TPTI will send participants the course joining instructions within 1 - 2 weeks before the course starts. Course joining instructions will normally be sent directly to the participant. In some cases, where a company has contracted to send their staff on an exclusive basis, the company should contact the TPTI-AD to outline its requirements. For some courses there will be pre-reading materials attached to the course materials. The participant should finish all pre-course assignments mentioned in the course material before the course begins. This is intended to facilitate the participant completing the course successfully and enhancing both the contribution to, and benefits of, the course itself.
