We are open and delivering COVID-secure training across England during lockdown

Updated January 12th - We are continuing to train in England within the government guidelines because our customers can leave home for specific work purposes. This means that our trainers, and our delegates, are allowed to attend our courses as our training is delivered face-to face and cannot be completed from home. This training saves lives in the workplace and eases the pressure on the NHS. Follow the links below to find out more about our COVID-secure training measures and to check the status of a course.
