Where This is an online course.

When Tuesday, 7:00pm - 9:00pm from 2nd June 2020 until 21st July 2020 for 8 weeks.

Cost The full fee is £0.00.

During the course

This is an online course which will be taught in real time using a video platform (usually Google Meet), supported by other online resources. To ensure you get the most out of the course and can fully participate in the sessions you will interact with your tutor and other students through speaking,
listening and the chat function, as well as being able to see each other via the video links, though you can turn off your camera and microphone at any time. You will therefore need to have access to
either a laptop, computer or portable device (eg tablet or phone) (this ideally needs to be less than 5 years old), with a camera / webcam and microphone, as well as a good broadband / Wi-Fi connection.

Though not a prerequisite, we would advise that you create a separate email account for your online learning prior to the start of the course and let the ACRES' Office and your tutor know the address.This will be more secure and also allow you to share your email address with other students on the course to enhance your learning experience, without disclosing your personal information.

Your tutor will give you further details and information, including any resources or equipment you need, prior to the start of the course.

You will be sent more information about your course, including how to join your online sessions, in
due course.
