These are interactive teaching sessions and it is expected that delegates will be in a quiet environment in which they can use a camera and a microphone to communicate with the rest of the group.  Inability to communicate with others during the sessions may lead to the course not being successfully completed.

If you no longer require your place on this course place cancel it so that there is availability for other delegates.  To cancel a booking please log into your Learning and Development Centre account, go to the Centre course list and click on the orange box next to the course name.
