There are trained First Aid officers on site and a First Aid room in the main building. Please advise reception if you need to use the First Aid room due to illness.

Any incidents or accidents must be immediately reported to your trainer or a member of PTS staff, who will be able to direct you to the most appropriate First Aid officer.
PTS staff or First Aid officers are not permitted to issue you with painkillers or any other kind of medication.

Parking

Parking is available on site in two fenced areas as you enter the main entry gate (one on either side).
Please secure your vehicle and any loose items in utilities or trucks as the car parks are not patrolled and are open for general entry during the day.
