Face to Face Training – (Position as at Nov 24 2020)

I will review my position on Face to Face Training dependent upon circumstances – at the moment we are in lockdown and my area will be in Tier 3 after Dec 2nd. I will review in January.

Face to face courses may technically be possible under current circumstances if we can find rooms large enough for groups to sit socially distanced, and adjust some of the exercises – however it is not the optimal learner experience as a lot of the benefit from face to face courses comes from discussions in small groups at close quarters. There are also liability and risk assessment issues to consider – and the chance that local lockdowns may mean courses can’t go ahead, or individuals cannot attend. It is mainly for this last reason, and the risk of losing room booking fees, that I will not be scheduling any open face to face courses for some time. 

I am happy to discuss the possibility of safely delivering within your organisation however I strongly recommend the online courses which I am finding have their own benefits over face to face for some people – and which do not come with the complex risk potential for both myself and delegates.

*Courses need a minimum number of attendees for exercises to work – if we do not get sufficient bookings I will let you know and offer a refund or hold your place for a future date.
