What you'll need to do
Access to Online Classes is via Zoom app.
Zoom is a leading software that will allow us to demonstrate to you online via your mobile phones, laptops or tablets.
You will need to download the Zoom app if you have not already got this. From experience, I would advise downloading the app a couple of days before the class, so you have it ready to go. You can download the app from the link below.
