Booking Policy

Upon booking a course, a confirmation email will be sent to the registered email address. Additionally, attendees will then receive an automated reminder email that is scheduled to be sent.

1. one week prior to the training
2. one day prior to the training

A final reminder will be sent up to 15 minutes before the training session. If confirmation emails are not received, it is advisable to verify the accuracy of the email address or inspect the junk mail folder.

**On the occasion reminder emails are not received it is the responsibility of the attendee to make a note of the date and time of the training at the time of booking and follow up with CSCP training with any questions.

Cancellations and No-shows

Eventbrite is a self-service platform where attendees can make cancellations. Cancellation via Eventbrite is the preferred option as this prevents delays in acknowledgment. Eventbrite will send a cancellation to the registered email address a copy will also be sent to the CSCP training mailbox.

Notice of non-attendance must be provided at least three working days before the training. This is to allow notice to be given to trainers, and venues and for waiting list tickets to be released to other attendees.

As of the 1st of September 2023, attendees who fail to show up will be added to the no-show list and will be restricted from booking further events for the next six months. This stringent measure is necessitated by the escalating financial burden incurred by the CSCP due to unused slots for training events. Cancellation notices received on the day of the event will also place the attendee on the no-show list.

The training policy can be read in full in the training section on the CSCP website.
