4.3 We will do our best to provide the Services contained in the Proposal. Time for the purpose of completion of modules, courses, certifications or work placements, should they form part of the proposal, shall not be of the essence.

4.3.2 the successful completion of exams and assessments
4.3.3 your full attendance
4.3.4 changes in requirements specified by Awarding Organisations and regulators. Awarding bodies include, but are not limited to, City & Guilds; EAL; LCL Awards

Where changes have occurred for reasons outside of your control the Company will not charge you any fees.
4.4 If the delay in us recommencing performing the Services will be unreasonable and excessive (and in any event longer than 6 months - except where the delay has been occasioned by your failure to contact us to book or arrange any of the training modules detailed in the Proposal or you have elected not to have attended on the training dates offered by us to you) then we will offer you the option of either:
(a)continuing to wait until we are able to recommence performing the Services or
(b)cancelling the contract. If you choose this option then you will only have to pay for any Services we have performed up to the date of cancellation.

The company will make reasonable efforts to provide the service as soon as the restrictions are lifted.
4.6 You and we agree that we are not liable for any aspect of an awarding organisation certification process including its timescales, quality assurance processes or any other requirements of any awarding body or organisation. If the Services require you to be registered with an awarding organisation then the choice of such organisation is within our discretion (as there are a number of such organisations that provide qualifications of the same level). We have the right to re-register you with another awarding organisation after you have been previously registered with a different awarding organisation. The reasons for this may include but not limited to:
4.6.1 the Awarding organisation ceases delivery of a qualification
4.6.2 the company takes the view that the services being delivered by an Awarding Organisation are no longer suitable.
4.6.3 the Awarding Organisation causes undue delay in the certification process.

5. Collaborating Centre
A Collaborating Centre is a designated company, institution, or department that has been contracted to support the Company's delivery of learner activities through the implementation of a Scheme of Works that is agreed with the Company through a Collaborating Centre Agreement. The Collaborating Centre Agreement is a legally binding document signed by both parties, which contains the undertakings of the parties, duration of designation, objectives, activities, and expected results and outcomes.5.1 The Scheme of Works includes all theory examinations and practical training elements of the Service and includes the facilitation of practical training and assessment modules, formal exams, practical assessments and includes registration with awarding organisation(s) for the qualification(s) described in the Proposal.
5.2 The Company will provide practical training either at its own training facilities or at the training facilities of a Collaborating centre. The Company will monitor the Collaborating centres general standards but cannot be held responsible for any unforeseen issues that may arise that are outside of our control.
5.2 We may need to share your personal information with a Collaborating Centre for the purposes of performing this Agreement.
6. Training Locations
The training location is specified in the Proposal. Training locations are not guaranteed and are subject to availability. As part of this agreement, you accept that the Company reserves the right to change your training location within reason. Reasons why the company may ask you to change training location include but are not limited to:(a) If the delay in us recommencing performing the Services will be unreasonable and excessive (and in any event longer than 6 months- except where the delay has been occasioned by your failure to contact us to book or arrange any of the training modules detailed in the Proposal or you have elected not to have attended on the training dates offered by us to you) then we will offer you the option of either:
(b) poor performance of a Collaborating Centre
(c) delays with the certification process caused by a Collaborating Centre
(d) inability of a Collaborating Centre to service larger than expected demand for training events
A reasonable alternative training location is defined as one that is within 60 miles of travelling distance by road from the address specified in the Proposal. Although the distance specified will usually be considered reasonable, all relevant circumstances will be taken into account when determining what a reasonable alternative venue is.
6.1 If we ask you to change your training location and the travelling distance is longer than 60 miles, then the company will offer you appropriate remedies in the form of travel expenses for the additional mileage at 25p per mile when you travel using your own vehicle or public transport. Alternatively, you will have the option to cancel your course and receive a refund in relation to the elements of the service which you have not yet received.
6.2 The location where you attend the first in-centre module which is the formal theory examination element will also be the location where you must attend the remaining modules of your in-centre elements of practical training and assessments which must be booked separately according to your course progress and availability. For the avoidance of doubt, all training modules, apart from theory training modules, must be attended at the same location unless specified or agreed by the Company.
6.3 In the event that you are required by the Company to change training location, you accept that you may be required to change awarding organisations and also may need to repeat some practical training elements, formal examinations and/or assessments. If we request that you change your training location, you will not be required to pay additional fees for any additional registrations, training or assessments that this move might entail.
7. Training and Assessment Dates and Timing
You will be responsible for contacting us to book dates to attend training modules. Where we have not agreed with you specific dates for any particular training modules these will have been marked in the Proposal as “TBC”. TBC means “To Be Confirmed”. You will then be responsible for booking available dates by contacting our administration office. The details for the administration office are stated at point 10 - Contacting each other. We arrange our in-centre training weeks for a number of customers at the same time and you will be offered to attend those training weeks on a first come first served basis with our other customers.7.1 When training dates or placements have been agreed between you and us and then you elect to change those booked dates you can do so but you may have to pay us an administration charge of £50 per day for each day of training or placement that is moved before your dates can be rearranged. The circumstances for any request to change to an alternative date whereby a charge is not applied, includes but is not limited to:
(i) illness (with medical certificate)
(ii) bereavement within immediate family
(iii) travel problems, namely cancellation of flights, trains or buses and an alternative method is proven to not be available.
7.2 Within the training centres we will do our best to provide you with the tools and equipment which you will need to complete your training and we will ensure that these are of a suitable quality and standard for training purposes. You will be required to provide your own suitable footwear i.e. protective boots. Any other Personal Protective Equipment will be provided by the Company when undertaking practical training.
7.2.1 If you change a training date by agreement with us and by that time we have already paid examination and registration fees for you so that additional examination and registration fees become payable then you must pay us those additional examination and registration fees.
7.2.2 You will be informed if any other fees are payable when you inquire about changing the dates, so you can make an informed decision about whether to change the dates or remain with the current dates that you have booked. You will be given as much notice as is practicably possible of any required changes, to reduce the chances of further charges being payable.
7.2.3 In the absence of provision of a sick note certified by your doctor, if you are absent for any period having already started on the attendance of a course, completion of that course at a later date will not be offered to you free of charge as it will be your responsibility to attend the course. However, you will be able to pay to attend the part of the course that had been missed at a later date.
7.3 Sometimes, we might be required to change the agreed training dates as well. If you require to book accommodation or travel in relation to specific dates, we ask you to make contact with the Company 3 working days prior to attending to confirm that the dates are going ahead before booking any accommodation or travel. A list of reasons why we may have to change those dates include but are not limited to:
7.3.1 Urgent maintenance
7.3.2 Change in regulations imposed upon the Company
7.3.3 Illness of members of staff such as tutors and administrators
7.3.4 The availability of a Collaborating centre
When changes occur for the above reasons, then the prices quoted will remain the same.
7.4 If we cannot start or complete performing the Services within a reasonable period from the date(s) we have agreed or notified;
(i) you may choose either to continue to wait until we can start performing the Services or
(ii) or you can cancel the contract. If you choose this option then you will only have to pay for any Services we have performed up to the date of cancellation. If you have made payment(s) to us in excess of the amount of Services we have performed, we will return the difference to you within 14 days of cancellation.
7.5 There will usually be a period of time between modules therefore this right to cancel will only arise if that period of time is of an unreasonably long period. If the period of delay is of a reasonable period then you will not have the right to cancel without penalty,
7.6 For the purposes of this contract, a reasonable period of time for waiting in between individual modules is defined as 3 months unless it is due to a situation outside of our control and unless the delay has been occasioned by your failure to contact us to book or arrange any of the training modules detailed on the Proposal or you have elected not to have attended the training dates offered by us to you.
7.7 Excessive Delay
7.7.1 If the delay in us recommencing performing the Services will be unreasonable and excessive (and in any event longer than 6 months - except where the delay has been occasioned by your failure to contact us to book or arrange any of the training modules detailed in the Proposal or you have elected not to have attended on the training dates offered by us to you) then we will offer you the option of either:
(i) continuing to wait until we are able to recommence performing the Services or
(ii) cancelling the contract. If you choose this option then you will only have to pay for any Services we have performed up to the date of cancellation. If you have made payment(s) to us in excess of the amount of Services we have performed, we will return the difference to you within 28 days of cancellation.

We offer our services to customers using a dynamic pricing strategy which means that courses or products are charged at a rate or price according to the needs of our business. We reserve to ourselves the right to change prices at which we offer services to our customers based on calculations that take into account amongst other things competitor pricing, specific payment plans, supply and demand, seasonal variations, early booking for courses starting at some point in the future and other external factors in the market. You should be aware therefore that when attending training modules or courses on certain dates that different prices may have been paid by different customers. Except as provided for elsewhere in these terms and conditions we will not change the price that you have agreed to pay to us.Application Form
