Yes, if you arrive on time and stay for the whole session you will get a certificate of attendance which you will be able to download after the session.
It would be great to see you during the session, but if you have a reason for not wanting to show yourself on camera that is fine.
If you are off camera and you would like a certificate of attendance, we may need to have a quick, friendly, private chat after the session to confirm you were actually there for the whole session.
