COVID-19

During the COVID-19 restrictions, for personal safety, it is envisaged that the theory section of MiDAS Training if required, will be delivered by using Microsoft TEAMS.

The front seating of the minibus has also been ‘socially distanced’ with the use of a plastic screen attached in between the driver’s seat and the front passenger seat.

And for peace of mind, the controls and handles are deep cleaned after every use, the Assessor will wear a protective visor and mask. It is requested that the delegates provide their own PPE.

We run regular MiDAS training courses for staff at our college and are always impressed with the service we receive from The Training and Skills Development Foundation. They are always able to accommodate us at very short notice and the trainer, Stuart, is approachable, reliable and flexible. We have no hesitation in recommending The Training and Skills Development Foundation.

I just thought I’d say how much I enjoyed yesterday, and Wednesday, but especially yesterday. As you know, I was very nervous, but your kindness and encouraging manner made all the difference.
