Wearing of face masks or other covering by the client/pupil or the trainer must be worn unless you have a good reason not to. This includes if:
- you have a physical or mental illness or impairment, or a disability that means you cannot put on, wear or remove a face covering
- putting on, wearing or removing a face covering would cause you severe distress
- you need to remove it during your test to avoid harm or injury or the risk of harm or injury to yourself or others
You need to say if you have a good reason not to wear a face covering when you arrange your training. Your training will be cancelled if you come without a face covering and you did not declare you could not wear one when you arranged your training. The trainer might also choose to wear gloves and use disposable seat covers, these will be reviewed as per Government and Public Health England guidelines.
