MindfulnessUK Terms and Conditions
MindfulnessUK Events are very popular and there are a limited number of spaces for anything that we offer.
| We recommend you take out your own insurance in case you have to cancel through illness or unforeseen circumstances. This includes issues related to Covid 19.
If you have to cancel, let us know as soon as possible: cancellation charges are dependent on how far we know in advance of the course. |
Booking
All Events (Excluding Teacher Training and Retreats- see further below)
We require full payment for any of our Events no later than 4 weeks before the start date to confirm your place. Your place will be lost if you fail to make payment within the timescale.
Cancellations and Postponement
You must cancel a booking no later than 4 weeks before the course, workshop, or other Event for which you have been booked to qualify for a refund.
If you cancel with less than 4 weeks’ notice, your payment will not be refunded.
You can request to postpone your attendance on the Event, however if you make this request with less than 4 week's notice your payment will not be refunded, postponement is subject to availability and there will be an admin fee of £20.
Teacher Training and Retreats
Booking
Once applicants are accepted to Teacher Training or Retreat Events, they will receive an acceptance letter with joining instructions. Please be aware that paying by instalments incurs an additional charge due to additional administration and bank charge fees.
Cancellations and Changes
| Cancellation date | Result |
| More than 4 months before a course | Any fees paid are refundable, less transfer and bank charges |
| Between 4 and 2 months | Loss of 30% cost of whole teacher training programme/retreat. It is however transferrable to another date, if available. |
| Between 2 months and 4 weeks | Loss of 50% cost of whole teacher training programme/ retreat, plus transfer and bank charges. |
| Less than 4 weeks before | Loss of 100% cost of whole teacher training programme/retreat. |
In circumstances where the student wishes to leave a course to which they have committed and enrolled and which has started, if they have agreed to pay by instalments no refund will be issued and the second and third instalments will remain due and be collected on the pre-advised dates.
Deferring from the course/ retreat
A deferral is when a candidate (Learner) is unable to complete the course/ retreat they have already started, yet, due unforeseen circumstances, need to pause their studies and wish continue at a later date. Deferrals need to be requested by students ASAP; a maximum of one week after missing a teaching session, by emailing info@mindfulnessuk.com with a clear reason given. After which learners must meet with a tutor within 4 weeks to identify and agree an individual plan for continuing with a clear timeline.
Deferrals to other courses are dependent on availability and there will be a deferral fee of £100 charged.
Please note that if students taking the Integrating Mindfulness and Compassion in Professional Practice Qualification defer, they must complete the course within one year or will be charged an additional registration fee.
Administration charges
Should you require additional input from anyone from the MindfulnessUK team, we reserve the right to charge a minimum of £50 to cover this additional work. Please be aware that the CPCAB awarding body charges MindfulnessUK a fee for any additional administration for students, over and above the usual course administration, and these charges will be passed on to you should the changes be instigated by you.
If we have to cancel
In the very unlikely event that we have to cancel your booking, your fee will be refunded in full. Every endeavour will be made to inform you of this at the earliest possible opportunity.
Covid 19
If MindfulnessUK or Sharpham Trust is forced to close due to Government rules, then a full refund will be offered. If the participant wants to cancel because of Covid 19, the cancellation terms above will apply.
MindfulnessUK and The Sharpham Trust can accept no further liability for cancellations beyond the fee refund.
