13.1 As of the 1st February 2022 all Courses with face-to-face attendance days are taking place as normal. This follows the guidelines from the Government at the time of writing.

It is the learner's personal responsibility to adhere to any and all Government guidelines that may affect the participation of online training.

13.2 If guidelines include lockdowns and restrictions, this will affect the ability for face-to-face attendance days to go ahead. Courses will be postponed and rescheduled. All learners enrolled on the postponed courses will be automatically re-enrolled onto the same course with later attendance dates.

13.3 All learners on the postponed courses will receive alternative study resources, and weekly learning tasks to help progress within their area of study. Parallel Coaching reserve the right to adapt the course and learning structure according to requirements.

13.4 All learners that have an ongoing Payment Plan, are expected to continue payments as agreed. Failure to make payments will be followed up as per our terms and conditions section 4 of Terms and Conditions.

In case of a postponed course, the "first attendance day" quoted in section 5.5 above, refers to the original dates on the learner welcome confirmation email, rather than newly arranged course dates.

13.7 Before any attendance days every learner MUST complete a pre-screening questionnaire and answer questions as per the NHS guidelines, to ensure they are free from any/all COVID-19 symptoms.

Parallel Coaching does NOT ask for evidence of vaccinations or negative COVID tests.

It is the learners responsibility to answer truthfully. If a learner should report any/all COVID-19 symptoms they are requested NOT to attend, to contact local authorities, and seek self-isolation as per Government Guidelines. The learner will then be rescheduled to attend the same course at a later date, and adhere to all other terms and conditions illustrated above.

It is the learner's responsibility to adhere to all Government guidelines whilst on attendance days. Whilst Parallel Coaching LTD will update learners of current guidelines, enforce and remind, it is the learners personal responsibility to take the appropriate and constant action.

Any learner can postpone their attendance until they feel it's personally safe to attend.

The learner's attendance is entirely at their own risk.
