Invoices will be issued with all bookings. *Please note that due to rising costs for training we no longer provide buffet facilities, could you please ensure you bring your own food; sorry if this causes any inconvenience.
Participants who wish to cancel a booking must do so 48 hours prior to the date of the course via telephone. The phone number to cancel MANDATORY courses is (01267) 246560.
Participants who fail to attend a MANDATORY training course will be fined £50 and will not be permitted to book on to future courses until this fee has been paid. These changes have been necessary due to a high number of unfilled courses, and wasted places. We are keen to ensure that as many staff as possible can access the training they require before certificates expire. This is becoming increasingly challenging with budget reductions.
