the rest of the group. Inability to communicate with
others during the sessions may lead to the course not being successfully
completed.
All delegates must have their own booking made through the Learning and Development Centre website to join the meeting. The name on your Zoom account should be recognisable as the name on your booking. If we cannot identify delegates they may not be admitted to the session, or certificates may not be issued after the event.
