FACE TO FACE WORKSHOPS

Payment Terms

A tax invoice will be emailed on receipt of booking confirmation. Payment is due in full two weeks prior to course date. Payment can be made by electronic transfer, cheque or credit card.

Cancellation Policy

If you are unable to attend a course for which you have registered, please contact Plum Solutions as soon as possible by calling  +61 (0)2 9818 7250  or emailing info at plumsolutions.com.au

To obtain a full refund on a course, delegates must notify Plum Solutions in writing at least ten business days (two weeks) prior to the workshop or event start date that they wish to transfer to an alternate date, or cancel. Delegates who transfer or cancel from a workshop or event inside two weeks from the start date shall forfeit the full program fee.  No refunds will be given in this instance, but if the online version of this course is available, this can be undertaken instead.  Substitutions can be made at any time (see below).

Substitutions

Substitutions can be made, with prior notification in writing to Plum Solutions, at any time up to the workshop or event start date, with no penalty.  Please contact us as soon as possible with the name of your substitute attendee so that we can arrange a certificate in their name.

Non Attendance

If a delegate fails to attend a course, even in the case of illness, program fees will not be refunded or allocated to another course.

Cancellation or transfer notifications should be made in writing to info at plumsolutions.com.au

Please Note:  It is the responsibility of the registered person to ensure transfer or cancellation notifications are received by Plum Solutions with at least two weeks’ notice.

General

Please note that Plum Solutions may change or cancel any class (but will offer you a full refund if the date or content of the course is not the same as the one that you booked on). If a course has been cancelled, you will be notified ten days prior to the scheduled course date or earlier.  We will not be held liable for any costs incurred by the attendee if a course is cancelled or postponed. If travelling interstate to attend a course, we recommend you book a flexible flight in the unlikely event of course cancellation or date change. Plum Solutions reserves the right to modify course content or substitute presenters at its discretion.

Plum Solutions’ course material is protected by copyright. The material must not be copied or utilised in any way other than for personal education purposes of the original delegate.

Contact

By registering for a workshop, you are consenting for Plum Solutions to send you information pertaining to your course, such as pre-course survey, venue and post-course support information.  Following the course we may send you other information very occasionally about other courses we think you might be interested in.  You can unsubscribe from this at any time.

Please see our Privacy Policy for more details on how we collect and treat your personal information.

Continuing Education

A certificate of attendance will be awarded on completion of the course. Courses are not offered as vocational training and will not qualify you for any specific employment. Course credits are not transferable to any accredited educational institution.

If you are a member of a professional association, you may be eligible for Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points.  Please enquire with your association as to whether a particular course satisfies any of your continuing educational requirements.

ONLINE COURSES

The course fee must be paid prior to receiving course materials. Once materials have been accessed and downloaded, your course fee cannot be refunded, however, if you are not fully satisfied with the course content, please contact us within 24 hours of purchase for a full refund.

If you do not wish to pay by credit card, an invoice can be emailed to you and payment can be made alternatively by direct bank transfer or cheque.

We reserve the right to cancel or terminate a course or to refuse any enrolment as permitted by law.

The course materials are designed for individual student use. They are the intellectual property of Plum Solutions and they cannot be copied, distributed or reproduced in any way except with the written permission of Plum Solutions.
