Resuming Classroom Training

With the current recommendations by the Dutch government, educational activities are set to resume 2 June. JAA TO is closely monitoring the developments and will decide whether classroom training activities will in principle restart from this date onwards as scheduled, as the headquarter facilities opens for business again. Please pay special attention to the social media and website updates as course schedules can change.

For the sake of containing the spread of the virus and with general public health concerns in mind, we would urge individuals either traveling from high-risk coronavirus zones, who are not feeling well or who are displaying signs characteristic of a cold (running nose, cough, fever) not to travel to us but instead contact us to discuss moving the seat to a later session or possibly attending training courses virtually. The same applies if an individual falls ill during the course of a training, in which case they should return to their hotel and together we will discuss the best way to continue attendance.

JAA TO is closely monitoring the situation and will adjust to local authorities’ recommendations if necessary. JAA TO business resumes in principle as scheduled on 2 June until further notice. However, JAA TO Staff remains operational working remotely and are ready to respond to your email; any questions, please contact us at training@jaato.com.
