Due to the nature of inset days the training will go ahead as planned, we will contact you 1-2 days before the delivery date to discuss how the training will be adapted to be delivered indoors. This will still be in the same practical style as originally planned and if the weather conditions improve we will deliver as much of the training outdoors as possible to give your staff the best experience we can.
