The health and safety of our delegates and tutors is paramount. Following UK government advice on coronavirus, all our in-person open courses are postponed until further notice. Our distance learning courses are operating as usual. We are running a selection of open courses online from July 2020. See this page for more details.
Please contact us directly if you have booked or would like any in-company training, as we will try to move this to a virtual classroom where possible. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us on +44(0)20 8874 2718 or message us directly on our social-media accounts, Facebook LinkedIn and Twitter.
