Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to prepare anything in advance?
It is helpful for your own learning to bring examples of documents you have written and/or those which you are expected to produce, and we encourage all course participants to do this.
What does Live, Online training entail?
We use Zoom to run our live, interactive online sessions, and each class is secured with password access so only the registered participants can join. We ask you to keep your camera on if at all possible.

And if the course is in-person in the classroom?
In-classroom courses are paperless, so printed course notes will not be distributed to learners. Where possible we will share soft copies of notes with you ahead of the course session. However, you are welcome to use your laptop or tablet throughout the course and print notes that are shared with you by the trainer.
