You can place a booking through the on-line booking form, phone or e-mail subject to all information required being provided. All course bookings are provisional until contracts are agreed.
I2. Provisional Bookings
A course date can be provisionally arranged until contracts are agreed. Provisional bookings will be held for the duration detailed on the quote, but do not guarantee the dates will be held as a course with an agreed contract will have priority over a provisional booking.

I3. Payment Terms

If we cancel the course due to lack of payment, the course fees will still be due. We will not be liable for any costs incurred due to us cancelling the course.
I4. Payment Method
You will be invoiced at the time of booking for the minimum course amount.
You will be invoiced after the course for any additional candidates that attended above the minimum number. Where the course is taught online, but resources are sent in advance of the sessions, additional numbers will be charged based on people registered in advance and resources sent.
You can agree to pay for set numbers at the time of booking, but if people do not turn up, we will not refund the difference.

Where social distancing has been maintained throughout, we may continue with the training and after the course, discuss with you how the individual completes the training.

I10. Late attendance / Missed Sessions
Accredited courses have minimum learning time which all students must achieve to meet the qualification requirements. If a candidate does not attend all sessions, they will not be able to achieve the accredited course and the fee will still be liable and there will be no refunds.

Accredited courses have set criteria that must be achieved by candidates in order to pass the course.

If a candidate has concerns as to how learning support needs will affect their attendance on a course, these should be discussed with us prior to or on booking. Once they arrive at the course, we cannot refund the place if they decide the course is not suitable and you have not previously discussed their concerns with us.
We will support candidates with learning support needs or physical adaptions to achieve assessments, through additional aids or finding methods that suit them. However, we cannot change the requirements of the assessment.
For further information on reasonable adjustments for assessments, please see the FAA Reasonable Adjustment policy we adhere to.
