hello,

how does one contact ndsa support in relation to website account stuff [bcos challenges 'logging-in'], thank you in advance

The mentoring goes mostly on Zoom, but you can have it on the forum, via a private conversation . Normally you should be able to access Zoom from your mobile phone. Many people do that. Do you have a mobile phone with a camera?

 

[steve]

no otherwise i'd not ask as i'd have access to zoom on my moble with a camera

my computer does not have a camera

 

[Margot]

how does one change username? and, contact support in relation to account stuff [bcos challenges 'logging-in'] thanks

The user name can be changed on the forum account by yourself, but it is limited to once a month.
What are difficulties logging in?

Hi Margot,

I just applied for the program today as a mentee after being referred to by a member of the family, hoping to gain some stability in my career from this course but I do still have issues interacting so I'm a little worried that I won't be able to open up as much as I hope.
It would be very helpful if I could get a general agenda that will be followed when interacting with my assigned mentor over Zoom? What exactly will be expected of me?

 

[steve]

i dont have a mobile

 

[Margot]

Steve, several of our mentees did mentoring on the forum, it is fine really., no need for the camera.

There will be a general agenda for the entire programme that you will see on the course. While the first 6 lessons are the same for everybody, you will be able to define with your mentor what to focus on. The mentor would develop and agenda with you, based on your preferences and needs.

Concerning agenda for each session, the mentor would broadly agree with you what to focus on. The session would follow a predictable pattern

 

[Margot]

You would have time to develop a relationship with your mentor, so it will be easier to open up.

 

[steve]

if you dont have a camera and mike on your computer it wont let you join in. I tried this on another zoom meeting elsewhere just to sit in and listen and it just kept saying you do not have a camera / mike installed

 

[Margot]

Steve, you don't need to worry about Zoom. You just agree with your mentor that you will have sessions on the forum. via a private conversation. Is that OK for you?

 

[steve]

that's fine, thanks, a conversation on here would work

 

[Margot]

Please keep asking your questions.
I will be back in here later this evening at 7 pm to answer further questions.

Re 'logging-in' (seems) smth(website I guess) isn recognising stuff bcos processing [auto-fill] log in information the site responds to say doesn't recognize*
[was during process logging into this .. chat room?, section of the website], thank you for trying to help me



*discovered 'somehow' I'd effected 2x accounts 1x email ...

Apolgies, I'm probably not the best at communication stuff [verbal/written ; significant variation IMO]

Hi


In relation to zoom/written communication mentoring ..

(is) 'it' okay for me [as mentee] to use different communication tools? ; different in that to say zoom sporadically, and text.. sporadically,-'interchangeable' I guess is a way to say


I ask only as it is a struggle (but) to a variable degree.


Thank you

It's OK to use a combination of Zoom and forum chat, but not in one session, as it would be very messy and difficult for the mentor to follow. I hope this makes sense.

 

[aadap]

Yup, thanks for getting back to me.

Hi, I’m a new member and have registered to train as a mentor. I’m wondering does registering mean I have been accepted onto the training which starts next week?

 

[Margot]

Hi Caterpillar,
Yes, you have been accepted into the training. You will be accepted into mentoring after the completion of the training and DBS check. Please engage with communications from us and you will be fine. I hope it helps.
