CANCELLATION POLICY

For all Finance/Cancellation/Transfer related enquiries please contact Sylwia at info@emdracademy.co.uk

+ PAYMENTS

If all 3 Parts are booked together in the same venue on consecutive dates, you can either pay altogether or a 25% non-refundable deposit via Gocardless, this must be received with a completed application form to ensure a place, subject to terms and conditions.

On receiving your application we will email you an invoice. We ask that you pay your deposit within 7 days. Please ensure you provide a telephone number and correct email address. You can pay via our secure GoCardless system for deposit option or make a direct bank transfer for full payment only. Once this has been confirmed you will be booked on the course and sent joining instructions-if the deposit is not paid within this time we will not be able to hold your place.

Following deposit, your place is only guaranteed up until the date of your final balance (6 weeks before training) and eligibility to attend is confirmed. PLEASE ensure payment is on the due date as we will not always be able to send a reminder-the GoCardless will automatically take this from the account you sign it to, we cannot guarantee your place if the payment is received after the final payment date.

The deposit option only applies to self funding bookings of 3 Parts in same venue on consecutive dates advertised as one course. If individual parts are booked then full payment must be received on booking to confirm your place.

Full payment must be made when applications are submitted within 6 weeks of the first training day. This can be made via secure credit card (no charge) debit card transaction (no charge) or bank transfer (no charge), once your eligibility to attend is confirmed.

+ employer PAYMENTS

If the delegates employer is funding the course, and the payment is delayed by 3 months or more the delegate will be charged the course fees.

If the delegate books on the course and an invoice is raised and we have confirmed your place the cancellation fees still apply and your employer will still be charged even if you cancel your training out of the cancellation period.

Cheques are accepted but there is a £10 charge, please add this to your bill if paying by cheque.

+ method of cancelling

To be effective, cancellations must be in writing and sent to us by email or by recorded delivery. To cancel, please write to us (by recorded delivery) to

The EMDR Academy, 8 The Dale, Tiverton, Tarporley, Cheshire, CW6 9ND

or by email info@emdracademy.co.uk

If you are emailing us or writing to us please include details of your order to help us to identify it. If you send us your cancellation notice by email or by recorded delivery, then your cancellation is effective from the date you send us the email or if by recorded delivery, the date the letter is received by us.

With email, you will have given us notice in time as long as you get your email to us before midnight on that day. For the avoidance of doubt, if you are booked on an all 3 parts of the course, then this is calculated as one booking with one start date. Accordingly, please use the date of your first booked training day for Part 1 as the relevant date for calculation of cancelling your order, if required.

The cancellation periods enable us to remain cost effective and allows us time to try and fill a cancelled booking. With regret therefore, no refunds will be made if the cancellation periods are not adhered to (even when your non- attendance is due to sickness or bereavement). If you are sick during the training or have to leave for any other reason you have to rebook on that training part, it is not possible to only attend the days missed.

+ IF YOU WANT TO TRANSFER TO ANOTHER TRAINING DATE/COURSE

Deferring or transferring to any other training within EMDR Academy is only possible on the basis of a space being available. This incurs an administrative charge in the following situations:

8 weeks or more notice - No admin fee*
4-8 weeks notice - £40 plus vat*
2-4 weeks - £75 plus vat*
2 weeks or less - No transfers allowed

If you had received the discount for booking all 3 parts consecutively in the same venue you will be asked to pay this back as you are no longer eligible for this discount. This discount is £122.50*

Therefore, making your total transfer fee £122.50 plus VAT = £147.00 as well as the admin charge for the relevant notice period

+ IF THE STRESS & TRAUMA CENTRE LTD HAD TO CANCEL A TRAINING

In the unlikely event of the course being cancelled or postponed for reasons outside of our control,

The Stress & Trauma Centre Ltd will not be liable for travel and/or accommodation costs incurred. However, the full registration fee will be refunded or alternative dates arranged or we will replace our EMDR trainer with another EMDR trainer from our team if possible.

+ SUBSTITUTING DELEGATES

At our complete discretion, we will consider a request by the same organisation to substitute a delegate if the original delegate is unable to attend. If we accept a substitution, there will be a mandatory additional administration charge of £50 +VAT payable in advance of the course start date. Please contact The Stress & Trauma Centre to discuss this at least 14 calendar days before the first training date.

General terms & health advice

+ HEALTH ADVICE

Please do get in touch with us if you are in the 1st or 3rd trimester of pregnancy. This is because you work on some of your own memories during the course which may increase your emotions and you may find upsetting or cause distress. We sometimes have delegates that are pregnant and attend the course. We advise those that do attend do so purely at their own risk because they will still have to work on their own material during the course as an essential part of the training. If they still attend we then advise them to work with easier / safer memories.

Please also inform the trainer prior to the training if you suffer with vertigo, inner ear problems, migraines or epilepsy.

We will not be held liable for any decisions made about your own health. It is up to you to contact a health professional if you are concerned about your health.
