What to expect from the session
- This is an online webinar - your camera and microphone will be off.
- The session is interactive, using polls and the chat . The trainer will guide you through how to take part—but there’s no pressure to join in if you’d prefer to just listen.
- There will be a Q&A at the end where you can ask questions using the chat.
- It will last two hours, including a short break.
- The session will be recorded, but not the Q&A, so you can rewatch it later if you join late, leave early, or need to step away from your device.
