HOW IT WILL WORK
Booking confirmation and reminder emails will send you the link for the live interactive sessions (held in Teams) and joining instructions. To join the session, you can click on the link 15 minutes before the session. Once the tutor has started the session they will tell you what to do. The tutor will share his screen with the slides. At the end of the lecture there will be exercises - the tutor will then go through the exercises and the solutions. Questions and responses will also be managed in the chat.
WHAT YOU WILL NEED
A good internet connection, uninterrupted time, camera and microphone enabled on your PC.
Having a computer with two monitors may be beneficial. Before the course, you will need to download Fiji. An email with the instructions will be sent to you.
ATTENDANCE CERTIFICATE ON SURVEY COMPLETION
It is now a requirement that you complete the three short questions in the survey you receive after attending the course. Once you have submitted the survey, you will be sent an email with a link to your attendance certificate. This is to ensure we receive the feedback we need to evaluate and improve our courses. Survey results are downloaded and stored anonymously.
PLEASE NOTE
Where no cost is indicated in the shopping trolley, no deposit is required. However, more than two non-attendances or late cancellations without good reason will be logged and may mean you cannot attend any further MSD training that term.
