Prerequisites

Specific operating conditions for remote sessions
- Have a PC equipped with a microphone, webcam and, if possible, a headset for greater comfort. Note: To blur or hide the view from behind, background screens are available in Zoom or Teams.
- A good Internet connection, tested before the session.
- Locate in a quiet, isolated area; switch to “not available” status in Teams; close your email access and mute your phone to avoid distraction during the session.
- To avoid off-topic discussions during the session, participants from the same organisation should not be grouped together in the same room, but rather at their own desks. Virtual sub-groups will be set up specifically for the exercises, which will also allow for mixed groups to be created.
- The webcam and microphone must be open during remote qualification/certification exams. It may also be necessary for us to check that you are the only one in the room.
- We ask that you connect at least 5 minutes before the beginning of the session.
Pedagogy
The teaching method used is based on practical experience around a case study that supports each concept developed during the course. At the end of the course, participants put into practice all the concepts developed during the course through a role-playing audit.
The training is highly participative and leaves more room for practice than theory.
Evaluation mode
- Knowledge test (MCQ)
- Assessment by observation of a face-to-face audit on request
Course materials
- Participants receive the presentation and a support pack for the exercises.
