The COVID Secure event training Sarah organised was just brilliant, and what we all need right now! I feel I can move forwards with my events with confidence, and be able to talk with much more knowledge to suppliers and clients around Covid. Ask the right questions, make the right plans. The course was a good mix of self learning and interactive team learning, which gave a good mix and really cemented what we had learnt. Thanks again Sarah, I am glad I found you, and will be asking my team to sign up for your other courses too!

Would definitely recommend this training to anyone involved in live events. It's also a great refresher of current H&S policies and processes, along with the COVID related guidelines. I thought I knew most of it before taking the training, but Sarah really makes you think and I gained so much extra knowledge from undertaking this training.

Testimonials From Other Training

Will be updated after this course launches

“I cannot recommend this course enough. Sarah is engaging, knowledgeable and passionate which adds to the brilliance of this course. For a course that was 4 hours it felt like 10 minutes and it left me feeling confident and ready to deliver covid safe events. If you are looking to invest in any training during these strange times then this course is a must! ”

Louise Hayler, Owner Event Agency

“Great course content, really helpful and as a presenter you are excellent, great pitch to keep you interested - H&S was not actually boring! The time did go really quick. The science behind it…… worked and helped understand it from a different perspective. The graphs relating to the areas were useful to know about and the links to the relevant websites will be really helpful as a guide. It was good to recap on what we were currently doing and review some of our current processes. ”

John Higham, General Manager Barnsdale Hall Hotel

“From beginning to end I found this course extremely useful and accessible. The learning hub is easy to navigate, the on-line modules interesting, engageing and easy to follow, and the live elements informative and pitched at just the right balance of science and practical. Sarah is a great trainer making space for her delegates to develop and learn - her passion for the industry and ensuring we are well equipped for a return to business translate to online learning beautifully. I would highly recommend this course to anyone working in the live events industry - we need to be fully compliant in order to guarantee a sustained return to live”

Sabine Edwards, Owner Pendleton Events Agency

“I completed the COVID secure events course last week and I can honestly say it was invaluable. With all of the conflicting advice and mass of information out there it was great to be given the actual guidelines and legislation that need to be followed. The course was extremely informative, very interesting and Sarah is a very engaging and competent trainer. ”

Joanna Martin, Owner Charm Event Directors, Event Agency

“Sarah comes from a event delivery perspective and knows the sector backwards and inside out – plus is totally up to date on COVID Secure guidance, legislation and all the ‘normal’ H&S stuff. Her expertise, positive attitude and practical approach meant I could focus on everything else to make the event a massive success – and be face to face with the micebook community once again at last!”

Chetan Shah, Micebook, Event Tech Company. Crea

“Keeping our team and our clients safe during such a challenging time has always been the number one priority at SomeBrightSpark and having such an informed COVID Secure expert and dedicated resource to ensure that happens has been invaluable. ”

Dan Rogers, Some Bright Spark, Creative Agency

“Sarah is my first point of call if I have any H&S requirements for an event, especially during COVID. She has worked tirelessly to ensure she is not only completely up to date with the ever changing guidance during COVID, but most valuable of all, can translate the guidance into an understandable format. With her ever optimistic and positive outlook she somehow makes it just a bit more fun ;-) ”
