Conditions
- To successfully participate, you will need your own computer, with camera and microphone, and reliable internet access. All participants are required to have the camera on at all times during the training. For effective participation in breakout rooms and to ensure attendance is correctly recorded, please do not share a computer.
- Ensure you are available to attend the FULL TWO consecutive days as this is a requirement of your certification to deliver the program. We are unable to provide you with an attendance certificate if you do not fully attend. If you miss a portion of the training, you will be required to re-book and complete another TWO DAYS of training.
- If you are attending from interstate or overseas, we recommend this handy time converter to check the exact time of the online training in your city.
- Please practice self-care and be mindful of your personal circumstances, including any current grief. If you have experienced a major loss or change recently, be aware that the training contains references to topics that some people may find upsetting. We recommend attending 2-12 months post a significant life event. Please contact us if you are unsure about this and would like to speak to a team member.
- Once you have registered, you will receive a link to some pre-reading and a pre-training survey. Please complete the survey prior to joining the training as this contains important information relevant for your Trainer.
