For those who are brand new to Zoom and online learning we offer short training sessions, on request. At these sessions, you will have the chance to test your home equipment is working before the class starts and receive some basic training from a CLL member of staff on the key functions you will use. These sessions may be one-to-one or in small groups. Please contact us to request this training and we will arrange a suitable time.
You will access your Zoom class(es) via MyCLL (the same system you use to browse and book classes). All your CLL bookings, Zoom class access and any associated class resources are located here.
