• Time:   The length of the workshop is 2 hours with a 10 minute refreshment interval.
• Delivery is via online using Zoom.   Training slides will be presented by the Facilitator and supporting documentation will be forwarded after the workshop.
• Technical requirements:  For optimum access to the workshop, it is recommended that a Laptop/PC/Mac with camera and microphones are used by all participants.
