- Put a sign on your door or find a quiet place to join the session from. It's important you are given time to focus on the training without distractions where possible as we will be covering a lot of core content throughout the session. but don't worry we have scheduled in breaks so you can grab a cup of coffee and be back in time for the next bit of training!
