Attendees will need to download a free version of Zoom in advance of the session (available for Mac or Windows).
• You will need to join the training from a laptop or desktop computer in a quiet place, where you can activate your microphone to join discussions.
• Headphones are recommended as they cut out background noise when listening to the presentation and discussions.
• There will be a technical check at the start of the day before the content starts, to ensure that everyone is connected ok. Any further technical issues will need to be fixed during the breaks.
