Webinars (interactive online tutorials)

ActEd Webinars

This session we are really excited to offer Webinars (interactive online tutorials) in Subjects CT4, CT5, CT8, CA1, CA3 and ST5. At ActEd we are always looking for new, modern methods to deliver training, and Webinars are exactly that.

To hear a short recording of

a Subject CA3 Webinar, click here.
a Subject CA1 Webinar, click here.
a Subject ST5 Webinar, click here.

Note that the sample recordings are compressed to make them faster to download, but the sound quality is reduced as a result. In a live webinar, the audio is significantly better.

The recordings will play on Windows Media Player. If you do not have this, you can download it by clicking here.

These online tutorials are particularly suitable if you have not attended face to face tutorials. Alternatively, they may be suitable if you have attended face to face tutorials in a previous tutorial session and want to recap on some of the more technical areas, or if you are retaking the exam.

The software that we will use enables you to see and hear the tutor, and uses a "virtual flipchart" and slides, resulting in a personal feel to the tutorial. The online tutorials will be interactive and include questions and short exercises. Students will be able to ask and respond to questions via a written chat facility and/or via a microphone.

In order to participate in this trial all you need is a PC with speakers or headphones, a broadband internet connection and an internet browser.

Timings
The timings shown below are in UK time. If you live overseas, you will need to consider the corresponding local timings.

CA1 and ST5 Webinars will last for approximately one hour, Subject CA3 Webinars last for approximately two hours and the CT Subject Webinars will last for 1 and a half hours.

The provisional timetable is as follows:

Important Information - Applying for Webinars

Numbers will be limited and so to maximise your chance of getting a place on your chosen session(s), we encourage early applications. The cut off application date for each Webinar is 7 days before the Webinar is due to take place.

Applying is easy, you can apply for Webinars using our estore. Alternatively you can print the fax application form and fax a copy of the completed form to us on +44 1235 550085.

Shortly after you apply for a Webinar you will receive an acknowledgement by email of your application. If you do not receive an acknowledgement within seven days for each of the Webinars you have applied for, please contact ActEd immediately to check that we have received your application.

Please remember that we cannot guarantee that the Webinar will run - this will depend on a sufficient level of demand. ActEd will run all advertised online tutorials where we have received a sufficient number of applications by the cut off application date (7 days before the Webinar is due to take place). If a tutorial is not going to run, we will contact you and you will not be charged.

Places will be allocated on a first-come first-served basis.

If you apply after the cut off date we will be able to offer you a place if your chosen Webinar is still running and there is space available.

More about the types of Webinar
The Webinars will comprise a mixture of:

• teaching from the tutor via pre-prepared presentations and a virtual flipchart
• question practice with feedback from students using interactive polls and a written chat facility.

Computer compatibility
We will email you before the Webinar with details of how to test your computer for compatibility, log in to the session and give you any material that it is necessary for you to print off beforehand.

Webinar prices
Webinars are subject to UK VAT (Value Added Tax), currently at 17.5%, which will be added to your bill.

There is a 10% discount if you order 5 or more Webinars in one go.

Cancellation and refund policy
Once you have applied for a tutorial, you may cancel without charge, so long as we are notified in writing (email or fax) before the cut off date 7 days before the Webinar is due to take place. If you cancel your place after this date you will be invoiced for a fee of 100% of the tutorial fee. If we cancel a Webinar through lack of demand, you will not be charged.

Refunds cannot be given in the event of malfunction or incompatibility of your software or hardware, which is outside of ActEd's control. Sufficient opportunity will be given before the Webinar for you to test your hardware and software. We will email you instructions on how to do this before the Webinar.
