TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Once in receipt of this completed booking form, NEA shall contact the learner to confirm the place or offer an alternative if the session is already fully booked.

Bookings are for the named person only, if you wish to change the attendee name please inform NEA in advance of the webinar date so that we can update our records on who will be attending (places are limited so anyone not officially booked may be turned away on the day).

CANCELLATIONS: I understand that the above reservation is made on the condition that a fee of:

- 50% of the full course fee will be charged for any cancellation received within four weeks of the course start date.
- 75% of the full course fee will be charged for any cancellation received within two weeks of the course start date.
- 100% of the full course fee will be charged for any cancellation received within 5 working days of the course start date or for failure to attend without prior notice.
- Funded places - cancellation charges do not apply but if you are unable to attend please inform NEA as soon as possible so that your place can be reallocated. Please note that while the place is free of charge to the learner there is a cost implication to NEA to deliver the webinar and failure to inform us that you are unable to attend prevents us from being able to re-allocate the place and can have knock on implications to future funding. Regular cancellations or non-attendance may result in future bookings being blocked.
