Prof Paul Brown briefly introduces the 'Brain and Behaviour in Organisations': Applied neuroscience is going to be the need-to-know basis for anyone interested in human behaviour in organisations.

How can we manage stress and pressure better in the 21st Century Sustainable Organisation.

A stable internet connection with at least 3mbps. An integrated (i.e., fixed) webcam on your PC/ laptop or a portable webcam. If using a PC/ laptop with an integrated webcam, a reflective surface (e.g., a mirror) must be available. This will be used to show the invigilator the space immediately surrounding your screen and keyboard. A basic (non-scientific) calculator for maths assessments. You will have access to an on-screen calculator but may feel more comfortable using a separate calculator. Please note that all workings need to be added to the assessment platform if you use a separate calculator so that your workings can be marked. Plain paper. You will need to show this to your invigilator at the beginning of the exam to assure them that you do not have access to notes. A dictionary (where allowed).

Electric Vehicle Technicians have had access to certified training at different levels of competency for a number of years, but this has not been the case for Vehicle Dismantling Technicians until now. Vehicle repairers have been taught how to diagnose faults on Electric or Hybrid vehicles, make them safe, repair or replace the high voltage component and then put the vehicle back together and make them work. Vehicle dismantlers need to know how to assess Electric and Hybrid vehicles, store them properly, make them safe and dismantle them, store the parts and ship them out for re-use, repurposing or recycling, so the accredited and certified training for vehicle repair technicians met some of the criteria for dismantling but not all. Electric Vehicle Dismantling Training raises the professional standards of the vehicle dismantling and recycling industry, provides consistent training standards across the world, helps develop knowledge and understanding, enables team members to grow their own abilities, and achieve accredited training.
