Training terms and conditions:

Confidentiality

Workshops often contain clinical material. This is always anonymised as far as possible but workshop attendees are none the less reminded to respect confidentiality.

Making reservations

Bookings for places on a workshop can only be considered confirmed after we have received your application form and payment (or invoicing details, including an official purchase order and the relevant trust identification/provider code, where applicable). Please note that registration for all workshops closes 7 days prior to the workshop.

Cancellation & changes policy

If you cancel a workshop booking more than 14 days prior to your booked event, we will refund your fee minus a charge of 15% to cover our administration costs. We regret that cancellations 14 days or less before the booked event cannot be refunded.

If you wish to change your booking after confirmation we will do our best to accommodate you if you notify us 14 days prior to your booked event, and if there is space to do so. However there will be an administration charge of £15 per change.

For commissioned workshops (i.e., away from OCTC premises)

If you cancel all or part of the commission more than 8 weeks from the scheduled start of the training, the relevant fees will be cancelled (or refunded if already paid); if you cancel between 8 and 4 weeks from the scheduled teaching date, 50% of the agreed fees must be paid; cancellation less than 4 weeks from the scheduled start date will mean payment of the full teaching agreed fee.

If an OCTC presenter has to cancel, we will attempt to find an alternative presenter or date that is acceptable to you. If we cannot find acceptable alternatives, then the relevant part of the agreed fees will be cancelled or refunded.

For clinical services (CBT assessment and treatment sessions) if the scheduled session is cancelled more than 24 hours before its scheduled start then the fee is waived; if the session is cancelled at less than 24 hours before its scheduled start then 50% of the fee must be paid. The full fee will be charged for any sessions that are not attended without any notice of cancellation being given.

For supervision services if the scheduled session is cancelled more than 24 hours before its scheduled start then the fee is waived; if the session is cancelled at less than 24 hours before its scheduled start then 50% of the fee must be paid. The full fee will be charged for any sessions that are not attended without any notice of cancellation being given.
