Study during COVID-19
The pandemic is expected to bring major lifestyle changes in the way we live, work, play and study. Despite restrictions of physical distancing, we run face to face study for batches of 10 students. We are also equipped to deliver classes online. We have however opted to continue delivering the Certificate III face to face. The nature of study demands physical presence to engage in physical activity with distance. While we maintain over 3 feet distance inside the classroom, we maintain a strict 6 feet or 2-meter distance in our activity classes. We adhere strictly to HPA Guidelines.
