Before booking onto a course, please ensure you have requested and have read the course content, to ensure the course will meet your training needs and that you are able to meet any pre-requisites, where stated.

If you have any physical disabilities, medical problems or if you are pregnant it is advisable that you refrain from booking onto any course that incorporates a practical element that may affect your ability to safely participate. If in doubt, please contact us for advice and guidance prior to booking.

If a course registration/booking is completed by an individual other than the named candidate, it is the responsibility of the person in receipt of the booking confirmation to ensure the candidate is suitable for the course and has the relevant experience.

Important note: Your booking brings into existence a legally binding contract between yourself and / or a company which you represent, and National Auditing and Training Ltd, on these terms and conditions. Bookings are formalised on receipt of a booking confirmation (By email) including these terms and conditions. An individual or organisation in receipt of these has 24 hours to reject or withdraw from the agreement which must be done so by emailing info@natltd.co.uk. Any term sought to be imposed by you in any purchase order or correspondence will not form part of the contract.
