The theory component of the course can be completed through a flexible e-learning platform, allowing participants to cover essential background knowledge at their own pace.

This approach significantly reduces the in-person training time, condensing the practical component into a focused half-day session, which typically begins at midday.

This format not only offers greater flexibility but also ensures that the on-site training can be more practically focused, enhancing overall learning outcomes.

Please note: It is a mandatory requirement that the e-learning module is completed and successfully passed prior to the course start date, as this foundational knowledge is essential for effective participation in the in-person session.
