During the COVID 19 pandemic IEMA (Institute of Environmental Management and Assessment) have agreed all training can be temporarily offered online to encourage remote learning opportunities whilst ensuring that training delivery continues to align with government advice on travel/social distancing/working from home. This gives staff the opportunity if they are working from home or have been furloughed to use the time to undertake training. This is for a fixed period of 6 months. The government information website advises that staff are able to undertake training whilst furloughed.
