General
These Terms and Conditions shall apply to all work carried out in the provision of services by Course Academy to the Customer in accordance with any booking form signed by or authorised with a Purchase Order No. by a representative of the Customer. No additions to, or modifications of, these Terms and Conditions shall have effect unless expressly agreed in writing by both parties and expressed to be amendments to these Terms and Conditions. Course Academy employees or agents are not authorised to make any representations whatsoever concerning the provision of services unless confirmed by Course Academy in writing. The Customer acknowledges that it does not rely on, and waives any breach of, any such representations that are not so confirmed.

Course booking
Bookings can be accepted at any time up to the course start date, subject to availability. An authorised* booking form must be received from the Customer within 5 days of the provisional booking being made. The authorised* booking form represents acceptance by you and confirms your place. Course Academy reserves the right to allocate provisional places to other Customers if provisional places have not been confirmed. Confirmed bookings can be made by letter, fax or email - additionally, provisional bookings can be made by telephone. On receipt of an authorised booking form, joining instructions will be sent to the delegate(s).

Payment terms
Full payment is required 10 days prior to the start of the course, or immediately if the course is booked within 10 days of its start date. All prices quoted are exclusive of VAT.

Delegate suitability
It is the Customer's responsibility to ensure that the course is suitable for their requirements. All delegates should have read and understood the course outline and met then necessary prerequisites. Delegates who do not meet the course prerequisites may be asked to leave by the training provider. Course Academy urges clients to support this policy, which is designed to protect the Customer's investment.

Delegate substitutions
Delegate substitutions may be made prior to the start of the course without penalty, providing that the replacement delegate is suitable (see "Delegate suitability" above).

Training times
Delegates will be advised of the start and finish times of courses in joining instructions.

Course descriptions and Course changes
The Course Academy Course Directory is provided for information purposes only and does not constitute an offer for a particular course or programme. Course Academy constantly strives to keep the content of its course directory up-to-date and therefore reserves the right to modify the specification of a course without notice to the Customer. The course title, duration, cost, content and location are liable to change at any time without notice, in which case the client may be charged for any subsequent increase in course costs.

Course manuals and materials Course manuals and materials may vary from the course descriptions listed within the Course Academy website and therefore Course Academy will not be held liable for any differences between course descriptions and course manuals and materials.

Engaging with Course Academy trainers

Customers of Course Academy must not try to contract directly with Course Academy trainers or associate trainers outside the terms of our booking agreement.   Any customer who is found to be doing this will be in breach of the training contract and Course Academy will undertake legal proceedings as appropriate.
