Tuesday 12 January 2021 – Mike Hardcastle, Director.
Due to the recent changes in the Coronavirus (COVID‑19) Tier System (*in England), and the implementation of a Tier 4 (National Lockdown and Stay at Home Order) we have temporarily updated our offerings and recommendations to our clients, allowing us to adhere to the updated restrictions:
In the Tier 4 (National Lockdown & Stay at Home) order we are working with our clients to develop and deliver engaging Virtual Training sessions through ZOOM, Microsoft Teams, GoToMeetings, Glip by RingCentral or Cisco WebEx, and in some (very) limited cases, these can also be done on site as outlined in the current UK Government Tier 4 guidance for Education and Training.
Under the following Tier 1 (Medium), Tier 2 (High) and Tier 3 (Very High) Coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions (*in England), we are still able to go ahead with training sessions, including those of more than 6 people including the trainer, following the current government safety guidelines. (see below in “Our Training Commitment“)
*Please note, the above guidance on meeting in groups, restriction tiers and lockdowns will vary by region (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Island). We will work with each client to determine safe group numbers based on current guidelines from their regional government.
We recommend contacting our team on +44 (0) 8456 170 697 or at info@novalead.co.uk to find out more on working with us during these unprecedented times.
