**For all ‘Home’ course options we need a suitable area in which to train. For theory sessions this could be a classroom, boardroom, office or something similar. For workshop practical training we will need a bay, preferably with a ramp. Any more than 4 learners and this requirement may be 2 bays and a vehicle (we can advise as appropriate).
