Classroom training is usually based at Colchester Campus but we can arrange sessions at Southend or Loughton campus if there is enough demand - please contact us to discuss this.
Some Proficio courses are chargeable. If your department is paying for you, or you are paying for a course yourself, email proficio@essex.ac.uk to book and discuss payment options.
Researchers with Proficio funding can follow the links below to book (new users will need to register with Proficio before completing the booking)
In this in-person, hands-on session, you can find out how to set up in a classroom, use the lectern equipment, what’s recorded and using your own devices.
This workshop is ideal for new academics, and for those who would like a refresher on our teaching room equipment.
