Scottish trade association, SELECT, has introduced a range of comprehensive COVID-19 safety measures as it prepares to restart partial training sessions at its headquarters outside Edinburgh.<\/p>\n
Staggered start times, reduced class sizes, clear signage and a range of hygiene measures are all now in place as The Walled Garden prepares to receive delegates once again.<\/p>\n
The new measure will enable the association to safely deliver the practical part of its SQA Customised Award in Initial Verification to BS 7671 Course (18th Edition).<\/p>\n
Jenny Cryans, SELECT Training Manager said: \u201cWe are delighted to be able to welcome delegates back to The Walled Garden, and have taken every precaution to ensure they feel safe during training.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe training rooms are isolated from the rest of the SELECT offices, with clear signposting, hand washing facilities and other precautions against the spread of COVID-19. Delegates will also be thoroughly briefed on hygiene issues before and during their training.\u201d<\/p>\n
The new course \u2013 also known as the 209 course \u2013 comes in three parts:<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Part One \u2013 introduction, completed online, takes around 2\u00bd hours<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Day One \u2013 theory, delivered as a virtual classroom session from 9am to 3pm<\/p>\n
\u00b7 Day Two \u2013 practical, delivered at SELECT headquarters in Midlothian.<\/p>\n
This third part of the course will take around two hours to complete, with candidates given either a 9.30am or 1.30pm allocated time when booking.<\/p>\n
This final part will also see a reduced class size, with only a maximum of four people in the training room, including the SELECT tutor.<\/p>\n
Jenny added: \u201cWe are delighted to now be able to offer the 209 course to our Members as we continue to move forward and have more training available for delivery.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have reviewed the course content in detail and are delivering as much as we can virtually, with only two hours delivered in the classroom for the practical element.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have put safety measures in place to ensure that both our delegates and tutors are working in a safe environment whilst carrying out this part of the programme.\u201d<\/p>\n
Last year SELECT Training ran 260 courses and trained 2,407 delegates. During lockdown (23 March-31 July), the department delivered 42 online courses for 253 delegates via its dedicated e-learning platform.<\/p>\n
