Frequently Asked Questions
Office & Venue Operations
You can reach our administrative team over the phone or via email from Monday to Thursday (9am-5pm) and on Fridays (9am-4:30pm). However, please note that our offices close on Saturdays and Sundays.
We operate our primary training facility at The Community Centre, Knutsford Methodist Church, Princess Street, Knutsford, Cheshire, WA16 6BY. Specifically, the venue sits a short 3-minute walk from the local bus station and 6 minutes from Knutsford railway station. While we do not have dedicated long-stay parking directly outside the Community Centre, visitors can access several public pay-and-display car parks within a flat 2-to-5-minute walk. Our Joining Instructions page provides complete parking details.
We want everyone to feel welcome, relaxed, and supported when they train with us. Therefore, our primary venue at Knutsford Methodist Church features full step-free, accessible rooms. While we do not offer dedicated long-stay parking directly outside the door, visitors can use several public pay-and-display car parks within a flat, 2-to-5-minute walk. Additionally, we sit just a short stroll from both Knutsford bus station and the railway station. You can find full details on our Joining Instructions page.
On-Site Training & Certificates
Yes, absolutely. Our training team travels out to schools, businesses, and clinics across both counties every single week. Furthermore, you do not need to worry about providing equipment because we bring all the necessary training resources with us. Ultimately, we only require a clear, comfortable room with enough floor space for your team to safely practice their practical skills.
To ensure everyone receives plenty of high-quality, hands-on practice, we cap our courses at 8 to 12 attendees. This setup also complies fully with national safety standards. However, we do not enforce a strict minimum size for private bookings. Consequently, if you only have a couple of staff members who need the training, just let us know. We can arrange a smaller private session or simply book them onto one of our regular public open courses instead.
We know you are busy running your organisation, so we keep our administration fast and completely straightforward. Specifically, your digital invoice and booking confirmation will land in your inbox within one working day of locking in your training date. Furthermore, once your course wraps up and everyone passes, our team will process and email your digital certificates within 48 hours to keep your compliance records perfectly up to date. Please note this quick heads-up regarding regulated courses: If you take an Ofqual-accredited qualification, the external awarding body requires a standard 10-working-day turnaround to issue the official certificates to us. However, we monitor this closely and will email them to you the second they arrive in our inbox.
