Verified under the NQA COVID SECURE Guideline Verification scheme

Attend a classroom training session with confidence.

IT Governance is committed to upholding the highest standards in health and hygiene, with safety a priority. That’s why our new, purpose-built, training centre in Ely, Cambridgeshire has been verified under the NQA COVID SECURE Guideline Verification Scheme, designed with comfort, convenience, health and safety in mind.

You can be assured of the utmost standards in sanitation, social distancing and other COVID-19 precautions within an exclusive-use training centre, enabling you to enjoy an unrivalled learning experience with complete peace of mind.

This state-of-the-art, world-class venue seamlessly brings physical and virtual audiences into one live, collaborative experience, allowing you the flexibility of attending either in person, or online without losing the benefits of classroom learning.

Your new training centre

Designed for COVID-19-conscious attendee

The venue exceeds government guidance on social distancing measures and has been verified under the NQA COVID SECURE Guideline Verification Scheme. There is clear signage throughout, attendees are spaced at more than two metres apart, and upon arrival you’ll receive your own personal care pack comprising three face masks, hand sanitiser, wipes and gloves.

 

Ample space

Our training centre is larger than most venues at 170 m2/1,829 ft2. We are limiting the classroom size to 12 learners and 1 trainer per session, which equates to 13 m2/140 ft per person at full occupancy. 

Large windows surround two sides of the building, providing a lot of light. Windows will be kept open during the course to ensure the free circulation of fresh air.

Risk-mitigating measure

We have conducted a thorough risk assessment against government guidelines. With staff fully trained on social distancing and hygiene measures, site rules in place, exclusive use of the centre, clear signage throughout and automatic hand-sanitisation facilities inside and out, you can rest assured that all measures have been taken to limit transmission and keep you safe.

Touchless environment

Automatic antibacterial dispensers are located throughout the premises, with automatic soap dispensers and taps in bathrooms and the canteen. Automatic facilities are four times more hygienic than traditional touch facilities.

 

Deep cleaning

Daily deep cleaning of the training centre ensures proper disinfection of all equipment, surfaces and key touchpoint areas.

Screening

At arrival, your temperature will be tested by a digital, hands-free, wall-mounted thermometer to ensure the safety of everyone in the room.

Freshly prepared, nutritious lunch

An individually packaged, sealed lunch can be enjoyed in our spacious canteen, where you can also help yourself to tea, coffee and other refreshments.

All food, PPE, cutlery, cups and mugs have been chosen for their disposability.

Your training, your way

Although the COVID-19 situation is changing regularly, you can be confident in booking with IT Governance: if your circumstances change, you can opt to attend the classroom course as an online attendee (changes can be made up to one week in advance).
