2. Payment for all courses should be made at time of booking and must be settled prior to course start date, otherwise delegates will not be permitted to join the course.
3. In exceptional circumstances it may be necessary for us to cancel and/or reschedule training courses. In such cases we will endeavour to give as much notice as possible, the offer of a free transfer to another course date or a full refund of course fees paid.

If delegates arrive late for a course, or are absent from any session, we reserve the right to refuse to accept them for training if we feel they will gain insufficient knowledge or skill in the time remaining. In all such cases, the full course fee remains payable.

First Aiders - Guidelines for candidates and employers
The duties of a First Aider can be physically demanding. It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that candidates are free from any condition which would affect their capability, and that they have the aptitude to cope with an intensive course of study. We welcome candidates with disabilities for training, but the responsibility to ensure that they are appropriately supported in their workplace remains with the employer.
