Getting Online and Course Involvement

Online courses are a combination of online videos and other information plus tutorials/meetings via Zoom and so require a specific time commitment.

Tutorials are shown in AU (AEST) time and CA time (MT) depending on the season. The timing is an effort to fit groups from Australia and North America. In order to coordinate your time please refer to a time converter such as Time Buddy

Students will require the following:
  • A quiet learning space with table/desk for completion of exercises
  • Access to a laptop with camera, microphone/earpieces, or headset
  • Software access: Zoom, PDF Reader, Video player, and Internet Browser
  • Secure Internet access with sufficient bandwidth to stream live video
  • Please refer to a time converter to find the tutorial times in your country

For planning purposes our training calendar is presented in detail below.

Please note:  Tutorials are shown in various time zones such as AU (AEST) time and CA time (MT), UK and HK . The timing is an effort to fit groups from various areas. In order to coordinate your time please refer to a time converter such as Time Buddy
