*The start date for courses spread over more than one weekend / block of days is the first day of the first weekend / block of days. We cannot refund for subsequent weekends / days with such courses. If possible we will try to accommodate people on future dates but this is at the discretion of Eclipse Training Associates and is not guaranteed. If agreed, all changes will incur our standard administration charge of £20 (incl VAT) before the change is processed.
Cancellation protocol applies to all cancellations, including those due to medical, personal or family reasons. Should you wish to cancel your space on any course AND you find a replacement for your space we will simply charge you a £20 (incl VAT) administration fee. This will be payable by your replacement course delegate on arrival at the course. If no suitable replacement is offered by you, this will be treated as a late cancellation and the above charges will apply.
Cancellation by us We will always try our best to avoid cancelling an event. If circumstances occur that force us to cancel an event you will receive a full refund of any course fees paid or the opportunity to transfer your place to the same course on another date or another course/s up to the same value.
We aim to give a minimum of 1-2 weeks notice when cancelling an event. Eclipse Training Associates are not held liable for any additional expenses you incur through cancelling the event e.g. travel expenses and accommodation. If there are circumstances beyond our control which cause us to cancel or change your trip such as war, riot, industrial dispute, terrorist activity, natural or nuclear disaster, fire or adverse weather conditions, we will not refund or pay you any compensation or be liable for any other expenses to you.
Right to refuse: We reserve the right to refuse your acceptance on a course if we feel it is outside your scope of practice and/or may put other participants at risk or injury or discomfort.

As part of your initial fee you are entitled a maximum of 2 re assessments of written and practical work. Any additional assessment will be subject to a fee.
