WHAT TYPE OF PEOPLE ATTEND THE COURSES?

Most of our courses are attended by industrial organic chemists. Some are fairly recently out of university, whilst others have more experience but may be transferring to a different area in their company.

WHAT VENUES DO YOU USE?

We usually book a hotel in an area close to an international airport. You will be sent a link to the venue so you can see what facilities they have eg swimming pool, gym, restaurants etc.

ARE MEALS PROVIDED?

We reserve bedrooms in the hotel, some of which include breakfast. The course will include morning and afternoon coffee breaks and lunch on each day. We also arrange for a course dinner on the first night of the event.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

We suggest casual attire or something comfortable. You do not need to wear a jacket and tie. We suggest you bring a jumper or sweater, as sometimes the training rooms may vary in temperature.

IS THERE ANY PRE-COURSE READING OR INFORMATION BEFORE THE EVENT?

No – you will be given a book containing all the course material when you arrive at the venue – this will provide all the information you need.

WHAT DO WE NEED TO BRING TO THE COURSE?

Just bring yourself! You will be provided with a pen/pencil, course manual and paper. If you would like to bring your own notebook and pen – that’s entirely up to you.
