Intro: Observer
Intro isn’t a level yet. You’re here to learn the shape of a Sunday, meet the team and get a feel for the room. Nothing is your responsibility, and you shouldn’t feel any weight.
Most people are through this in two or three Sundays.

Modules
Section titled “Modules”I.1 Why we do this — 30 min, midweek or over coffee
Read the Why we do this section, then talk it through with the lead. It’s not a lecture. They should be asking you what you think.
I.2 Joining the team — 20 min
Induction: expectations, rota commitment, what to do when you can’t make it. Safeguarding form completed.
I.3 The room — 30 min, in person, empty room
Walk the signal path with a leader. Where the power is, what order things go on and off. Afterwards, draw it from memory.
Ends when: you can describe the path without prompting.
I.4 Reading a service — 2 Sundays, shadowing
Shadow an operator for two full services. They narrate what they’re doing as they do it. You write down every moment you didn’t understand and bring the list to the debrief.
