As a result of the current lockdown restrictions, the provision will be delivered remotely. Service providers must outline in their Tender details of the resources, equipment, materials and methods that will be utilised to engage and motivate participants particularly those who may find this form of learning difficult.

Participants should have the option to choose a discipline (Game, Design, Video Production or Web) and receive training so that they become familiar with the software. They should also have an opportunity to put their new skills into practice, by working on a project.
