Severe weather conditions
We would like to remind all our teachers and class members to take extra care. Weather forecasters predict that the freezing temperatures are likely to continue for up to another week. It is unlikely that your class will be operating and some classes could be cancelled with no notice at all during the severe weather conditions that the UK is experiencing at the moment. Please check your local radio stations or websites for further advice on how to keep safe in these extreme wintery conditions.
The head office is located in a rural area and it may be difficult for staff to open the office as normal. If you require urgent assistance please contact your local Area Administrator, ADD or Course Director for advice. For all non-urgent matters please email, fax, send a letter, or leave a message on the answermachine at EXTEND's Head office. Hopefully, the office will return to normal opening hours when the weather improves.
