To retain your place on the course, you should provide written confirmation of the booking. This can be performed on-line (if booked via the website) or by email, fax, or letter.

Joining Instructions
Joining instructions will be sent to you approximately 3 weeks prior to the course.
Payment Terms
An invoice will be issued on confirmation of the course. Payment is due on receipt,and should be received by Changescope at least 14 days prior to the course commencement date. Payment is due immediately should the booking be made within 14 days of the course commencement date. If for whatever reason payment is not received, attendance at the course will not be permitted.
Fees and expenses for Client specific closed courses and assignments are normally invoiced monthly and are payable within thirty days of the invoice date.
All course fees shown in this schedule are exclusive of Value Added Tax which should be added to the amount shown at the ruling rate at the time of booking the course. Our VAT registration number is GB333 1589 09. If the customer fails to make any payment when due Changescope reserves the right to levy a late payment charge calculated at the rate of 2% per month accruing daily from the date the invoice becomes due for payment.
Cancellations and transfers
While cancellations and course transfers are not unusual, once a course has been purchased the customer must complete the workshop within one calendar year of the original date of purchase. Transfers beyond this point will not be permitted.
Cancellations and transfers will only be accepted if made in writing and received at least four weeks before the start of the course. Within this period where the notice given is two weeks or more, cancellations or transfers will incur a charge equivalent to 50% of the course fee. Where cancellations or transfers are made less than two weeks prior to the start of the course a charge equivalent to 100% of the course fee will be payable.
