How does it work?
The innovative courses is a mixture of interactive e-learning modules and live zoom group sessions. We send the participant an email with their login information. On the course day, they login to zoom for the live and interactive practical sessions. And when prompted, they login to the interactive e-learning platform - so they click on and work through engaging images and content at their own pace online. We then come back together for further live interactive practical zoom sessions. 

​

Participants will require a laptop/desktop (not a phone) and a good internet connection to complete our course. They will also need a quiet place to work from for the duration of the course, which can be from work or home!
