In order to be able to provide suitable training facilities throughout the Avon and Somerset area, the ICT Training Unit has its own mobile training classroom - a bus that was converted and fitted out to meet our own specifications for training delivery and comfort.

The bus caters for eight students (including disabled access) plus one trainer in a very user-friendly environment. Each workstation comprises a computer along with adjustable chairs and footrests. Users can either log on locally to an individual workstation or can access the force network. A 40 inch LCD screen with two complementary screens have been installed to enable all students to view demonstrations from any position within the bus.

The air conditioning and heating systems on board are very efficient, allowing training to be carried out in all types of weather conditions.

The bus is also available for hire, subject to the appropriate power supply being available.
