We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule any of our courses.

Where it is necessary to cancel or reschedule any courses, you will be informed at the first available opportunity and delegates will be rescheduled as a priority to the next available course(s). We do not accept any responsibility for certificates expiring as a result of a cancelled course.

Payment

Full payment is required 14 days prior to the course start date. We reserve the right to withhold certificates until full payment has been cleared. Individual consumers are required to make payment at the time of booking.

Company cancellations

If you are booking as a company, the full course fee will be charged for cancellations made fewer than 14 working days before the course start date. Cancellations can be received either by phone (0333 022 0999*) or email (hello@impulsefirstaid.com). This applies to both scheduled courses and group bookings.

Consumer cancellations

If you are booking as an individual, you have 14 calendar days in which to cancel your booking from the date it was made. If your course is due to start within this 14 calendar day period:

  • If we have fully supplied the first aid course, you will lose your right to cancel and not be entitled to any refund of the fees you paid.
  • If we have supplied only part of the course, you are still able to cancel the remaining part(s) of the course(s), but will be liable for the supply of all service(s) we have provided to you up until the time we receive notice of your intention to cancel. This will be calculated as an amount proportional to the services that have been supplied, taking into account the total cost of the course.

This applies to both scheduled courses and group bookings. Cancellations can be made by phone (0333 022 0999*), email (hello@impulsefirstaid.com) or using the Model Cancellation Form, below.

Scheduled courses

Transfers

You can transfer a delegate once without incurring a charge, provided that we receive this request at least 10 working days before the course start date. If you book a course less than 10 working days before the course start date, you will not be able to make a transfer. Transfer requests can be received either by phone (0333 022 0999*) or email (hello@impulsefirstaid.com).

Substitutions

Substitutions will be accepted provided that the request is received 10 working days before the course start date either by phone (0333 022 0999*) or email (hello@impulsefirstaid.com).

Group bookings

Transfers

No charges will be applied to any transfer request that we receive, provided that it is received at least 10 working days before the course start date. Any transfer requests received fewer than 10 working days before the course start date will incur an additional 50 per cent charge of the course fee.

Course prices

All our prices are currently not subject to VAT, however, we withhold the right to invoice with VAT, should we meet HMRC requirements to register and levy VAT charges. These charges will be made at the prevailing rate on the date of the invoice.

Course timing and joining instructions

Good time keeping throughout the course is essential. We will issue full joining instructions to the booker, for delegates attending the course, which includes information regarding the start time of the course. If the booker does not receive the joining instructions, it is their responsibility to contact us either by phone (0333 022 0999*) or email (hello@impulsefirstaid.com) to arrange for them to be re-sent.

Failure to attend the course due to not receiving joining instructions will result in the full cost of the course being charged. It is the responsibility of the booker to ensure that the delegate is fully briefed and made aware of these instructions and all course requirements before attending the course.

Postage of documentation is available for UK addresses. Where documentation is required outside the UK, requests will require approval and additional fees may apply.

Attendance

Delegates must attend and complete all aspects of the course to qualify for certification. The full cost of the course will be charged for delegate(s) who arrive late or are absent from all or part of the course. This applies even if they are refused admittance due to lateness.

Meeting the needs of delegates

We have an Equal Opportunities Policy. To enable us to ensure that all customers are treated fairly and their requirements are fully met, you must advise us in advance of any special requirements that your delegate(s) need in order to enable them to participate fully in the training.

Please note that we do not provide any specialist equipment and/or personnel such as signers or translators; however, these can be sourced at your own cost. All reasonable adjustments will be made, where possible.

Delegate selection

It is the responsibility of the employer to select suitable persons to train to become first aiders in the workplace. It is important that such individuals are:

  • Physically able to provide colleagues with first aid e.g. able to kneel on the floor and administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The duties of a first aider can be physically demanding. In line with the Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) Approved Code of Practice, delegates must be free from any condition that will affect their participation in the course and their capability to carry out the duties of a first aider.
  • Reliable, with the necessary disposition and communication skills.
  • Able to cope with stressful and physically demanding emergency procedure.
  • Easily reachable in the event of an emergency at work.
  • 16 years old and above.

Delegates who are unable to meet the above requirements or fail to meet the pre-set assessment criteria for the course will not be awarded a certificate and will therefore be unable to act as first aiders within the workplace.

Re-certification

It is the employer’s responsibility to ensure that all delegates attending a first aid at work requalification course hold proof of a current (in date) first aid at work certificate which is valid for the duration of the requalification course being attended.

In Northern Ireland, delegates whose certificates lapse before or during training will not be accepted onto the course. In this instance, the full delegate course fee will still be charged. It is the responsibility of the employer to provide a copy of the certificate at the time of booking.

Limitation of liability

Except in respect of death or personal injury caused by our negligence, we shall not be liable by reason of any representation (unless fraudulent) or implied warranty condition or other term, or any duty at common law or under the express terms of this agreement, for any loss of profit or any indirect special or consequential loss, costs, expenses or other claims for compensation. Our entire liability to you under or in connection with this agreement and the provision of the first aid training shall not exceed the sum of twice the contract value. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to exclude any liability on our part for fraud.

Data Protection

Non-sensitive Personal data collected will be used for the purpose of delegate(s) and course administration and may be disclosed to appropriate bodies/organisations associated with such course.

The information may also be used for marketing purposes and you may be contacted by telephone or e-mail with details of future similar events and courses organised or promoted by us which may be of interest to you.
