Policy if it is found that this course is too intensive for the student
Intensive training is not for everyone we are catering for highly motivated individuals who are confident that they can assimilate new skills and information quickly and study independently . If the course director feels that the student is unlikely to achieve the required standards within the time frame – we reserve the right to invite the student to return for additional training on subsequent courses either free or at a reduced rate at our discretion (depending on reasons why the student is failing). If that were not enough then we would refund the course fee for the days remaining.
