New national restrictions have been introduced from Monday 4th January 2021. The new rulings allow for our training schools in Penistone and Sheffield to remain open and courses will be running as normal. Please note that our training school in Houston, Texas also remains open.

We have conducted a specific risk assessment associated with COVID-19 and continue to follow strict health and safety procedures. This includes using specific PPE and extensive facility disinfection regime minimising the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus to ensure the safety of our employees and students.

Our Health and Safety procedure has been audited by external advisors and has been found to surpass government advice. It is worth noting that it has been written as a live document and as such is subject to change in accordance with any updates to government guidelines.
