2. Locations and delivery arrangements

MVD Training's head office is located at 993 Route du Fousseret, 31430 Castelnau Picampeau, France.

The inter-company courses offered in the catalog are mainly delivered remotely. In-company courses can be organized remotely or face-to-face at the customer's premises.

When a course is organized at a customer site, trainees must comply with the access, hygiene and safety rules applicable at the host location.

3. Training information

The objectives, program, prerequisites, duration, schedule and assessment arrangements are stated in the training program and in the invitation sent before the session.

During the course, you follow the schedule indicated on your invitation. A lunch break of about one hour and other short breaks are planned during the day.

Participation in all planned sequences and assessments is necessary for the course to run smoothly. Attendance is recorded according to the arrangements communicated before the session.

Mobile phones must be set to silent mode during training hours unless expressly agreed by the trainer. In case of absence, delay or connection difficulty, please inform the trainer or administrative manager as soon as possible.

For inter-company courses, registration is possible subject to available places and compliance with the deadline stated during pre-registration.

For in-company or custom courses, the estimated access time is two months from the request, subject to needs analysis, trainer availability and contractual agreement.

The disability contact may be contacted before the course to review adaptation needs and the arrangements that allow the session to be followed in suitable conditions.

7. Accessibility and adaptation needs

Anyone facing a difficulty that may affect their participation in training is invited to contact the disability contact as early as possible.

Needs are reviewed with the person concerned to identify adaptations that can be implemented. When MVD Training cannot directly meet an identified need, referral to a suitable contact or support arrangement may be proposed.

The information provided is handled discreetly and only to the extent necessary to assess and implement adaptations.

8. Remote training appendix

Remote courses use Webex for videoconferencing and RealVNC to access practical-lab workstations when required.

To follow the course under suitable conditions, trainees need a stable Internet connection, a computer capable of running Webex, a headset or earphones with a microphone, sufficient rights to install or run the required software, and RealVNC Viewer when access to practical-lab workstations is planned.

A second screen is recommended to follow the trainer's explanations and practical work at the same time. Connection links and any credentials are sent before the session. In case of technical difficulty, trainees must contact the trainer as soon as possible.

Workstations accessed through RealVNC are reserved for activities planned as part of the course. Installing unauthorized software, changing their configuration or extracting data from them is prohibited without the trainer's agreement.

Download Webex for videoconferencing access. Download RealVNC Viewer to access practical-lab workstations.
