Split Attendance at Level 1 Course

If it is not possible for you to attend the Level 1 course on five consecutive days, you may like to consider splitting your attendance between two courses. This can be done on the basis of either a two/three or three/two split. The five days training should be undertaken inside a month.
 

Deputy Health and Safety Representatives

Deputy Health and Safety Representatives may attend the first 3 days, or the full 5 days of scheduled Level 1 courses – just indicate ‘Deputy Health and Safety Representative’ as the name of the course and the relevant dates on the enrolment form. Fees for attendance at these courses are set as a proportion of the full fee for the 5 day course - see the section on course fees for details
