The Training Location

The bulk of training in England and Wales happens from our original home Ipswich in Suffolk.  Whilst it sounds like the end of the earth, it does actually enjoy good transport links:-

• Teaching venue 10mins from A12 and A14 interchance (with easy access then to M25, M6 and M11)
• Railway station walking distance of venue, on main line from London Liverpool Street (1hr 15mins) and Norwich (1hr)
• 45minutes drive from Stanstead airport

 

The Training Venue

The Novotel Ipswich has been chosen for its proximity to the train station and to the town centre, making this a great base for trainees who choose to travel with their families.  Within easy reach is Christchurch Park, shopping, swimming and tourist attractions such as Suffolk Food Halls and Jimmy's Farm.  We are also a 15minute drive from the coast!  There are a host of surrounding restaurants and cafes to suit all budgets plus of course catering within the Hotel.  Novotel Ipswich welcome families with young children!
