Course Booking Terms

Bookings. Will be deemed confirmed once the enrolment form is received, completed in full and signed, one per student, along with the required deposit or balance.

Confirmation. We will confirm all bookings in writing, within 5 days of receiving the enrolment form/s and deposit/balance.

Course fee. Where a deposit has been paid, the balance will be required no less than 7 days prior to the commencement of the course.

If a booked student cannot attend, a suitable student may attend in their place at no additional charge, on condition that the replacement student is of a suitable level of experience and knowledge to attend the course in question. Seafarer Training must be notified of any substitutions prior to the course date.

Participation. All courses are run totally in English. Delegates are therefore required to have an English language proficiency that will enable them to participate fully and meaningfully in the course. Written examinations are necessary on most of the courses. Please advise us of any learning support each student may require (see ‘Learning Support’ section of this enrolment form).

Venue. At customers premises please ensure that a room of adequate size to accommodate total amount of students is made solely available for the course. We would also require sufficient lighting, power points, tables and seating for students to enable the instructor to carry out the course effectively.

Some courses require specific rooms and facilities as laid down by the HSE. For such courses it may be necessary for us to inspect a customers premises to approve it as an appropriate venue. A member of the customer’s staff should confirm details of local fire and evacuation procedures, domestic arrangements for refreshments and meals prior to the course commencing.

Liability. If any course is over or under subscribed, Seafarer Training reserves the right to reschedule as necessary, although this is something we largely try to avoid. In this event however, every effort will be made to give as much notice as possible.

Seafarer Training shall not be liable for the failure to perform its duties due to death, illness, accident, industrial dispute, and third party default or for any reason outside of their reasonable control.

Certificates. In order to maintain high standards, certificates will only be issued where the course instructor is satisfied that the student has reached the necessary standard. The Principal and Instructors decision shall be final.

Protective Clothing. Students attending a course which involves going to sea, whether in a confined water (lake, harbour or marina) or the open sea will be required to bring their own suitable warm clothing, wet weather gear and sun protection. Where required, life jackets will be provided.

Water Sessions. Every attempt will be made to allow students maximum time on the water during relevant courses. However, if, in the instructor’s opinion, weather conditions, safety or any other reason renders it non-prudent to stay out, the instructor may decide to cancel or postpone a training session. The instructor’s decision will be final.
