We are delighted to confirm your place on your Physical Education and School Sport qualification.
Pre-course Checklist
In order to ensure a positive learning environment and a smooth start to the course, learners are required to:
- Have access to good Wi-Fi
- Have access to a laptop. A tablet is acceptable but functionality for interactive elements of the course can be limited. The device must have access to a microphone as the workshop will be interactive
- Have access to an environment with limited distractions which is conducive to learning
- Log into the virtual classroom ahead of the course (10 minutes ahead of time if possible)
- Contribute to discussions and activities
- Have access to a pen and paper to take notes.
From our experience, it is recommended that learners use Google Chrome rather than Safari or Edge. Please ensure you have no ad blockers as this may limit your ability to hear sound – sometimes work laptops have security restrictions which may prevent you accessing some of the features. Where possible, a personal laptop or tablet might be advisable.
