IN TRAINING’s confirmation will be deemed to bind the Client to these terms and conditions and no services shall be performed by IN TRAINING except in accordance herewith.

No other agreement, representation, promise, undertaking or understanding of any kind unless expressly confirmed in writing by a director of IN TRAINING shall add, vary or waive any of these Conditions.

IN TRAINING shall not be liable for any delay in delivering the course howsoever caused.

- Successful completion of the Course does not imply or guarantee the acceptance of the certificate by an employer nor does it imply or guarantee an offer of employment.

As such I, the Client, waive my right to cancel the course except in accordance with IN TRAINING Terms and Conditions. By booking a course the Client agrees to accept these Terms and Conditions.
