Requirements to Attend the NEBOSH Environmental Certificate Course Online

Aside from a suitable standard of English there are no requirements for this course.

Other Requirements

Suitable Device

A tablet, laptop, PC or other suitably sized device that will allow you to view the learning materials, tutor and other delegates. A phone is not a suitable device for Zoom courses as the screens are typically too small to view the slides. Where possible we recommend the use of two screens.

The Zoom video conferencing software works best when it is downloaded to the device that you are using to attend the course.

Microphone & Webcam

Virtual classroom courses require participants to join with both video and audio capabilities. Some suitable devices may have these built in such as laptops and modern tablets, if your device does not have video and audio capacity, please utilise external hardware such as a microphone and webcam.

Where possible webcams should be set to eye level, and microphones should be kept away from audio output devices such as speakers.

Internet

We recommend that you have at least 3MB per second download & upload speed (3MB/s) to ensure a stable and high quality
connection to the video conference.

Suitable Environment

In order to ensure that every delegate can get the most out of the course delegates are required to attend from a quiet room with no distractions. There is an integrated feature in Zoom that allows you to use a simple background such as an office background if you are not able to sit with your back to a plain wall.

Stay Seated and Present

Be prepared to stay present and attentive for the full duration of the course. Whether it is a one day course or a series of taught days make sure that you have everything that you need to attend the full programme of the course.
