Online Learning
On occasions there may be a reason for us to complete your learning online. If this is the case it is delivered through a package called Microsoft Teams. A tutor will be delivering the session and will be on hand to guide you through the course step by step. Your tutor will send a link to the online course for you to join the session to the email address you have provided at least 3 hours before the start of your course. Detailed instructions on how to access Microsoft Teams can be found here:
