2.2 You may only book Courses through our site if you are at least 18 years old.

2.3 As a consumer, you have legal rights in relation to Courses that are not as described. Advice about your legal rights is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. Nothing in these Terms will affect these legal rights.

Basis of Sale 

3.1 Our website is set-up to guide you through the steps you need to take to book a Course with us.  You are only able to book a Course if there are places available.  Our site process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your reservation for the Course.  Please take the time to read and check your reservation at each page of the order process.

3.2 When you confirm and pay for your reservation on the Course, you offer to buy the place on the Course at the prices indicated.

3.3 After placing a reservation, you will receive an e-mail from us that confirms your attendance on the Course (Course Confirmation).  The Contract between us will only be formed when we send you the Course Confirmation.

3.5 If we are unable to provide you with a place on the Course, for example because the course is fully booked or no longer available or because of an error in the price on our site, we will inform you of this by e-mail and we will not process your request.  If you have already paid for the Course, we will refund you the full amount as soon as possible.

Payment & Prices 

4.1 The price of the Course will be as quoted on the site at the time you submit your reservation request and will be advised during the check-out process before you confirm  your reservation request.   We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Courses are correct at the time when the relevant information was entered onto the system.  However, if we discover an error in the price of the Course(s) you reserved, please see Paragraph 4.5 for what happens in this event.

4.2 The price of a Course is VAT inclusive (where applicable) at the applicable current rate chargeable in the UK for the time being.  However, if the rate of VAT changes between the date of your reservation and the date of the Course, we will adjust the VAT you pay, unless you have already paid for the Course in full before the change in VAT takes effect.   VAT receipts are available on request.

4.3 Course prices are liable to change at any time, but changes will not affect reservations already placed.

4.4 Payment can be made using Master Card, Visa, Switch, Delta, Maestro and PayPal.  Payment for the Courses is in advance.

4.5 It is always possible that, despite our reasonable efforts, some of the Courses on our site may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices as part of our Course Confirmation procedures so that:

(a) where the Course’s correct price is less than the price stated on our site, we will charge the lower amount. However, if the pricing error is obvious and unmistakable and could have reasonably been recognised by you as a mispricing, we do not have to provide the Course to you at the incorrect (lower) price; and

(b) if the Course’s correct price is higher than the price stated on our site, we will contact you in writing by e-mail as soon as possible to inform you of this error and we will give you the option of continuing to book the Course at the correct price or cancelling your reservation. We will not process your reservation until we have your instructions. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the reservation process, we will treat the reservation as cancelled and notify you in writing.
