Where are the courses held?

Most courses are delivered at a client’s venue or online via video conferencing. We are based around the Kent area but can travel further afield, covering the whole of the UK. Prices reflect Kent delivery within 15 miles of our registered office postcode and services outside of this area may incur travel costs which will be made clear in the quote.

Where SDM Training Services have provided the location, the service will be delivered in a venue not owned by ourselves. We take pride in using socially responsible locations to deliver our training events.  The training room is booked exclusively by us for the service so it is unlikely that you will be disturbed. However, there may be other events taking place in the building, but every care is made to keep disruption to a minimum both in the planning and running of the service.


Booking price:

SDM Training Services agree to make the commitment that the price you see advertised is what you pay, there are never any hidden extras. We are always happy to provide written quotations prior to any work being agreed. Where there are unavoidable or unexpected additional costs, these will be agreed with the client prior to these being incurred.
