For the purposes of these Terms and Conditions any reference to “D.S.T.O” shall be deemed to mean Door Supervisor Training Organisation Limited.

These Terms and Conditions apply to all work carried out in the provision of training by D.S.T.O to any bookings made by the delegate or authorised by a representative of the delegate. No additions or modifications to these Terms and Conditions shall have effect unless expressly agreed in writing by both parties.

The terms and conditions set out herein are a complete statement of the agreement between the parties.

Course Booking

Bookings are accepted at any time up to the course start date, subject to availability. All prices quoted are inclusive of VAT at the prevailing rate. D.S.T.O reserves the right to refuse admittance to any delegate for whom the course fees have not been paid.

Once a delegate has made a booking for a D.S.T.O. training course, joining instructions will be sent via email or post.

Reservations will not be complete until D.S.T.O. has received full payment for the chosen course

Rescheduled

In the unlikely event of extreme circumstances, it may be necessary for D.S.T.O to reschedule a course upon which a booking has been made.  D.S.T.O. reserves the right to re-schedule the commencement date of any course.

D.S.T.O will offer the choice of-accepting alternative arrangements, or cancelling you’re booking and receiving a full refund of all payments made.

D.S.T.O reserves the right to change the course venue in extreme circumstances to a venue within a 5 miles radius of the original location. DSTO does not accept liability for payments made to third parties by or on behalf of a delegate (e.g. in respect of travel, accommodation or subsistence).

Cancellation and Transfer Policy

In cases whereby the delegate will be unfit or unable to attend a booked course, D.S.T.O. will permit one re- booking for a later date to the same course. The delegate must notify D.S.T.O. of their inability to attend the original course prior to its commencement.

If a booking is cancelled or transferred to a different course by the delegate D.S.T.O reserves the right to charge the following fees, these terms also apply to the rebooking of resits.

Failure to turn up for a resit will result in the offer of 2 free resits being withdrawn. After the candidate has used the 2 free resits DSTO offer we  will charge £20.00 per exam to resit.

No refund will be made for bookings cancelled less than 7 days before the event, except in exceptional circumstances and then only at the discretion of the Training Manager.

Examinations

Where examination(s) form part of the training course, whether by an internal or external examining authority, no refund fees can be given in the event of a candidate failing to fulfil the stipulated requirements.

Delegate and course suitability

It is the delegate’s responsibility to ensure that the course is suitable for their requirements. All delegates should have read and understood the course outline and met the necessary pre-requisites if applicable. Delegates who do not meet the pre-requisites may be asked to leave by the training provider.

Delegate Substitution

A delegate may be substituted by another delegate prior to the start of the course without penalty, providing that the replacement delegate is suitable. (See delegate suitability above) and D.S.T.O has been informed prior to course start date.
