Programme Postponement or Cancellation by Leading Edge Trainings Ltd.

Leading Edge Trainings Ltd reserves the right to postpone or cancel any of their Programmes. This may happen without notice and for any reason.

While reasonable effort will be made to complete any Programme, it is unlikely but not impossible that events such as, but not limited to, death, pandemics, war, natural disaster or illness may cause a Programme to be postponed or cancelled

If the Programme or part of the Programme cannot happen on the scheduled dates, it may be postponed to the next available dates. You agree to the need to be flexible and attend on the rescheduled dates. If You cannot, You can request to defer to a subsequent training, contingent on the Deferment clause above.

If a Programme is cancelled by Leading Edge Trainings Ltd it may be possible for You to transfer to another Programme.

If the Programme is cancelled by Leading Edge Trainings Ltd and it is not possible for You to transfer to another Programme, You will receive a refund proportional to how much of the Programme You have completed (have met the Programme requirements for).

As an example, for the purposes of calculating refunds, if Leading Edge Trainings Ltd cancelled a Certificate in Sexological Bodywork training:

  • before you have accessed the teaching materials, your course fees will be refunded in full, including any deposit

  • after having accessed the course materials and before completion of Module 1, 80% of your tuition fees will be refunded

  • after having met the course requirements for completing Module 1, 70% of your tuition fees will be refunded

  • after having met the course requirements for completing Modules 1 & 2, 60% of your fee will be refunded

Illness

When there is an in-person component to a Programme, You commit to not knowingly attending the in-person component with an infectious illness. If You cannot attend due to an infectious illness, You agree to attend as soon as is medically possible, and to work with the facilitators to catch up on what You have missed.

If You cannot attend, You will need to defer to the next training. You will provide a medical certificate to Leading Edge Trainings Ltd in support of this. The fee for deferring is at the discretion of Leading Edge Trainings Ltd.

Refund or deferment of any fees other than Leading Edge Trainings Ltd course fees - such as travel, accommodation or venue fees - is not the responsibility of Leading Edge Trainings Ltd.
