*About Zoom
Zoom is a leading on-line training platform which offers a wide range of interactive tools to enhance the learning experience.  One key advantage is that Zoom easily facilitates group based discussion, increasing the interaction between participants.  For this reason Road Safety GB prefers to use Zoom when possible.  While some organisations do not allow their employees to have the full version of the Zoom software installed on their computers, this does not always mean that a participant cannot access an online event via their browser,   We therefore recommend that anyone who is concerned about their ability to access an event on Zoom speaks directly to their IT provider to identify if they allow browser access.
