We hold the right to ask for evidence of positive COVID-19 test where transfer/cancellation is requested. Where a second request to transfer is requested due to COVID-19, evidence of a positive test will be required.
If our trainer develops symptoms of COVID-19, we will make every effort to find a replacement trainer to deliver the training. Where we cannot find a replacement trainer, we will postpone the training providing as much notice as possible. We will offer transfers for all candidates to a rescheduled date or future course.
