• How do I access my course?

You will receive a joining link 24-48 hours before your course, via email. Please
check your junk or spam folder if you haven’t received the email in your inbox.

On the day on your course, 5 minutes before your start time, click the link (Join

allowing prompts that request access to your camera and microphone. Please note

this process, please contact the booking team 01926 412 990, we will talk you
through the process over the phone.

• What happens if I can’t access my course in time?

withheld number to offer support to access your course. If the registration period has
passed, we will rebook your course if the police completion date allows.

Once you have received your joining link (received 24-48 hours before your course
via email) please contact our booking team on 01926 412 990. We can run a test call over the phone to help you access the software and test that your microphone and camera are fully working before your course.

• Can I change my course date and how?

Yes, if we have available course dates and your completion date set by the Police
allows, we can change your course date free of charge. If we cannot offer a suitable
date, we can fully refund your course fee allowing you to contact other Providers to
book an alternate date.
