Please read these terms and conditions carefully before booking any courses.

You should understand that by booking any courses, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. You should print a copy of these terms and conditions for future reference.

Booking Courses or events will only be processed and accepted on receipt of a completed and signed SRSCC registration form. In response each delegate will receive a formal booking confirmation and acceptance on the course. Until the booking confirmation is received the delegate has not made a reservation.
Description and pricing of Courses. Although we make every effort to ensure the prices listed are correct, mistakes may sometimes be made. If a mistake is discovered in the price of the course that you have booked prior to confirmation of your booking, we will tell you and give you the option of either reconfirming your booking at the correct price or cancelling your booking. In this instance, if we are unable to contact you or we receive no reply from you your booking will be cancelled. SRSCC reserves the right to change prices listed without notice. SRSCC also reserves the right to refuse to supply to any individual or company.

2.1 E-portfolio charges are applicable beyond 15 months on programme for full course level or 3 months per module (typical duration for full course level is 12months from course commencement date).

Assessment Entry. It is the responsibility of the delegate to ensure that they are entered for the appropriate assessment by the CIPS exam entry deadline. If you require SRSCC to enter you for the assessments, you must notify us in writing by completing the appropriate form – additional fees may apply.

CIPS Membership. It is the delegates responsibility to ensure they have a valid CIPS student membership. This is required in order to enter for assessments and work towards the qualification. Delegates must ensure that the contact details held by CIPS are up to date.

Cancellation and administration fees

5.1 Cancellations. SRSCC reserves the right to amend or cancel any course, course times, dates or published prices. Changes to course prices, times and dates will be advised before the course start date and any course already paid in full will not be subject to the increased price. As a course may be cancelled up to four weeks prior to its start date, we recommend that delegates do not make travel or accommodation arrangements before this time. Any travel or accommodation costs incurred are entirely the delegate’s responsibility. SRSCC does not accept any liability for reimbursement of any costs incurred whatsoever in relation to its training courses or events. Where a course has been cancelled, delegates will be offered an alternative means of study or date for the same course, a credit towards another course or a refund.

We appreciate the ever-increasing pressures of work and family life and therefore aim to be as flexible as possible. Cancellations must be made in writing and are subject to the following conditions:

Cancellation charges apply to modules whereby notice is given as follows:

More than two weeks prior to workshop – no charge
Less than two weeks prior to workshop – 30% of the module fee

Less than 1 week notice – 100% of the module fee

Any study guides that have been ordered and exam entries processed are non-refundable. Refunds will not be given if a delegate has started a module and/or received module material/accessed course material.

CIPS may close centers due to circumstances beyond our control. While we strive to minimize disruptions, SRSCC is not liable for inconveniences or costs resulting from such closures. We will communicate alternative arrangements where possible.

If you take a study break during your course with us, we will reach out to check in with you during this period. If we do not receive any response to our communications within 18 months from the start date of your study break, your account will be withdrawn. Please note that refunds will not be provided.
