Joining CAT short courses - COVID-19 measures
What cleaning and hygiene arrangements will be in place during short courses?CAT has a range of indoor and outdoor teaching locations, indoor classes will mainly take place in the WISE building. Communal spaces, toilets and touch points are cleaned on a daily basis.
Hand sanitising stations are available around the WISE building and the CAT site.
We ask all students to help protect themselves and others through regular handwashing.
We advise voluntarily wearing face masks in crowded indoor public places.
We also ask that you be respectful of others who may have different views on wearing masks.
We have opened up our WISE bedrooms, which all have en-suite toilets and showers, but we are operating these as single occupancy only rather than the usual shared rooms.
This means we have a reduced amount of accommodation available.
Further details will be available on booking.
Please get in touch if you would like to join a short course and don’t need to use CAT’s accommodation.
Because we need to carefully plan seating for socially distanced meals, short course participants staying elsewhere will still need to join us at CAT for breakfast, lunch and dinner, at a charge of £21 per day.
If you need to cancel due to COVID you’ll be able to transfer credit to a future course.
For cancellation for other reasons, our standard Terms and Conditions will apply.
Should a short course participant fall ill whilst here we would ask that arrangements are made to return home safely, avoiding public transport, and to enter self-isolation.
Whilst arrangements are made the guest will be asked to remain isolated in their room, with food and other essentials being delivered to them safely.
The room will remain unused for a minimum of 72 hours and then deep cleaned.
Should you fall ill within a week of being on-site, we ask that you contact us so that we can contact anyone who was on-site at the same time, so that they can take measure for their own health and welfare as necessary.
Please note that in these circumstances we will not divulge the names or details of the individuals effected in our communications.
We are monitoring the situation daily, and all of the information on this page is subject to change based on government guidelines.
If Welsh Government guidance changes due to a worsening COVID environment, we may have to cancel courses. In these circumstances we will refund your course fees.
Yes, CAT Visitors Centre is open. See our visitor centre pages for details.
During lockdown we developed a popular new online version of our Zero Carbon Britain course. We continue to offer this course online and along with other new online courses.
