Non-attendance and Cancellation

Unfortunately, we continue to experience a significant problem with the number of people cancelling with very little notice, or simply not attending the course without letting us know in advance. This results in wasted training places. As demand for KSCB courses are high and some requests may be unsuccessful, early cancellation is necessary in order for places to be offered to other participants.

A minimum of 5 working days prior to the course date is essential to avoid charges.

Failure to attend a course or late cancellation will result in the following charges:-

Any training course up to 3 hours duration £50

Any single full day training course £100

Any 2 day training course £200

Failure to complete E-Learning within 28 days £25

Managers will be informed that the member of staff has not attended and invoices will be cascaded to managers for payment.
