TERMS AND CONDITIONS

These Terms and Conditions apply to all work carried out in the provision of training by Specialized Training to any bookings made by the delegate or authorised by a representative of the delegate. No additions or modifications to these Terms and Conditions shall have effect unless expressly agreed in writing by both parties.

 

The terms and conditions set out herein are a complete statement of the agreement between the parties.

 

COURSE BOOKING

 

Bookings are accepted at any time up to the course start date, subject to availability. All prices quoted are inclusive of VAT at the prevailing rate.  Specialized Training reserves the right to refuse admittance to any delegate for whom the course fees have not been paid.

 

Once a delegate has made a booking for a Specialized Training training course, joining instructions will be sent via email or post.

 

Reservations will not be complete until Specialized Training has received full payment for the chosen course.

 

RESCHEDULED

 

In the unlikely event of extreme circumstances, it may be necessary for Specialized Training to reschedule a course upon which a booking has been made.  Specialized Training reserves the right to re-schedule the commencement date of any course.

 

Specialized Training will offer the choice of-accepting alternative arrangements or cancelling you’re booking and receiving a full refund of all payments made.

 

Specialized Training reserves the right to change the course venue in extreme circumstances to a venue within a 5 miles radius of the original location.  Specialized Training does not accept liability for payments made to third parties by or on behalf of a delegate (e.g. in respect of travel, accommodation, or subsistence).

 

CANCELLATION AND TRANSFER POLICY

 

In cases whereby the delegate will be unfit or unable to attend a booked course, Specialized Training will permit one re-booking for a later date to the same course. The delegate must notify Specialized Training of their inability to attend the original course prior to its commencement.

 

If a booking is cancelled or transferred to a different course by the delegate Specialized Training reserves the right to charge the following fees, these terms also apply to the rebooking of resits.

Failure to turn up for a resit will result in the offer of 2 free resits being withdrawn. After the candidate has used the 2 free resits offer, Specialized Training will charge £36.50 per exam to resist.

DELEGATE AND COURSE SUITABILITY

 

It is the delegate’s responsibility to ensure that the course is suitable for their requirements.  All delegates should have read and understood the course outline and met the necessary pre-requisites if applicable. Delegates who do not meet the pre-requisites may be asked to leave by the training provider.

 

All delegates must have an appropriate command of both written and spoken English as all course content is delivered in English and all examinations/assessments can only be taken in English.

 

Where the course requires a degree of physical activity the delegate must raise any concerns regarding their health and fitness which would prevent them from participating.

 

DELEGATE SUBSTITUTION

 

A delegate may be substituted by another delegate prior to the start of the course without penalty, providing that the replacement delegate is suitable. (See delegate suitability above) and Specialized Training has been informed prior to course start date.

PUNCTUALITY AND ABSENCE

 

Delegates will be advised of the start and finish times in their joining instructions.
