We endeavour to make slides available in advance to help you prepare. In consultation with our facilitators, we will notify participants of any significant changes in documents uploaded to Canvas
- We no longer provide disposable cups; ceramic cups are provided. We encourage you to bring your own ‘keep cup’ and water bottle with you if you prefer.
Mask wearing is no longer mandatory in classrooms however, if you feel more comfortable wearing a mask please do and our Associates have been advised of the same.
