In such a case full forfeiture of any fees paid will apply.
Although we will endeavour to assist you, it is the candidates’ responsibility to ensure that all pre requisite certification, documentation and/or identification is held by the candidate and can be provided before we undertake training or issue certification. Candidates unable to provide this information will not be able to start/complete any training and no refund will be made.
Where WMT is required to cancel a course for whatever reason, we will notify you on your contact number or email as given to us. We will leave a message where appropriate. We will not give further telephone notifications. Any costs incurred by the candidate for travelling etc to cancelled courses will not be reimbursed by WMT.
Where WMT cancels a course, we will offer the candidate a new training date and/or venue. Where this is not acceptable or possible, a full refund will be made to the person, company or body that made the original payment.
Refunds that have been made by card will only be assigned back to the card of issuance. Payments by cash or cheque will be refunded by cheque to the payee.
