A licence for a named course can be assigned to one named real person, referred to as the "User". (i.e. one licence for a named course assigned to a named user = 1 named user's access to the course and, once a valid completion has been recorded, a certificate and completion record). Licences are not transferable. New licences are valid for one year from date of first access and the named user can view this course as many times as necessary throughout the year. Upon license expiry, licences may be renewed for a subsequent one year. Licence renewal is optional.

Course access and any other services will be actioned upon receipt of payment. Prices displayed in the price list exclude local taxes (e.g. VAT). The customer can request a refund or another course of equal value as replacement within fourteen days of purchase, however once the service has been actioned, a certificate has been produced, no refunds or cancellations can be actioned under normal circumstances. Normal circumstances are at the discretion of the “Developers”.

One of the key elements to be considered during the selection of a health & safety training provider, must be an Assessment of Competence. Health & Safety training must be suitable for the tasks and be provided from a competent source. See our competence statement article for further information about competence and qualification.
