COVID-19 Information
Update 4th January:
The situation with Corona virus is rapidly evolving with lockdown rules effecting all UK nations. Each nation has their own set of restrictions and guidelines which must be strictly adhered to in the first instance.
Training Guidance
Whilst the restrictions and guidelines vary between each nation, the requirements for training are common in each, so our guidance at present for the whole of the UK is for training to only go ahead when it is deemed essential and cannot be delayed.
During the lockdown many businesses are still operating and are required to meet the HSE requirements in respect of first aid and other training, to allow them to continue to operate. Where training is deemed essential then it can go ahead, but if it can be delayed then it should be until safe to do so.
The decision as to whether training is essential must be employer led and where training does go ahead, training providers must adhere to Covid 19 classroom requirements.
So Bearing the above in mind, we have decided to postpone all classroom training until the 15th Feb 2021 when we await an update on the lockdown procedures
