The invoice will be sent out by email within 2-3 working days of training to the company address on the file.

All certificates and cards are sent by Royal Mail recorded delivery to the company address on the Order unless specified otherwise prior to the end date of the course. We do not charge delivery however, We cannot be held responsible for mailed items once they have left Our possession. If You fail to advise Us that You have not received Your delivery within One calendar month weeks of the end date of Your course, you will be fully charged for the cost of any replacement certificate provided.

Changes to Bookings – more than 8 working days from the start of your course

We will be pleased to change Your booking, subject to availability and there is no charge for this.

You may also request a refund of any monies paid, up to 8 working days of the start of the course You have booked. Please note our administration and handling charge of £15 for processing customer refunds.
Late bookings
A ‘late booking’ is an Order that is made less than 3 full working days before the due start date of a course. If You place an Order within this time frame, You do so on the understanding that should You wish to cancel the Order, change the Order, postpone the Order, or You do not attend the course for whatever reason You will still be liable for the full cost of Your booking.
Payment
All payments for training course Orders should be received by Us in full 30 days before the course start date unless You have an signed contract and We have agreed otherwise in writing or the Order has been placed within 30 days of the course start date, whereby payment will be due immediately at the time of the Order. Time for payment shall be of the essence of the Contract.

Non-Payment
If, for whatever reason, your payment is not received by Us by the due date, the Order still stands, and payment remains outstanding.
