Attended this course in Sept '20, the course was very impressive. The Covid-19 measures put in place were excellant each person was sat 2 metres apart with clear tape seperating each delegate, there was plenty of space to move around in, clear signage and the staff regularly sanitized the refreshment area & touch points. The Covid policy was easy to follow. Great training experience.
