FAQs

Can I pay for the training by invoice?

Yes. We use Eventbrite as our booking system.  On the order page there is a drop down box on the payment method, where you can select pay by invoice.  The invoice will then be sent separately.

Why are the training sessions online only?

We have decided to keep the training sessions online to ensure the costs are kept as low as possible for delegates.
