10. Late arrivals/missed sessions

To fulfil the course requirements, attendance at full courses is compulsory. If you arrive late for a course or are absent from any session, we reserve the right to refuse to accept you for training if we feel you will gain insufficient knowledge or skill in the time remaining. In all such cases, the full course fee remains payable.

Goods will normally be dispatched within five working days of receipt of your order. Please allow up to a further three days for delivery. At peak times of the year, such as Display season, delivery may take a little longer. For Training Courses/Events participants will receive confirmation and or joining instructions and we will aim to issue these 7 days prior to the event taking place.
