Global Knowledge is committed to supporting our customers during Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Glyn Roberts

As lockdown eases in England, we are giving our students the choice to learn how and where they want to


Some businesses have already started to reopen their offices and shops after 13 weeks of being shut due to lockdown measures. With this in mind, we will evaluate the reopening of our London training centre based on customer feedback and their preferred learning delivery, whilst adhering to social distancing guidance from the UK Government.
 
The safety of our employees and students are paramount to us. We will provide all individuals with a guide when attending (in person) classroom events and our classes will be set up with appropriate spacing (1m plus for students). Hand sanitisers will also be available at all entrance and exit doors. 
 
We understand some people will not want to attend a training course in person and they might not want to travel into London for the time being. We would like to reassure you that you still have the choice to attend our Virtual Classroom Live events from home or in the office. You will have the same live, interactive experience with the tutor and other students whether you attend in the classroom or virtually.  You will have access to hands-on labs and you can review what you have learned during the sessions by accessing indexed recordings.
 
A furloughed employee can also take part in training as long as it does not provide services to or generate revenue for or on behalf of their organisation.
 
We want to help our customers and individuals come out of this crisis stronger than ever and ensure they are more skilled to tackle new challenges when the global crisis comes to an end.

When you are ready to book your next training course, please select the location that suits your needs; London (Old Broad Street) or Virtual at www.globalknowledge.com or speak with your GK account manager. 

If you would like more information on how we can help support you or your organisation, please call us on 0118 912 3456 or email info@globalknowledge.co.uk
