From their site I found the following. So only for England & Wales but surely worth someone contacting them to see if it would be possible north of the border (even at a cost as this is set up as a charity) or why in fact it only covers England & Wales.
The chestnut up here is someone finding the time & resources to run it. I know SJC looked into running a one day course but it's very difficult to find a mutual date where everyone can attend as in service days tend to get used up with other vital things & let's face it there will be very few teaching staff willing to give up a day over the weekend.

Weekly visits from a CSC chess tutor.
