  • The maximum number of learners in courses is 12 per instructor
  • Learners should be aged 16 or over on the first day of the course
  • The courses will be delivered in written and spoken English
  • We administer registration, attendance, feedback and certification digitally (i.e. via email and Microsoft Office applications)

  • Please specify any additional support measures that members of your group require to support their participation in the course (e.g. a hearing loop, support to manage food allergies or intolerances etc). Your course tutor will need to discuss these requirements with you in greater detail at least seven days before the course start date.

Failure to disclose the need for additional support measures will result in the organisation and student taking full responsibility for any adverse outcomes that occur as a consequence of this non-disclosure, including failure to pass the course.
