All courses provided by OLCI Construction Training Limited (the “Company”) are subject to the following terms and conditions:
| 1. | The Company provides distance learning courses (“Theory Modules”), workshops and assessments (“Workshops and Assessments”) and training programmes consisting of distance learning, workshops and assessments (“Training Programmes”), all of which are referred to herein as “courses”. |
| 2. | The Company reserves the right to decline to accept any application for enrolment on any course. On certain courses, you may be required to undertake a telephone interview before enrolment. If your enrolment is accepted, but it transpires that the course is not appropriate for you, the Company shall be entitled to cancel your enrolment at any time. |
| 3. | Whilst the Company will take all reasonable steps to make courses as inclusive as possible, participation in any course requires that you are able to understand spoken English and write and read in English to GCSE level or equivalent. Workshops and assessments require a reasonable level of physical fitness and agility. If you have any doubt about your fitness to participate, you should discuss this with the Company before enrolment. |

| 5. | For all courses, payment arrangements must be agreed before enrolment and may consist of payment in full before the course commencement, payment by instalments or loan finance. Where payment is by instalments, the Company may assign the right to receive unpaid instalments. Where loan finance is required, enrolment will be delayed until the loan finance has been agreed. |
| 6. | After enrolment, if you default in making any payment when due, the Company shall have the right to exclude you from the course until the arrears are paid. If your default shall continue for more than 30 days, the full balance of the course fees shall become due and payable unless otherwise agreed by the Company in writing. The Company shall be entitled to make an additional charge for any additional costs incurred by the Company as the result of your default. |
| 7. | You will be entitled to cancel your enrolment in the cases referred to in clauses 15 and 16 where statutory cancellation rights apply. |

| 10. | If you fail to attend part of any course without the Company’s written agreement and have to re-book, a further fee will be payable. |
| 11. | If the whole or part of the course fees are paid by means of a loan from the Company, or by a third party lender on terms that the Company will reimburse such fees to the lender if you default in your payments to the lender, and if you default in your repayments, the Company shall have the right to cancel or suspend your enrolment, without prejudice to your liability to the Company in respect of such fees. |
| 12. | All courses must be completed within two years from the date of enrolment, unless otherwise agreed. |
| 13. | Where registration and/or certification fees are payable to City & Guilds or other accrediting body, the Company shall have the right to pass on any increase in such fees notified to the Company after the date of your enrolment. |
| 14. | Overseas students shall be responsible for paying any import or export duties or taxes which may be imposed. |
| 15. | In the case of distance contracts (that is contracts made without any face to face contact), in accordance with The Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, you have a cooling off period in which you may cancel your enrolment by giving notice to the Company in writing or by email. This right expires 7 working days from the date of enrolment or upon your course commencing (if sooner).

In the event of cancellation, all course materials must be returned to the Company in good condition at your own expense. |

This right expires 7 days from your receipt of notification of your right to cancel. Your cancellation notice will also cancel any related credit agreement. In the event of cancellation, all course materials must be restored to the Company in good condition. |
| 17. | The Company warrants that all course materials will be prepared and all courses will be provided with reasonable care and skill. Subject thereto, the Company shall have no liability to any person for any loss or damage or expense, however occurring or incurred, whether direct or indirect, resulting from your participation in the course. The Company’s liability shall in any event be limited to the fees paid by you for participation in the course. The Company’s liability, except for death or personal injury resulting from its negligence, shall be limited to the fees paid by you for participating in the course. |
| 18. | Opinions expressed by the course tutor represent his/her own views and not necessarily those of the Company and the Company shall have no responsibility for them. |
| 19. | You agree to observe the Company’s rules notified to you in writing or by any other means. |
| 20. | We may cancel your enrolment without reimbursement of fees if you commit a serious or repeated breach of the enrolment terms or the Company’s rules or are guilty of offensive behaviour and, in case of any breach which is capable of remedy, fail to remedy it within 7 days of receipt of a default notice. |
| 21. | Copyright in the course materials is owned or licensed by the Company. Copying, adaptation or other use without the written permission of the Company is prohibited. |

If you have booked the course for another person, you confirm that they have authorised you to act for them, to consent to the processing of their personal data and to receive any fair collection notices on their behalf. |
| 23. | If you have booked the course for another person, these terms and conditions shall be binding on you and the student and references herein to “you” shall mean or include the student, where appropriate. It shall be your responsibility to ensure that these terms and conditions are brought to the notice of the student and you shall indemnify the Company against any loss, damage or liability resulting from your failure to do so. |
| 24. | The Company reserves the right to cancel or re-schedule any course or examination and to make other amendments to the published programme without compensation, other than reimbursement of fees in the event of a course cancellation. It shall also vary any course to take account of new regulations or the requirements of the accrediting bodies for which an additional charge may be made if such change occurs after the date of your enrolment. |
| 25. | Completion of the course does not guarantee your competence to perform work or your ability to gain employment in the relevant field and the Company makes no representation as to such competence or ability. In undertaking any work, you must take care to ensure that the work is within your competence and you must seek further instruction or supervision, if necessary. Any statement made to you by the Company regarding the likelihood of obtaining employment and/or your potential earnings shall be treated as a matter of opinion and shall be non-binding. |
| 26. | Assessments and examinations are governed by the accrediting body. The cost of any re-sits shall be borne by you. |
