Goldcross Training Response To Coronavirus (Covid-19) Outbreak

01 June 2020 – Update

Following notification from our accreditation bodies our training centres are now open and our classroom-based schedule is now in operation!

However, based on the fact that we need to ensure:

• Compliance to appropriate government guidance on coronavirus and social distancing:- https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus
• That all required precautionary measures are put in place and robustly maintained throughout the entirety of course delivery.

the number of delegates that we can accept per course is greatly reduced and as such we would recommend that delegates book as early as practicably possible!

Additionally as our ‘online training’ is proving extremely successful and as there is still clearly considerable demand we are also continuing to provide our CITB Site Safety Plus ‘online’ Courses via Zoom.  Delegates wishing to take advantage of this will need to have downloaded the ‘Zoom Client App’ and have familiarised themselves with the software prior to the course start date. 

Our online booking service remains fully operational both for ‘online’ and ‘classroom based’ courses and you can contact the office directly on: 0203 633 5505 or via: bookings@goldcross-training.com

The Government will be releasing its updated guidance tomorrow (Sun 10th May) after which we will review all the available options open to us in an effort to bring you the necessary and appropriate level of training.  This may well include an option to undertake some training courses online until such times as our training centre’s are permitted to open as normal.

16 April 2020 – Update

As you are no doubt aware the latest Government instruction has extended the current ‘lockdown’ for a further three week period. 

Our first priority has been and continues to be, the safety of our staff and delegates, and as such all of our courses will remain suspended until Monday 11^th May in line with the instruction, government guidance and recommendations.

Please note that our online booking system remains fully functional and is open for business throughout this period.

We fully appreciate that this will be a continued disappointment for our customers, however we would like to reassure you all that all current bookings will be honoured and that we will do our utmost to ensure that they are transferred to a date that is suitable to you at the earliest opportunity.

Clearly this continues to be a very difficult period for most companies and individuals however we all owe a duty of care to each other and as such we consider this to be be the only viable option at this time. We have been and will continue to work with the various accrediting bodies in an effort to ensure that we can open our training center’s for normal business as soon as practicably possible.

Please continue to keep yourselves and your families safe and we look forward to welcoming you back to Goldcross as soon as practicably possible.

As we have previously stated it is our intention to keep both our current and future Clents/Delegates fully informed of the actions we are taking as a company in order to provide for the coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak.

Our first priority has been and continues to be, the safety of our staff and delegates.  After further reviewing the current situation we have decided that it is in the interest of everyone’s health and safety to suspend all of our courses until Monday 20^th of April in line with government guidance and recommendations.

We fully appreciate that this will be a disappointment for many individuals however, we would like to reassure you all that all current bookings will be honoured and that we will do our utmost to ensure that they are transferred to a date that is suitable to you at the earliest opportunity.

We would also like to reassure you all that we will re-open for business as normal, as soon as practicably possible, in line with Government guidance – Of note is that our online booking system will remain fully functional throughout this period.

This will without doubt be a very difficult period for most companies and individuals however we all owe a duty of care to each other and we would hope that you our customers understand our reasoning in this respect.

Most importantly please keep yourselves and your families safe and we look forward to welcoming you back to Goldcross as soon as practicably possible.
