What we expect from participants

  • The course will be taught using Microsoft Teams.
  • Please join the meeting at least 5 minutes before the start time to avoid disruptions.
  • If any files need to be downloaded and opened, ensure this is done before joining the meeting so you’re prepared to follow the exercises.
  • At the start of the lesson, please turn on your microphone and camera, introduce yourself, and say hello. Once the lesson begins, keep your microphone muted but leave your camera on. This helps the trainer assess your understanding. There is nothing worse for the trainer than speaking to an audience they can’t see.

  • Feel free to ask questions at any time.
  • If the trainer requests you to raise your hand on Teams to indicate you’ve completed an exercise, please do so promptly to help them decide when to proceed.
  • We welcome your interaction throughout the course. Your contribution will enhance your own experience as well as that of others. Thank you.
