EVC Revalidation – Zoom

EVC Revalidation

Only available to those who have attended initial EVC Training within the last 3 years

Our EVC revalidation training is principally delivered using a remote set-up. Since March 2020 we have delivered our EVC training via a two-part remote blended approach, this was originally out of necessity, however, the feedback we have received is this is the preferable method for our schools.

It enables:

• attendees to save time travelling;
• attendees to reduce their carbon impact;
• schools to reduce costs on supply cover;
• attendees to feel safe by not mixing with people outside of their immediate circle, reducing the risks associated with COVID;
• allows us to be flexible with cancellation or postponement due to last-minute issues arising in schools.

DELIVERY METHOD:

The live facilitated update training will be delivered as a classroom session online via Zoom. This can be accessed via a computer, laptop and tablet. (3 hours)

Due to IQA and EQA requirements, you must have a working camera and microphone.
