Special Requirements

The ESAB will make every effort to accommodate special requirements that have been notified in advance on the booking form. 

Course transfers 

There is no charge for transferring your booking to the same course on an alternative date provided you notify the ESAB in writing up to 15 working days before the start and if there is availability.

Cancelling your place and substitutions

If you notify the ESAB in writing (email) up to 15 days before the start date of a course, you will not be charged the course fee.  If you cancel for whatever reason within the 15 day period, the full fee will remain payable and no refunds will be given.

If you are unable to attend a booked course you may nominate a substitute attendee. Substitutions will be received by the ESAB where provided at least 24 hours prior to the course start date. 

Non-attendance 

If you fail to attend the course on which you are booked  then the course fee will remain and no refunds will be given.

Cancellation by the ESAB 

Where circumstances dictate, the ESAB reserves the right to alter published programmes, trainers, fees or venues without prior notice. In the event of a course being cancelled, a refund of the course fee will be made but no compensation will be paid for any additional costs incurred. 

Liability 

The ESAB does not accept responsibility for anyone acting as a result of information or views expressed on its training courses including course material. Opinions expressed are those of individual trainers and not necessarily those of the ESAB.

Charges for late notice cancellation (less than 15 working days) or non-attendance are set at £85 per full day course and £45 per half day course per delegate.  If a delegate is unable to attend another member of staff from the same team/service can be substituted without any additional cost.
