Much of the training will take place in a classroom with several hands on exercises. PBEM recommends Trainees dress in comfortable clothing that you can be active in. The last session in the Final Field Exercise (FFE). It will be outdoors and very hands-on. Please dress for the weather. | |||
==== Missing a class ==== | |||
PBEM can only certify you as a NET if you complete all Basic training units. If you miss a day of class, there will be makeup opportunities that your Coordinating Instructor will inform you of. Should you ''not'' sign up for Basic NET if you know you will have a prior commitment for one of the class periods? No, you should sign up for the class series and take a makeup class later. | |||
==== Class conduct ==== | |||
* Trainees are encouraged to bring snacks (preferably quiet ones) and drinks to stay hydrated, energetic, and engaged through the training. | |||
* Trainees will be released for a lunch break on longer training days. | |||
* Questions during class are both expected and welcome. However, since instructors are quite accommodating, it has happened that too many questions hijack the main class lecture and classes run late. Therefore, out of courtesy for your training cohort and the instructors, be judicious in what questions you ask and send an email if you have many questions. | |||
* Though in Trainee status, a Trainee is subject to the [[NET Code of Conduct]]. Inappropriately disrespectful Trainees will receive instruction to [https://prowritingaid.com/go-pound-sand#:~:text=in%20My%20Writing%3F-,What%20Does%20Pound%20Sand%20or%20Go%20Pound%20Sand%20Mean%3F,do%20something%20stupid%20and%20pointless. pound sand] vigorously and seldom be thought of again. | |||
