How we're making training safe for you and your delegates

We are implementing the following measures to keep your delegates and our employees safe:

• If a delegate has any of the symptoms of COVID-19 (e.g. new persistent cough, high temperature, loss or change to sense of smell or taste) they must not attend training. We will provide a free transfer to a future course
• We are implementing social distancing measures between everyone at all times during the course and request the same of delegates during breaks. To do this we have reduced class sizes dependent on the size of the room
• There will be hand sanitisation available and regular hand-washing protocols in place
• We operate a 1:1 delegate to manikin ratio for CPR practice and will maintain our rigorous manikin cleaning protocols
• We have altered our training strategies to ensure that trainers and delegates don’t touch and remain socially distanced during practical sessions

We will continue to provide gloves for relevant practical sessions.  Face-coverings will be provided but delegates can chose if they wish to wear them
