Cancellation

  • We want our training sessions to run at full capacity to ensure value for money and to get the most from group interactions and discussions.  Canceling attendance at a course should only be done as a last resort. Demand is high for our training sessions with many having a waiting list and when a booking is made, others are turned away on the strength of that booking.  If you have to cancel a training session we would appreciate as much notice as possible (at least 48 hours).
