Courses may be held at your premises. We appreciate that it is sometimes difficult to release staff on training courses, therefore we offer the flexibility to hold the course either on six consecutive days or two - three days a week spread over two - three weeks. As the examination date is fixed by the CIEH this date is not flexible. We also regularly run "open" courses at centralised locations.
