Course bookings may be made via email and telephone. However, they are not confirmed until receipt of a fully completed and signed booking form, complete with client’s purchase order number (where applicable). To guarantee availability of places, this confirmation must be received at least 14 working days prior to the course commencement.
All confirmed bookings will be acknowledged via email and joining instructions will be issued two weeks prior to the course commencement date, which the client’s contact must then pass on to each of their delegates.
Clients may substitute candidates, without penalty, up to the course commencement date for the course only, providing written notification is received. Where this involves an external examination body e.g., LCL, substitution for the examination may not be possible at short notice.
Where bookings include transport/accommodation, it is the client’s responsibility to advise the organisation of local transport requirements at least one week prior to course commencement. This is critical to airport pick up, when required. Where bookings include accommodation, any subsequent cancellation of that accommodation will be subject to the hotel’s cancellation policy.
Payment is due 7 days prior to course commencement, unless the client has been granted account facilities by the organisation, in which case, payment is due within 30 days of the invoice date. Failure to pay in the specified time will be subject to the Late Payment of Commercial Debts (Interest) Act 1998 / EU Directive 2011/7/EU (where appropriate), plus an administrative fee of £50.00 (where appropriate) and the withdrawal of any early payment discount offered.
No fee will be charged for the first change of the course date. A fee of 25% of the quoted price will be charged for the second change of the course date. 100% of the quoted price will be charged for a third change. If you cancel after the first date change, a fee of 25% will be charged, with clause 7. holding primacy.
No fee will be charged for cancellations received in writing by the organisation at least 14 working days prior to the course commencement date. A cancellation charge of 50% of the full course fee will be charged for cancellations within 14 working days, and 100% charge for cancellation within 7 days.
For Faraday based courses, unless stated to the contrary, fees include digital course manuals provided on USB flash drives, certificates and a light lunch. Fees are quoted exclusive of Government Value Added Tax, which is charged as appropriate where applicable. Paper copies of course manuals can be requested at £25 + VAT (if applicable) per copy. In the case of our Training Packages, the cost is £25 + VAT (if applicable) per copy per every course covered in the Training Package.
All courses are offered on the basis of there being sufficient candidates to justify holding the course. Where this or other circumstances force the organisation to cancel a course, liability shall be limited to a refund of any fees paid and alternative dates suggested.
Course certificates are dispatched to the client’s contact following completion of the course and full payment of the invoice. The organisation cannot accept responsibility for the competence level of any particular candidate upon completion of the course. Replacement copies of The Faraday Centre certificates are charged £10 + VAT for a hard copy and £10 + VAT for a digital copy. The LCL certificate reprints are charged at £35 + VAT.
Charges for courses tailored to customer’s specific requirements are levied via negotiation.

All candidates will be expected to fully attend for the duration of the course and in line with set timetables and lesson plans. Should the candidate complete their course obligations & assessments earlier than scheduled, special permission may be granted to leave earlier (e.g. to accommodate a long travel time upon course completion).
