Before the day

Information we need from you

Please email your trainer with the names and roles of those attending, no later than 3 weeks before your first training day.

What we need on the day

We just need the internet connection gods to be smiling on us when delivering online 🙂

If we are delivering in person, we’ll also need:

All courses need:

  • A room for the day where you won’t be disturbed.
  • Enough tables and chairs for everyone, set out as boardroom or horse shoe.
  • A flip chart stand and pad.

For the Create your compelling vision part II (AM) and Keeping your Vision alive (PM) day:

  • A projector to connect to our laptop (USB or HDMI connection).

FAQs

What if a member of the team changes?
Let your trainer know and they will let you if it’s appropriate for them to join at this stage or a later stage.

What if I need to change a date?
This can affect the course and the impact we can make so we prefer if it you don’t. However, sometimes it is unavoidable. Please get in touch with your trainer and they will do what they can. We don’t like to charge cancellation fees if dates have to be moved, but sometimes we need to. You can see details of these charges at https://ukheadsup.com/terms-conditions/

We might need to charge for travel if we’ve booked tickets.

What if Ofsted call on a training day?
Let us know as soon as you can and we’ll cancel the training day (no charge) and be in touch a little while after they have gone (good luck!).

What if I have a question you haven’t answered?

If you have any questions about your training not covered here or in your booking confirmation e-mail please get in touch with your trainer.
