Training material
Presentations should be followed by a session of practicals for all the subjects requiring the acquisition of a skill. Practical sessions using data and configuration elements for the participant's home country should be available.
Training environment
Each student should be able to access, using a laptop, a training environment hosted on a platform maintained by the training organisers.
TODO
find suitable software for students to access the training platform
ask students to install software on their laptops before training
