Mobile phones do not need to be switched off during the course, you may have need for family to be
able to contact you, but you are not permited to use the phone for social calls or for texting.
It is very offputting and inconsiderate to other course members.

lack of child care etc.). Fees are not refundable or transferable in this instance.
To ensure fairness, these terms apply to everyone, and there are good reasons for them.
Unlike many training providers we will run a course, with the overheads that this incurs,
even if we have very low student numbers - you may be one of only two students booked which,
if you do not attend, may mean cancelling the course causing loss of time and money to the tutor
and other student. In addition our courses are very popular, and it's quite likely that we turned away
another student who could have taken your place.
In exceptional circumstances of extreme and sudden onset of illness, or other emergancies
you must contact the course tutor, prior to the start of the course,
by telephone to explain your absence and to follow up in writing
Proof will be required
At our discretion we may be prepared, for an additional fee - dependant on course ie 25%
to offer you a place on the next available course.
If you are not able to take up this place, then no refund will be offered.
We rarely have to cancel a course, but if we do we will transfer you onto the next date
that's convenient for you and has availability at no extra charge.
We will always try give you at least 48 hours notice of a cancellation
(unless exceptional circumstances apply)
and if no other date suits you we will issue you with a full refund of all monies paid.
(unless you have previously amended a date etc)
