If, once You have started a course/event, you are unable to complete it due to unforeseen circumstances, We may consider deferring Your place to a future course/event. This will incur an additional cost of £25 to cover administration charges. 

 

If for any reason We have to cancel a course or other event you are booked on, We will refund you in full. We will endeavour to let you know as soon as possible. Alternatively, We may ask You if You would like to transfer your payment to a future event if one is available.
