3 Tips for Getting the Most from Live Virtual Classroom Training:
A Quiet Space
Where possible, it’s best to find a quiet spot for your training. Setting up in a room free from noise or distractions is best.
If this is not possible for you, using earphones can help you to focus.Sit Comfortably
Although we take breaks during training, we recommend choosing a setting that will help you to stay focused and comfortable throughout the sessions.
- Choose a seat that supports you well.
- Position your screen at eye level.
- Adjust your screen brightness and volume to your preferred levels.
- Keep a glass of water within reach.
- Make sure you have stationery handy for any notes you may wish to take.
- Visit the bathroom before training begins.Log on 5 minutes early
When it’s time for training to begin, your tutor will admit you to the session. However, to avoid a last-minute scramble grabbing the link and getting set up, we recommend connecting a few minutes early.
