Zoom
Remote training is carried out using the Zoom platform. This tool allows free communication during the course (between the trainer and other participants) and displaying a training presentation with supporting materials.
Before the training, you will receive an email with a link to the Zoom platform. It will be an invitation to the virtual group. The website will have the option to DOWNLOAD & RUN ZOOM. Click to download the application.
Downloading Zoom is required to ensure better quality of communication. The day before the training, check that the application is working properly. If everything works correctly, log into Zoom 15 minutes before training.
The trainer is the host of the meeting. If you can not login, make sure that host has started this meeting.
