Unlike many of our DYW Live sessions, Teachers need not participate, learners will be added to the team directly to participate in the sessions.
The time for delivery will be agreed on a first come first served basis with additional learners (within capacity) welcome to also join if the timings work for them.

- They will require an individual device to work on for the sessions that has a working webcam and microphone to fully engage.
- A suitable, quiet, and distraction free location where they can participate in the lessons.
- A positive attitude towards learning and active engagement in the remote delivery.
Requirements for the school:
- A teacher key contact for the learners needs to be identified. They will be added to the Team so they have oversight, will be kept informed of learner progress and facilitate any in-school support required
- Invigilation by a teacher in the classroom will be required while assessments/exams are occurring. There will also be remote invigilation from the college.
- It is strongly recommended learners complete their enrolment with a teacher present in the room to support any difficulties.
