Section1: Booking

Places on courses can only be guaranteed if the payment/deposit has been received. All bookings and course payments are NON REFUNDABLE and NON EXCHANGEABLE.

All practical courses must be booked in advance and deposit paid at the time of booking in full. All funds paid are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. Once you pay the deposit then your tutor will give you payment details so that you can pay the outstanding amount at least 2 weeks prior to the course date. Please note that ALL DEPOSITS ARE NON REFUNDABLE AND NON EXCHANGEABLE.

On days when there is only one booking students will be contacted and will therefore be responsible for their own clients/ models to work on and demonstrate the practical skills during the course.

Inspire therapy training reserves the right to decline applicants for valid reasons.

Prices can be altered at any time to reflect costs of training however Inspire will always remain competitively priced. Old prices will only be honoured at the discretion of Head Office. Discounts are only honoured at the time of the promotion, past discounts found online will not be accepted. Please contact your tutor to ask about any current offers, ALL discounts applicable will be on the homepage. We are not responsible for old pages being found online.

The prices shown on the website at the time of booking are the prices you will be charged. We cannot be responsible for the incorrect prices put out on the internet by tutors past or present, therefore the prices on the Inspire website alone are the prices we will honour. Prices can be altered at anytime.

We are not responsible for any emails that you do not read on time which relate to your course, changes or cancellations. If you are undergoing a distance learning diploma you should receive an acknowledgement email when you send in work, then wait no longer than 7 to 10 working days to receive your feedback and further units. If you do not hear from your Inspire rep them please email tutors@Inspiretherapytraining.com and we can re send any emails you didn’t receive. We will not be held responsible for students not receiving work and not contacting us about this issue. Once a year Inspire Head Office will close for Annual leave to update the website, manuals, and for training. This will not impact on your home study training and work will be assessed and returned with feedback within the allocated time above.

According to the distance selling regulations 2000 you have the right to a 14 day cooling off period where during the first 7 days after booking a course you have an unconditional right to cancel. This is to be notified to us in writing.

If you have requested in-house training then you will negotiate travel expenses with your chosen tutor. It is a contract between the tutor and student and is not connected to Inspire Therapy Training.

Tutors can and do move address, but your tutor will notify you of any changes to your training or venue. If for any reason the tutors new address is too far for you to travel you will be offered alternative training at the nearest tutor to you.

You are booking a course with a freelance tutor who is neither paid by nor employed by Inspire Therapy Training. We are acting as booking agents for that tutor. We ensure our tutors are suitably qualified and carry the appropriate insurance to practise as therapists and tutors. We do spot visits of the tutors and receive feedback after training. We are not responsible for any actions during the training day that result in a claim against the tutor either in their actions, negligence or use of products. It is a legal requirement that all students and models are patch tested up to 48hours prior to attending any course in lash and brow tinting, lash extensions, lash perming. Failure to do so could result in serious harm or injury. In any event where a claim is raised it will be against the tutor who will release to you their insurance policy details in the first instance.

Under no circumstances do we allow children to attend our training venues.

All our venues have a no smoking policy on site and within the grounds.

Home Study Bookings

Home study diplomas are to be conducted in your own time and each course has a maximum length of study.

Anatomy & Physiology – 12 months

Crystal and Colour Therapy – 12 months

Aromatherapy full course, and reflexology full course – 24 months

Aromatherapy and reflexology both without A&P – 12 months.

The start date is taken from the initial payment date. Any students wishing to terminate their training will do so at their choice, no refund will be given and re starting a course will result in the fee being paid again.

All home study diplomas are subject to a non refundable and non exchangeable policy. It is not the responsibility of your tutor to contact you with regards to your home study work, we will not remind you of the time allocation left and once this time is up your contract with Inspire will be terminated. In the event of your course ending prior to unit completion then a £20 charge per outstanding unit can be made to extend your study time. All units outstanding to be paid for upfront and a time limit of two units per month allocated. This decision to extend your studies must be made within two weeks of your course time ending.

When you book on a distance learning diploma with a practical element you would naturally go to your nearest centre. Please be aware that our tutors are freelance and may not be working with Inspire at the time you need to do your practical element, you will then need to travel to again your nearest location which maybe a little further.

All courses are non refundable and non exchangeable. If you book on multiple home study courses the date for completion will be at the same time. For example if you book colour and crystal therapy you will have 12 months to complete. If you book colour therapy and aromatherapy with A&P, you have 12 months to complete the colour therapy and 24 months in total to do the aromatherapy.

If you plan to do voluntary work with our diplomas please check with your organisation that it is what they need for their insurance purposes. We cannot be held responsible for anyone who doesnt research their training needs thoroughly enough.

** Plagiarism ** Inspire Therapy Training will not pass nor certify work which is not the students own. Procedures are in place and we will not accept work copied off the internet. Any student that does this will not receive the next units until work is sent in their own words. We have the right to withhold certification and use verbal questions via telephone should we suspect this to be the case.

Please note: You will be sent unit one and unit two first of all. Please send in your completed unit 1 as soon as it is complete. You then have unit two to be working on. When we send you unit 1 feedback we will attach unit 3. This will continue as long as the time allowed permits. We will stop sending work once the allocated time is up. You are purchasing a tutor led diploma with guidance and support via email. You are not purchasing individual units in your chosen subject, nor will you receive the outstanding units once your time is lapsed. If you require additional time to complete this diploma then this can be negotiated in line with the terms and conditions.

Examples of such circumstances include medical reasons but we insist that a doctor’s letter is presented to us before we reserve a future training date.
