Changes and Cancellations by You
Cancellation under the Distance Selling Regulations
If you are a consumer and make a booking via our website or by telephone, you have a legal right to cancel a Contract under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation & Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 (‘Distance Selling Regulations’) during the cooling off period of 14 days from date of purchase. This means that during the relevant period if you change your mind or for any other reason you decide you do not want to enrol on a course, you can notify us of your decision to cancel the Contract and receive a refund. Advice about your legal right to cancel the Contract under these regulations is available from your local Citizens’ Advice Bureau or Trading Standards office. A cancellation form is available on request.
If you exercise your legal right to cancel under the Distance Selling Regulations, you will receive a full refund of the price you paid when booking and we will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 calendar days of the day on which you gave us notice of cancellation.
Your legal right to cancel a Contract starts from the date when a booking is made – which is when the Contract between us is formed. You have a period of 14 (fourteen) calendar days in which you may cancel the booking, starting from the day after the day when the booking is made. If this period ends on public holiday then the period will be extended until the next working day.
‘If your course is due to start within the cancellation period then your legal right to cancel is as follows:
If your course has started and ended during the cancellation period then your legal right to cancel will not apply
If your course has started but is due to end after the cancellation period then your legal right to cancel still applies. However, you will have to pay a proportion of the course fee which we will base on the total price of the course and the period of the course from the start date to the date of cancellation.
Other rights of Cancellation.
We understand that occasionally, due to unforeseen circumstances, applicants may need to alter or cancel their arrangements. In these cases every effort will be made to accommodate the change, although please be aware that it may not always be possible. There may also be a delay in enrolling you onto an alternative course.

for paper based distance learning courses within 28 days of the original booking date; or
for any other course that includes an attendance day(s) – no later than 28 days before the start of the original course.
Any alterations and/or cancellations are at our discretion and are subject to an administration fee, as outlined below.
Provided your request is received by us within the timeframe specified above then:
where you wish to transfer to an alternative course and we are willing to accommodate your request then any fees paid, including the deposit, will be transferred to the alternative course; or
where you wish to cancel your course booking but do not wish to enrol on an alternative course, where approved, we will refund you the balance of the fees paid, less the deposit.
In any case, no refund will be given for changes or cancellations made with less than 28 days’ notice and under no circumstances will the deposit be refunded.
The following administration charges will apply to all cancellations or alterations:
Failure to attend or cancellation of an exam (all courses) will be liable to an administration fee of £100.00.
Changes to workshop attendances will be liable to administration fee, details will be confirmed to you when requesting the change. Please call Customer Services to discuss further.

The administration fee will be deducted from the amount refunded. We will process the refund due to you as soon as possible and, in any case, within 30 calendar days of the day on which you gave us notice of cancellation.

Consequences of Failure to Pay
If payment is not made within the time limits set out above, this will be a breach of contract by the client entitling Strength and Success Ltd to treat the contract as at an end, and reallocate the bookings and/or tickets without notice to the client.
In the event of Strength and Success Ltd treating the contracts as at an end Strength and Success Ltd shall be entitled to retain all sums already paid by the client, and the full balance, if any, of the price of the booking shall become immediately payable by the client to Strength and Success Ltd.

The exception to this is if you have begun the Level 4 course or any other course/product in which case you will not be entitled to a refund or cooling off period of any kind.
Once the Buyer registers for the event or purchases the product or programme, Strength and Success Ltd makes extensive arrangements and investments while anticipating their tuition and attendance, and, in the case of their cancellation, incurs significant administration hassles, expenses, and loss of business. Given this fact we do not accept cancellations or issue refunds beginning 14 days after Buyer has registered for the event or purchased the Programme whatsoever.
