First week back!

It’s our first week back following lockdown and we are glad to report that our new working practices and social distancing is going really well. Plumbing and tiling courses were our first courses back training and we asked several students what they thought of our new COVID-19 safe set up to maintain safe working / training practices and all feedback was excellent and reassuring.

Here are a few photos form the first week back during the first couple of days.

Next week the plastering courses will start and followed by the carpentry courses. By the end of June we will be fully up and running with a safe phased return to training.

We are ready to open!

We have been working extremely hard over the past few weeks to prepare for re-opening following the lockdown and we are now ready to open for YTA courses on Monday 1st June.

Please take a look at the gallery below to see what we have put in place:

  • Hand sanitiser stations in each department,
  • Yellow dots on the floor 2m apart,
  • Perspex between training bays where possible
  • Face-masks to be handed out

We have some ground rules for attending which can be found on our COVID-19 page which must be followed to help keep all staff and students safe.

We are not sure how long we will need these rules and procedures in place but I feel it is a good way of trying to keep everybody safe.  We will expect all students and staff to adhere to the above measures. Safety in these unprecedented times is our top priority.

It will feel a little different at first whilst we all get used to the new social distancing measures and how we can practice this in a construction training centre but please bear with us as we are all new to this way of working/ teaching/ assessing.

We are preparing to re-open

Covid-19 Important Update 14.5.2020

We are preparing to re-open but our top priority is keeping staff and students safe.

The YTA office will re-open on Monday 18th May and we will be actively contacting students whose courses have been affected over the past several weeks of closure due to coronavirus. We will be available to not only re-schedule courses but also take new course bookings. The office will be open 9am to 4:30pm. If you would rather call us then please do so on 01274682199.

Our plan is to start running the majority of our courses on Monday 1st June onwards.

What we will be doing in preparation to opening for students on 1st June is making sure we have the following in place:

  • 2m floor indicators around the centre where possible
  • hand sanitiser wall mounted dispensers around the training centre, office and the entrance/ exit to the building
  • hand wash facilities and disposable latex gloves provided throughout the centre as usual.
  • some training bays are only half height so we will be building clear perspex screens to a suitable height so once students are in their bays they can maintain social distance by way of a barrier/ screen/ wall.
  • depending on students numbers, break times may be staggered and we may not be able to accommodate every student a place to eat their lunch inside our centre whilst also maintaining 2m distances at all times. We will ask students to eat their lunch in their car/ van whilst we give students attending via public transport priority seating inside the building for their lunch
  • we will limit the amount of tool sharing as much as possible. Everyone will be provided with a set of tools to use for the duration of their course but some tools will need to be shared such as large tiles cutters, mixing drills and pressure testers. Wearing gloves whilst using these will be advised or use the hand sanitiser.
  • wearing a face-mask inside the building will be mandatory when a 2m social distance can not be maintained, for example:

– during some types of training such as 1 to 1 training

– small group lectures where the group may be stood near each other

– whilst walking through areas narrower than 2m where other students or staff may also walkthrough or past

This is to help keep everybody safe. The face-mask provided will be free of charge and a new one will be provided each day if required, this way everyone is able to wear a regulated good quality face-mask.

We are not sure how long we will need these rules and procedures in place but I feel it is a good way of trying to keep everybody safe. If you would like to cancel your course then we can refund your course fee or re-schedule for a time when the above rules can be relaxed. We will expect all students and staff to adhere to the above measures. Safety in these unprecedented times is our top priority.

It will feel a little different at first whilst we all get used to the new social distancing measures and how we can practice this in a construction training centre but please bear with us as we are all new to this way of working/ teaching/ assessing. Any further updates will be on the COVID-19 page.

 

Thank you. Stay safe.

Book with confidence – COVID-19

Book a course with confidence – COVID-19

We are still open for business as usual but we are closely following advice from the government in keeping you safe.

If you book a course (pay a deposit / full payment) and are then unable to attend by the time your course start date comes around due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) then we will re-schedule your course for a later date in the year with no loss of your deposit/full payment..

These coming weeks will be a very worrying time for all businesses country wide as general footfall may decrease and we hope you will support us through this time.

Here’s what we will do:

  • Re-schedule any course or courses if you are unable to attend due to coronavirus without losing your deposit or full payment.
  • We have antibacterial hand-wash to use as frequently as you like
  • Everyone works/trains in their own training bays and do not share hand tools
  • We have disposable latex gloves around the training centre for everyone to use
  • All equipment and tools are cleaned down with antibacterial wipes
  • We will keep the total number of students and staff within our 6500 sq ft construction training centre to below 25 people.

I hope the above will help you book a course with confidence and together we can take each day as it comes.

If you have coronavirus (COVID-19) symptoms, the NHS link is HERE.
