FAQ's:

Q: Where should I book accommodation? A: All venues will be close to Liverpool city centre, within a 10 minute walking distance of the Liverpool Passport Office.

Q: Is parking available at the venue/s? A: Yes, all venues are close to public car parking (however, local costs may apply).

Q: Why multiple venues? A: Due to the high popularity of the training and wide range of professions attending, groups are split into similar professions - NHS Radiography, Dentistry, Veterinarian, Suppliers etc.). With limited room choices in smaller training centres, venues are allocated dependent on group sizes, each with their own trainer. Groups are allocated around two weeks prior to the session - please await an email around this time to the address registered with Eventbrite (all correspondence is routed through the Eventbrite system).

Q: Is it possible to live-stream abroad? A: Yes, we can route the live-stream internationally, either live or delayed for timezone requirements. Please note this is not Teams / Zoom screen sharing, it requires a full AV team in the remote room for talkback which we will arrange.

Q: Is this session suitable for supplier / vendor staff to attend for personal CPD? A: Yes, supplier staff are welcome at the same price. We can also live-stream to a private 'all company' room if you have 5+ attendees from the same team / division / company. Contact us directly for this option as costs vary depending on venue and spaces available. Our trainers use talkback earpieces to interact with all groups in the same way as the 'live' audience.

Q: Is lunch included? A: Almost always yes . Officially some sessions include a restaurant lunch provided by our training supporters (for NHS staff). We don't know until nearer the time (logistics around this are tricky!). Please see your venue information email for details nearer the time. Any lunches provided typically also cater for vegetarian and gluten free options by default.
