Course Format
The online JHSC training sessions are delivered by a live instructor online over a 3 day period, taking place virtually between 8:30 am – 4:30 pm. Please log in by 8:00 am on the first day, in order to allow time for any potential technical challenges to joining the sessions and allow for ID verification
Attendance
You will receive an email notification with a link to your Zoom Class prior to your start date. Do not delete this email, as it is how you will register to the class. Click the link in the email, register for the course, and you will receive a link, by email, from the course instructor to the online classroom. Please keep that email, as you will need to use the same link to join the sessions on days 2 and 3.
Identity Verification
At the start of each training day, you will be asked to display one piece of valid government-issued photo identification to the instructor and moderator. This is a requirement by the Ministry of Labour in order to verify your identity. You will only need to show the instructor and moderator your name and picture, so please ensure the rest of the ID is covered to hide additional personal details.

Joining The Training Session
Etiquette

Appearance
Please plan to dress appropriately as you would for an in-person classroom training, as you will be required to have your webcam turned on during the training session.
Location
Please locate yourself in an area or room appropriate for public viewing. Please situation yourself in a quiet space. Make arrangements in advance to avoid distractions from the TV, music, children, spouses, other family members, pets, or multitasking other activities, etc.
Behaviour

You can use the “raised hand” icon to request the instructor’s attention to ask to be unmuted in order to speak.

During the breakout sessions, you will need to unmute yourself in order to verbally communicate for the group work.
Webcams should be on at all times with the exception of breakout sessions and breaks. This is so that the instructor, moderator, and other attendees can still see you.
