Terms & Conditions

All licences are subject to 1 year unless otherwise stated.

Licenced material will be withdrawn unless the user purchases a subsequent licence.

Any unused Licences within a bulk purchase will automatically become void and not be carried over.

All licenses can be issued to sub-accounts only once, if the sub-account has not started the course then the licence may be issued to a new sub-account.  Any licence issued to a sub-account and the sub-account access to the course material will result in the licence being used and not allowed to be re-issued to another sub-account. Any violation of this rule the client will be invoiced for the re-issued licence at the full licence price. If the client fails to pay within the time indicated on the invoice then all licences will be revoked without refund.

Licences may also be removed and any certificates issued under the licence will be void and certificate numbers will be blocked. 

Licences do not cover the cost of the NFCQ Groups or the NFCQ Coordinators course. These are separately licenced.

NFCQ Groups are normally provided by the licence purchaser, in the case of an individual purchaser then the Group reflective work or Group meetings will not form part of the course.

It is the Group coordinator’s responsibility to ensure the information required for the iTOL accreditation is passed on to [email protected] promptly. Individuals who have purchased the course must submit their certificate number to [email protected] for the iTOL accreditation.

If you require any assistance please contact our [email protected] for further information.
