Due to COVID-19, we postponed many of our scheduled training dates as we were not able to offer face to face training sessions; we are currently working on re-scheduling these sessions. However due to the continued uncertainty and possible restrictions concerning CV-19, we will continue to do our utmost to deliver these courses in the best and safest way and this may mean offering an online alternative if courses cannot run. All details / changes will be posted on our website as courses are confirmed.
