FAQs

How Do I Book A Place?

To book a place, you will need to book directly with our Coordination team. Select ‘Request to book’ and tell us the course and your preferred dates. You must give the names of all attendees at the time of booking.

How many delegates can attend?

Each course covers training for four delegates. Small groups give every delegate hands-on time with the test equipment and direct access to the trainer.  

What certificate will I receive?

You receive a City & Guilds certificate on successful completion of the course. City & Guilds is a recognised awarding body, so the certificate is independent evidence of competence for your employer and your AE(D).

What if i want to book for more than 4 people?

That’s not a problem. To make sure every delegate gets enough hands-on time and individual attention, each course is capped at four people. For larger teams we can schedule multiple sessions, so you can train as many staff as you need. Get in touch with our training team to discuss numbers and dates, and we’ll put together a schedule that works around your department’s rota.
