BOOKING COURSES

General cancellation policy

Requests to cancel your place on an ISC Medical course must be made by telephone in the first instance on 0845 226 9487 and confirmed by email at enquiries@iscmedical.co.uk. The effective time of cancellation will be taken as the date and time on which we receive your written confirmation.

Where our cancellation policy refers to ‘days’, these are defined as full ‘working days’ which means all days other than Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, with partial days not counting

General cancellation fees

Cancellation 21 days or more before the course

A refund will be granted, subject to the deduction of an administration fee of £20 per course day (i.e. a 2-day course will incur a cancellation fee of £40 in total).

Cancellation 11 days to 20 days before the course

A refund will be granted subject to the deduction of an administration fee of £80 per course day.

Cancellation 5 days to 10 days or less before the course

A refund will only be granted if we are able to resell your place to someone else. Such refund will be subject to the deduction of an administration fee of £80 per course day.

Late cancellations (4 days or less before the course)

We regret that no cancellation can be accepted 4 days or less before a course or on the day of the course itself.

Postponing your course

If you are unable to attend the course that you originally booked for whatever reason, you may wish to postpone your booking to a future course. Requests to postpone your place on an ISC Medical course must be made by telephone in the first instance on 0845 226 9487 and confirmed by email at enquiries@iscmedical.co.uk.

Where our postponement policy refers to ‘days’, these are defined as ‘working days’ which means all days other than Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, with partial days not counting.

Postponing 11 days or more before the course

If you are postponing for the first time:

If you are asking for a postponement 11 days or more before the day of the course and it is the first time you have requested a postponement, then you can transfer your booking onto another course for free. The postponement takes effect as soon as we notify you by email that we have transferred your booking.

If you are postponing for the second time or more:

If you are asking for a postponement 11 days or more before the day of the course and you have already postponed a course, then you can transfer your booking onto another course subject to a payment of an administration fee of £80, which must be paid by 23:59 on the day payment of that fee has been requested. The postponement will only take effect when your payment has been received. Failure to pay the fee by that time will result in the request for transfer being cancelled and you will remain booked on the original course. Should you wish to transfer the course again, you will need to make a further request.

Postponing between 5 and 10 days before the course

If you are asking for a postponement between 5 and 10 days before the course, then you can transfer your booking onto another course subject to a payment of an administration fee of £80, which must be paid by 23:59 on the day payment of that fee has been requested. The postponement will take effect only when your payment has been received. Failure to pay the fee by that time will result in the request for transfer being cancelled and you will remain booked on the original course. Should you wish to transfer the course again, you will need to make a further request.

Postponing 4 days or less before the course date

We regret that no request for postponement can be accepted 4 days or less before a course or on the day of the course itself.

Please note that we can only accept requests for transfers on to courses which are being advertised at the time of request. In particular, we cannot accept requests to hold money on behalf of a client until a suitable course becomes available. If you wish to postpone a booking onto an unadvertised course in the future, it will be necessary for you to cancel your booking and book again in the future, when a suitable course date is advertised and this will be subject to our general cancellation terms and conditions above.

When a course booking has been postponed once, it can no longer be cancelled. However it may be postponed further, subject to the terms and conditions set out above. The entitlement for further postponement and any fee payable will be based and calculated using the new date as a reference point.
