If you cancel within 1 month of an event no refund will be given. You can defer but an administration fee of £50 will be charged if you wish to transfer to a later date*.

**If you transfer to a later course date and the course fee has gone up, we will ask you to pay the difference. If the course fee goes down, no refund will be given. Deferments will only be permitted once. If you do not take up your deferred place once you have confirmed your attendance, no refunds will be made. Deferments will only be allowed for up to 2 years from the date you cancelled.
