We take everyone’s safety extremely seriously. We have put the following measures in place on our premium courses which are clearly communicated to all course mates prior to their course starting and full cooperation is required.
Lateral flow testing: All course mates and course hosts must complete a lateral flow test on the day of each in person session and a photograph of the negative test must be uploaded via the HPHB Covid Declaration form, prior to attendance. Entry is not permitted to in person sessions without proof of this.
Declaration form: Prior to the start of each in person session, all coursemates are required to complete and submit the HPHB Covid Declaration form and evidence of this must be shown on arrival.
Arrival checks: On arrival at the course venue all course mates will have their temperature taken and you will be asked to sanitise your hands. Anyone with a temperature 37.5 degrees or above will be asked to immediately leave the venue.
All of our course mates are instructed not to attend sessions if they have symptoms, a positive lateral flow test, or if they have been advised to isolate for any reason.
In the event that the Government increases social distancing measures or enforces a further lockdown before course starts, your course will continue virtually.Where can I read your terms and conditions?
