Additional information | Important Information for Face to Face Courses Please ensure you have a suitable face covering following government guidance. If you are exempt from wearing a face covering please notify us as soon as possible. Please note: A face visor or shield may be worn in addition to a face covering but not instead of one. This is because face visors or shields do not adequately cover the nose and mouth, and do not filter airborne particles.
