## Frequently asked questions

### How are virtual sessions run?

Live, instructor-led sessions on Microsoft Teams or Zoom, with breakout rooms for exercises, the same materials as the classroom and short breaks every 90 minutes. You need a stable internet connection and a webcam.

### Can this course be run for our team only?

Yes. We deliver it privately, online or at your premises, and use examples from your own systems. In-house delivery is usually more cost-effective for six or more participants.

### How much does it cost?

Fees depend on format, location and group size. Send an enquiry and we will reply with dates and a quote within one working day.
