How to book

Online

To book a workshop or online course, simply click the ‘book now’ button on the course page to add it to your shopping basket. For attended courses, you will first need to select your preferred town and date and enter the number of delegates you wish to book on.

When you’re happy to proceed with your course purchase, click on the checkout basket (top right) and follow the instructions. You will be asked to create an account. This is the account you will also use to access any online courses you buy and view your bookings history.

You can pay by credit or debit card, or Paypal account if you have one, via the PayPal secure online payment page.

You will automatically receive a receipt for your booking from PayPal, followed shortly by one from the College. For attended courses we will also email you (within 1–2 working days) a confirmation letter, VAT receipt and map showing directions to the event venue. Please bring this confirmation letter with you on the day.

NB. If you don’t receive your email confirmation, please check your junk or spam folder as it may have gone in there.

By phone

You can also book by calling us on: 0044 (0)1323 811690 with your credit/debit card details. Our friendly team are always happy to help and our office is open 9.00am–5.30pm GMT/BST, Monday to Friday.

Once your payment has been processed, we will email your confirmation and receipt (usually within 1 working day). If you’ve booked on to an attended event, we will also email you directions of how to find the venue. Please bring this confirmation letter with you on the day.

By invoice

If your employer is paying for your place/s and you need an invoice, we will need an official purchase order or letter of authorisation from your organisation (which can be emailed to us) detailing who we should invoice and where. We regret that we cannot invoice individuals for places.

Please note:
All bookings are subject to availability and our cancellation policy.

General Information

Accredited CPD Certificates

Accredited CPD Certificates of Attendance are issued to participants who attend the entire 1- or 2-days’ training and complete the event’s evaluation form. CPD certificates are emailed to online course students on successful completion of their course.

Change of dates or delegate names

We are happy to change the name of the delegate who is to attend a course upon notification. We will also change the dates/venue of your booking (provided the newly preferred date/location has availability), but in order to avoid an administration charge, you must give us a minimum of seven days’ notice prior to the date of the initial event you had booked onto.

Cancellation Policy – attended workshops

We are happy to issue a credit note for a future course, minus a £15 administration fee, if you have to cancel your place on a workshop more than 7 days in advance, and are genuinely unable to attend due to unforeseen circumstances. If less than 7 days’ notice is given, a cancellation fee of £60 per course day will be deducted to cover incurred costs.

In the unlikely circumstances of any of our courses being interrupted as the result of a natural or unforeseen disaster, or illness of the tutor, it will be rescheduled. If you are unable to attend on the rescheduled date, you will be given a full credit for a future event. We reserve the right to change tutors if necessary.
