NBN is now organizing classroom hybrid training courses. You can choose in the registration form to take it online or come to our offices. Practically, some things are therefore changing:
- The training days will be split into 2 days. When registering, please indicate whether you are following 1 day or both days. You can indicate this at the bottom under 'date' in the registration form.
- Are you participating online? We will be working in MS Teams. We ask that you always activate your camera to promote interactivity. Turn on your microphone only when you want to say something, to minimize background noise.
- Do you have a colleague who would also like to take the training? He/she can definitely still join!
- A sandwich lunch will be provided for participants attending the classroom training.
- Below is an overview of training times:
Part 1: 09:00 - 17:00
Part 2: 09:00 - 15:00
