Terms and conditions for attending our courses
Please read the below before booking on any of our courses.
For all courses, we expect our attendees to fully engage with the course in order to get the most out of the time. Where courses are run virtually, we require all attendees to use their camera and microphone. We will only send certification out to attendees after the trainer has confirmed with us that they have fully engaged with the content and met the learning outcomes.
If an attendee is unable to make the session, they must inform us as soon as they possibly can. If you have an Eventbrite account, you will be able to cancel your own places. Alternatively, contact surreyskillsacademy@surreycc.gov.uk to arrange for places to be cancelled for you. This allows us to free up a space for someone else to book. Failure to inform us of non-attendance will result in your organisation being charged £35. These will be organised in bulk per quarter.
Although we offer these courses to you free of charge, we are still required to pay our training providers and venues out of Surrey County Council's adult social care budget. We also put a lot of time into planning, arranging and administrating this service. Please work with us to make sure that we can demonstrate the benefits and the effectiveness. We are always looking to improve the Surrey Skills Academy offer, so please do get in touch with any suggestions you might have on surreyskillsacademy@surreycc.gov.uk
