Terms & Conditions

Bookings close 2 working days before the start of the course, however we do sometimes get late cancellations. Please contact the office directly to enquire about places after this date. Applicants should ensure they follow their agency procedures for booking training. 

Please note, on face to face events, tea and coffee will not be provided on free-of-charge  events. In order to keep costs down and ensure that we optimise on training opportunities available, lunch will not be provided unless otherwise explicitly stated on the event booking page.   

Certificates - will only be issued for attendance of the full course. Certificates will only be released on completion of an evaluation form. Delegates should ensure they can attend the whole session and after the training should login to their account to complete the online evaluation and then be able to download their certificate of attendance.  

Late arrivals - Participants turning up late for training events may be turned away, or prevented from Teams admission at the discretion of the trainer. Delegates who are denied entry by the training due to their late arrival will still be charged the full cost of the training event.   

Data Protection - We are required to inform individuals about the information we hold about them. HSCP records names, roles and contact details on a computerised database for the purposes of distributing the training information and to support the training records held by agencies. In addition, course evaluations and application details are held on an electronic database.  

Attendance and non-attendance information is recorded and reported to HSCP.
