For group bookings, we issue invoices with a 30 day payment policy. For bookings made within the 30 day period, the invoice will need to be paid in full prior to the commencement of the training. If you require a purchase order to be quoted on your invoice, this must be supplied at the time of booking. Please note we do not accept card payments via American Express.

If you have to cancel a training less than two weeks before the training, we can not swap delegates or provide a refund, only transfer to a future training within that calendar year. Once you have started a training you cannot request a refund.
9) Training cancellation/postponement
If for any reason a public or corporate training is cancelled after the confirmation date e.g. because of public transport strikes or trainer illness, then we we will always to try to reschedule the training to a later date, or hold it on Microsoft Teams on the same day, or offer a full refund.
10) Travel arrangements
We recommend booking flexible travel and accommodation arrangements as we cannot be liable for any costs incurred due to cancellations or rescheduling.

We are not authorized to provide visas but we can write a letter of invitation from CIBSE, as long as full payment of the training fee has been received. CIBSE is not able to act on behalf of the participant and is not responsible for any costs incurred by failure to obtain a visa.
12) Sustainability
All our correspondence is paperless. We ask all delegates to bring laptops to the training as we no longer print training materials.
13) Corporate training
a) The client is responsible for ensuring that their delegates are on the right training for them
b) The client is responsible for the venue and the catering of the corporate training
c) If there any additional delegates who attend on the day of the training, then an additional invoice will be issued

All on demand training is valid from the year it was purchased and one full calendar year after. If you have purchased on demand training but not yet started it, you can transfer it to another person within the above time period.
15) On Demand course and module assignment policy for bundle purchases
For bundle purchases of courses and modules, the client is required to assign each module or course to a delegate within the same calendar year of the purchase date. The assigned delegate will then have one full year to complete the course. If a course or module is not assigned to a delegate by the end of the calendar year, the client will forfeit the unassigned course or module, and no refunds or credits will be issued.
