Course Accessibility
We want as many people as possible to take part in our courses. This page sets out what to expect at each of our sites, so you can plan your visit and let us know in advance if you need anything adjusted, whether that's a physical access need, a learning need, or something else.
Please get in touch before booking if you have any access requirements. In several cases we can make changes if we know ahead of time, whether that's moving a session to a different room or checking a detail we haven't listed here.
A note on water safety training
Water safety courses involve entering the water as part of the practical training. This means participants need to be physically able to get in and out of the water to swim. If you can do this, our sites are open to you regardless of any other access needs, and we'll do what we can to support you. If you're unsure whether a course is suitable, contact us before booking and we'll talk it through.
At Bristol the training room is reached by stairs
