Course Timings & Attendance: Delegates must adhere to timings as stipulated on the course joining instructions.

Companies or Organisations Booking Onsite Training – Training Space Requirements:

Space will also need to be available for learners to complete their written questionnaires. Please note: Trainers have the right to refuse to carry out training where the training space is either too small or not suitable. No refunds will be available where a trainer has to refuse to carry out the training as above.
Force Majeure: IPS Safety Training cannot be held responsible for any incident or occurrence outside its control that affects the provision of any given course date, course forecast, course content or course timing, and/or including cancellation, amendment or re-scheduling. Where a course content or course timing has to be amended/ cancelled/ re-scheduled for whatever reason, IPS Safety Training will make every reasonable effort to make alternative arrangements.
Failure to Show: Any delegate failing to attend without notice will still reflect a bona-fide booking and the full fee will remain payable for the course not attended. A further course fee will be payable if a re-booking is made.
