The Academy Announces Protective Measures for Reopening of Courses

The Academy of Excellence in Flooring COVID-Secure Plans

As it reports strong interest in its training programmes set to resume in August, the Academy for Excellence in Flooring reveals the measures being taken to keep its colleagues and course trainees safe.

With refurbished training bays equipped with new challenges and obstacles, the Academy for Excellence in Flooring is set to welcome trainees under a series of new measures designed to protect the wellbeing of colleagues and flooring professionals. 

The Academy’s courses are now limited to four candidates and demand is expected to be high, so flooring professionals are being encouraged to contact the Academy early to avoid disappointment. 

Upon arrival, delegates will be allocated a seat, separated at distances of 2m, and this remains theirs throughout the course (one-day or two-day duration). The same pre-assignment of areas also applies for training bays. All materials and tools are pre-sanitised and prepared with trainees using only allocated equipment. 

The Academy is providing all candidates with individual catering, closing the kitchen and shop area until it is deemed safe to reopen. Academy clothing can still be purchased through a member of staff. Sanitisation points have also been implemented throughout the centre to encourage the regular cleaning of hands when travelling around the Academy. 

Lee Thompson, Procurement and Technical Manager, said: “We’re delighted to be reopening the Academy and judging by the stream of enquiries we’ve received during lockdown, we’re expecting a fast start. We’ve taken every possible measure to protect our colleagues and course attendees and we’re on hand to help alleviate any fears or concerns about the course before booking your place.”
