COVID-19 Sick Notice / Snap Lockdown:
If a student is not feeling well or falls sick prior to or during the training course, it is mandatory for the student to notify the educator immediately.

While we strive to accommodate students to the best of our ability, in circumstances where normal operations are disrupted due to illness, we will reschedule the student's enrolment dates. Those unable to reschedule will still receive their kit and credit towards future services and/or training, such as Online Training Courses.

If a student's training dates are affected by a snap lockdown or if they are unable to attend the training due to COVID-19, we will make every effort to accommodate and reschedule the training to match their availability. We request as much notice as possible. If we cannot find a suitable date for rescheduling, the student will be enrolled in our Online Training.
