Important information regarding online training courses:
For every online course, the practical component must be reserved separately. The practical sessions are always conducted at the client's location. Without a correctly booked practical component, the certificate will not be valid. Each participant must register via our website at least 2 days in advance. This registration is mandatory for attendance tracking and for the timely receipt of all resources provided during the course.
To participate in the online training course, each trainee must possess:
- A valid email address
- A device with an internet connection (a large-screen device is recommended, as smartphone screens are typically too small to adequately view the course content).
- A functional webcam.
The webcam must remain active throughout the entire session to ensure participants' presence and engagement in the training. During specific examination periods, a screen share may also be requested.
The practical session can be conveniently scheduled via email, telephone, or through the booking system on our website.
