Delivery

This is a one-day virtual classroom course. 9.00 am to 4.00 pm.

The course will use a mix of presentations and interactive sessions.

There will be regular breaks, including one for lunch. 

Virtual classroom programmes have limited places, so you can ask questions and get involved in the training from the comfort of your home or work. The BPCA virtual classroom is accessible via Zoom.

To take part, you need:

Smartphones will all so work, however the session is not optimised for very small screens.

This is a training course, not a webinar. Your tutor will be able to see you, and you can ask questions face-to-face throughout the session. Your tutor will ask questions to check your understanding, so you must have your camera and microphone on during the teaching.
