5.                    Our rights to make changes
5.1                  We may change the training courses:

(b)             to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements
without the need to inform you.
5.2                  We will notify you of any significant changes to the training services and you may then contact us to end the contract before the changes take effect and receive a refund for any money paid for training not yet received.

6.                    Providing the training services
6.1                  During the order process we will confirm the date and time of the training course you will be attending.
6.2                  If the training course is cancelled or delayed by an event outside our control then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. Provided we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for your training course if this has not already taken place.
6.3                  We may need certain information from you so that we can supply the training services to you. If so, this will have been notified to you before you placed your order. We will contact you in writing to ask for any additional information that may be required. If you do not give us this information within a reasonable time of us asking for it, or if you give us incomplete or incorrect information, we may either end the contract or make an additional charge of a reasonable sum to compensate us for any extra work that is required as a result.
6.4                  Any written or verbal information provided during the training course (“training materials”) is intended as general advice and guidance only. The training materials should not be regarded as specific advice (whether as to technical matters, health & safety, tax, insurance or otherwise) and when following any of the demonstrations or working on any of your own jobs, you are reminded to take specific bespoke advice tailored to the particular circumstances and requirements.
6.5                  Completion of the training course does not guarantee your competence to perform work or your ability to gain employment. We do not guarantee employment and we make no representation to your suitability of employment.

8.                    Amending and ending the contract
