An hour is ring-fenced for lunch, but timings can vary.Designed to be interactive, responsive and engaging, our virtual (live) courses are led by trainers who are experts in their fields, with real-life industry experience.The benefit of the virtual classroom is that delegates enjoy all the benefits of ‘in-real-time' training, but with no travel requirements or overnight stays.Regular comfort breaks, team exercises and break-out sessions keep delegates focused and reinforce learning.Can you attend virtual workshops from outside the UK?Yes, however you will be issued with a digital workshop manual in advance of the workshop, not a printed manual.When will I receive my joining instructions?You will receive joining instructions two weeks before the start of your workshop.
