Terms on moving your course (scheduled training)

• You will never lose your training course

Certitec cancelling your course – all booking types

• This also applies to any subsequent re-arrangement of the course – you have full flexibility to still cancel since the original course was cancelled by Certitec
• The delegate has full control over future events with this scenario

Arriving late on any day of the course

• If a delegate arrives more than 60 minutes late for their course we reserve the right to deny the delegate entry to the classroom or remote session for the remainder of the course. This is because it might affect the flow of the training for the rest of the delegates
• You have full flexibility to re-arrange but the original course will marked as 'run' and there will be no future claim on any refund if any future course cannot run

Delegate substitutions

• Delegate substitutions are acceptable but the substitute delegate meets all course prerequisites and is approved by Certitec over email

Rescheduling by Certitec

• In the event that it is necessary for Certitec to cancel or reschedule a course, we will give a minimum of 6 working days notice.
