Just like booking a flight, the plane is fueled, the pilots are ready and the plane will takeoff regardless of whether you make your flight or not.<\/p>\n<p>You see we commit resources immediately which can include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Trainer allocation \u2013 secured exclusively for your event<\/li>\n<li>Assigning back up trainers \u2013 to cover any illness, travel disruption<\/li>\n<li>Room allocation \u2013 where relevant, all room and setup resources are scheduled<\/li>\n<li>Risk assessment \u2013 every delivery event presents it\u2019s own challenges, our team assesses each event and applies whatever risk mitigation measures are necessary<\/li>\n<li>Other operational activities \u2013 specific client content updates, client venue vetting pre-delivery, IT setup and shipment. Backup internet connections and support teams for all virtual delivery events, lunches and beverages, bespoke course materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>FAQ\u2019s \u2013 Your rescheduling questions answered<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h4>I\u2019m booked to attend a public scheduled course, will it still run?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes, we don\u2019t cancel courses (unlike many in our industry!) and we invest course fees to ensure all courses run during the ongoing disruption. You can see live status updates\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stl-training.co.uk\/live-event-status-update.php\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>I\u2019m booked to attend but need to reschedule, what\u2019s the quickest way to do this?<\/h4>\n<p>Unique to our industry you can reschedule and pay online for public schedule courses up to 4pm on the very day of the course. It\u2019s common in our industry to lose any rescheduling options if you provide 7 or less days notice.<\/p>\n<h4>But I can\u2019t travel due to industrial action, do I still have to pay a reschedule fee?<\/h4>\n<p>Yes, as outlined above we have already invested to ensure that your course will run, and whilst we empathise with individual circumstances, we hold our side of the commitment to ensure the training will run for those who do attend. We are unable to recoup your committed costs, and hence reschedule fees will apply.<\/p>\n<p>Read more here on the measures we have taken when faced with major disruptions to not let our customers down!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stl-training.co.uk\/courses-never-cancelled.php#story2\">https:\/\/www.stl-training.co.uk\/courses-never-cancelled.php#story2<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>I have booked a group training session at one of your venues\/ at our offices, not all our people can attend due to strike action. What are my options?<\/h4>\n<p>Typically if we have 3-5 days notice we can (at no additional cost) pivot your training into virtual classroom delivery, this way your people don\u2019t need to travel and can still enjoy a productive high quality training experience. All they need is suitable IT, an internet connection and they are good to go!<\/p>\n<p>What to expect on a virtual classroom delivery course.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stl-training.co.uk\/sharing\/virtual-classroom-training-v1\/92\">https:\/\/www.stl-training.co.uk\/sharing\/virtual-classroom-training-v1\/92<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Ideal IT setup for virtual delivery:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gUd6F0uKEcg\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/gUd6F0uKEcg<\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you can\u2019t take us up on the virtual delivery option, then yes you will need to reschedule your course. You can find <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stl-training.co.uk\/order\/terms-and-conditions.php\">full terms and fees here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>If some of my people can\u2019t attend a course can they join in a hybrid session?<\/h4>\n<p>From experience we can\u2019t recommend mixing face to face and virtual attendees on the same course. Sadly quality of delivery is compromised and as we won\u2019t let you down, it\u2019s no, we don\u2019t deliver in hybrid format. (Remember this is interactive and engaging training which requires different facilitation techniques for different formats to ensure high quality learning outcomes. This is very different to a short &#8220;meeting&#8221; where someone might join virtually to listen).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>I have booked a group training session at our offices, our people can attend but will your trainer make it due to planned strike actions?<\/h4>\n<p>We will be in touch with you to discuss the challenges and review viable solutions with you, which may well include having the trainer on overnight hotel stay to ensure they make your venue, naturally we would absorb any costs in this scenario to ensure we don\u2019t let you down.
