• Training Centre Rules

    Centre rules are in place to ensure that we maintain our standards of Health and Safety and discipline. Staff, apprentices and visitors all adhere to these same standards.

    Non-compliance is managed under the student management policy and involves employer engagement.

    Smoking

    Smoking, including the use of e-cigarettes and vaping devices is strictly forbidden in all areas apart from the designated smoking shelter.

    Any learner found to be in possession of, using, or showing, the effects of alcoholic drinks, drugs, or legal highs, will be suspended with immediate effect, pending investigation. If evidence substantiates that the learner was under the influence or in possession of alcohol, drugs, or illegal highs, they may face permanent exclusion.

    Irrespective of the challenge, we will expect you to voice your opinions in a respectful way; to ask the questions of us, and to listen to the response.  We will communicate decisions to your employer and continue to work in your best interest.
