Terms and Conditions for our Academy Programmes

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR APPLICATION

Our terms and conditions for our courses are set out below. Applicants are required to confirm that they have understood and accepted these terms and conditions, as part of the contract made between TPC Health Ltd and the participant upon registration. Before accepting the terms and conditions, all applicants are strongly encouraged to read the relevant Programme Specification.

1. Applications

Applications for admission can be accepted for consideration only if submitted on our online application form.

2. Programme Credits (APEL)

Any APEL forms must be submitted before the date of registration to the programme, with supporting documents as appropriate. All APEL applications are subject to agreement from TPC Health Ltd.

3. Confirmation of Attendance and Payment of Fees

3.1 The deposit is payable immediately when booking on to a programme.

3.2 The balance of the fees is payable at least 7 weeks before the first workshop, and may be paid by bank transfer or cheque.

3.3 Where you book onto a programme within 7 weeks of the first workshop, the full payment will be due immediately on receipt of the invoice.

3.4 Instalment Payment Plan: In certain circumstances paying by instalments may be possible. Please contact us to discuss your application if you wish to do this. Each instalment will cover the number of days in a module e.g. for a 3 day module in a 10 day programme, we will charge 3/10 of the total price for the module. Each module must be fully paid in advance before attendance.

3.5 You may not attend a programme without payment of fees. Late payment of fees attracts an administrative surcharge of £150 + VAT.

3.6 Programme fees are as per our website and are subject to change.

4. Cancellation and Rescheduling of Programmes

4.1 Our programmes are designed so that participants can learn from one another as well as benefit from Faculty input, and therefore each programme will have a minimum cohort number to achieve this. When it is anticipated that we will not achieve these minimum numbers, programmes will be rescheduled or, if necessary, cancelled. In such cases, we will advise you as soon as practicable and offer alternative programme dates where possible.

4.2 Where a course is cancelled and not rescheduled by TPC Health Ltd., a full refund will be given to you.

4.3 If you voluntarily withdraw from the programme before completion and you are permitted to restart the programme at a later date, you will be asked to submit an updated curriculum vitae, application form and pay any fee increases as appropriate.

4.4  You may transfer to an alternative programme without an administration charge, unless it is less than 6 weeks to the original programme start date, in which case a transfer fee will be charged to cover any costs that have been incurred for the original programme. Any additional fees for the alternative programme will be invoiced and must be paid in full before the start date of the new programme.

4.5 Please refer to our Refund Policy (Section 6) for cancellation initiated by yourself.

5 Non-attendance of workshops

5.1 For unavoidable reasons of cancellation, such as illness, we will try to put you on the same workshop with the next cohort, subject to availability, or there may be an option to catch up one to one with your tutor. Should you find yourself in these circumstances, please contact us as soon as possible so arrangements can be made. There will be an additional administration fee payable of £150+VAT to cover our costs and, if you choose to have a one to one catch up, there will be a fee payable of £750+VAT per day for this.

5.2 If you do not attend the scheduled group supervision calls or post programme (where applicable) and do not provide TPC Health Ltd. with any notice of this, a fee of £50+VAT will be charged, per missed event.

6. Refund Policy

6.1 Where you have paid a deposit only, or have paid the full balance in lieu of a deposit, you have a right to cancel your registration onto one of our programmes, and receive a full refund, within seven days of making your payment. We reserve the right to withhold some or all of the monies paid to us to cover reasonable expenses in the event of your cancellation. This does not affect your statutory rights.

6.2 After the initial seven days, you may cancel your registration up to 42 days before the first day of the programme, and obtain a full refund of fees paid, less an administration fee of £50 + VAT.

6.3 From 1 - 41 days before the first day of the programme, fees will be charged according to expenses incurred. Your refund will be reduced to take account of charges for the cost of the first workshop and administration fees. Please contact us on +44 (0)208 191 0160 for full details and to discuss cancellation in the first instance.

6.4 If you wish to withdraw from the programme on, or after, the first day of the programme, no refund is applicable.

6.5 Where a programme is paid for in instalments, no refund will be paid for any completed modules.

6.6 If you wish to defer your attendance, or transfer to another programme, please contact us on +44 (0)208 191 0160 to discuss options. We will try to accommodate your request where possible.
