Please read the terms and conditions below when booked onto a course.
Terms and Conditions for booking a course:
Unfortunately due to an increasing number of candidates cancelling at late notice, it is with regret that we have had to make changes to our booking policy. Therefore the Birmingham County FA has introduced a strict cancellation and transfer policy. Should a candidate or candidates need to cancel their place on a course for any reason, the following criteria will apply:
Should a candidate or candidates wish to cancel their attendance on the course, candidates must inform Birmingham County FA immediately. All our courses are in demand and by not advising us you are preventing another candidate from attending.
Cancellation:
Should a candidate need to cancel their place on a course for any reason, the following criteria will apply:
- 14 days or more notice – Full refund less a £10 administration charge.
- Less than 14 days’ notice – No refund will be given.
To book onto a future course, the candidate will need to enrol again with full payment.
Transfer:
The Birmingham County FA do not have a transfer policy. If a candidate is booked onto a course, their place is confirmed for that course alone. If they would like to cancel their place, they will need to do this following the “cancellation” policy. To book onto a future course, the candidate will need to enrol again with full payment.
Missed Sessions:
If a candidate cannot make a date on the course they are enrolled on, a decision will be made on whether they are allowed to complete the course on a case by case basis. If the reason is deemed appropriate, a fee of £20 per session missed will need to be paid to complete the course (subject to availability). This will be at the discretion of the County FA.
*Note: If the sessions missed are either the Safeguarding Children Workshop or Emergency First Aid, a fee of £30 per course will need to be paid to attend these aspects.
Birmingham County FA does not accept any responsibility for the loss, or damage to, candidate property or for personal injury, however caused.
You will respect the course tutor, course venue and other candidates and their points of view and you will understand that if your behaviour, language or conduct is deemed ‘unacceptable’ ‘offensive’ or ‘harmful’ for any reason, Birmingham County FA reserves the right to exclude you from continuing on your chosen course and if necessary, future courses.
