Where is the course held?

The venue for the course is Margaret Street, Ashton Under Lyne, OL7 0QQ, near Portland Basin. Exit the A635 when you see a sign for Portland Basin onto Welbeck Street. Then take your first right onto Victoria Street, then your first left onto Margaret Street - look out for the set of green fencing facing the big chimney!

Do I need to bring my laptop with me?

It would be an advantage as you will be given some time for “hands-on” at the end of the course.

Do I need to add the course to my Outlook calendar?

Yes, but only once you have booked onto the course. Once you have booked your place, you will receive a confirmation email - in the email click "add to my calendar" to ensure you have a reminder of the course, time and location.

How do I cancel my place on the course?

Should you need to cancel your attendance, please log into Eventbrite, select Tickets, then Manage Order, then click Cancel Order. NOTE: you do not need to contact ICT.Training@tameside.gov.uk once you have cancelled your attendance in Eventbrite.

Could the course be cancelled?

Courses will only run when there is at least 3 delegates booked on the course. You will be informed, via the mobile phone number you leave when booking your place, if the course is going to be cancelled.
