MindfulnessUK Terms and Conditions
These terms and conditions relate to all products, training and services delivered worldwide. (Any claims made from parties in the USA and Canada must be made through UK courts).
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 and Retreats, 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 Teacher Training
A deferral is when a candidate (learner) is unable to continue the Teacher Training they have already started and, due unforeseen and extenuating circumstances, needs to pause their studies and wish to continue at a later date. Deferrals are required to be requested by learners within one week of missing any teaching session, by emailing info@mindfulnessuk.com. A clear reason must be provided, and the learner must meet with a tutor within 4 weeks of this request to identify and agree an individual plan with a specific timeline for their deferral.
All learners on a Teacher Training are required to recommence study within 12 months of their original start date and complete all teaching sessions within 12 months from the date they recommence. Learners on the IMC Qualification are required to complete and pass all the Assessment Criteria in full within their agreed individual plan (maximum timeframe to complete is within 24months of the original start date) to gain certification from the CPCAB.
Deferrals to other cohorts are dependent on availability (and CPCAB approval for IMC Qualification) and there will be a deferral fee of £200 charged.
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 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 can accept no further liability for cancellations beyond the fee refund.
