Onshore, Offshore and Renewables Training

3^rd November 2020 HOTA to Remain Open to provide Training for all of our Customers during the period 5^th November – 2^nd December 2020

As per the very clear guidance from UK Government on Education, Work and support of Critical National Infrastructure, HOTA will be remaining open to provide the essential training required by our loyal customers during the period of “lockdown” in England from 5^th November and 2^nd December 2020.

This is fully aligned with the UK Government strategy of reducing the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 Virus within the population by restricting non-essential social interaction and social travel whilst protecting the economy, education and essential businesses delivering manufacturing, supply chain, power, food supply, etc.

HOTA have reviewed our Covid-19 Risk Assessment (see link below), Covid-19 Emergency Response Plan and updated our Covid-19 Delegate Factsheet.  We are committed to protecting the health, safety and welfare of anyone on our premises and continue to maintain our “Covid Secure” measures at all times and enhance these wherever possible.  We have recently purchased two high-volume disinfectant fogging machines which will enhance our already thorough deep cleaning and quarantine regimes even further.

If you have any questions or concerns please contact us directly at bookings@hota.org 

On behalf of the company we hope that you and your family stay safe and we look forward to seeing you in the near future.

It's been 1 month since we re-opened on the 2nd June and we have successfully trained over 350 plus delegates in a variety of courses  from a number of Industries including Offshore, Maritime, Renewables and Electrical Sectors - with excellent feedback !

In light of the ongoing uncertain progress of the Covid-19 Coronavirus pandemic and the latest UK Goverment update on non-esstential travel and staying at home, we have taken the difficult but socially responsible option to continue to suspend all open course face to face training for a further three weeks until Monday 11^th May 2020.  As a charity established thirty-three years ago by many of the key critical national infrastructure companies we serve and who’s business is protecting the health safety and welfare of all, we feel this is the only responsible course of action at this difficult time.

Please contact us directly at bookings@hota.org if you have any specific requests for remote training or closed safety critical courses for essential workers.

Are you due to refresh your training but are unable to do so due to the COVID-19 Situation?
