Cancellation / Refunds Policy:
Please note cancellation charges apply. Upon booking, 50% of the course fee is immediately non-refundable. Bookings which are cancelled less than 1 month prior to the course are 100% non-refundable.
In very exceptional cases it may be possible to change the training dates booked to a later date providing we have a minimum of 1 months notice in writing to request a date change.
Cancellation of any course by the company itself will mean full repayment of fees to the candidate. We reserve the right to amend or cancel any training date or location. Should this be necessary our staff will contact delegates immediately and arrange an alternative date. We do not accept responsibility for any travel expenses or accommodation costs from delegates.
We reserve the right to cancel course bookings or withdraw delegates from the course that we feel to be disruptive, defamatory or impeding of our courses.
Training Course Bookings:
Payment is required at the time of booking. Privacy Policy – We do not store credit card details nor do we share customer details with any 3rd parties.
A certificate of completion of the course will be issued upon completion.
Training course models will be provided for the purpose of education. We do not require delegates to bring their own models. Delegates will share the consultation and treatment plan holistically for each model on the day of the course to reinforce a team learning exercise and enable interactive practical sessions. There may be different trainers across each course to allow for variety in the theory and practical sessions.
Food will be provided by the company, please make us aware of any special dietary needs a week prior to the course so we can fulfil your requirements.
Please be aware that any delegates arriving late to the course may not be able to participate in the course or certified.
We do not accept any liability for the cost of any travel expenses or hotel/accommodation costs incurred by delegates to attend our courses.
Like many authorised training providers, our curriculum has been assessed and approved by cosmetic indemnity providers who provide recognition & authorisation of indemnity. With this status being held, we can not be held responsible if:
• The guidelines change.
• There are further requirements for future qualification which are not met by Derma Medical’s training structure.
Cosmetic Models
Models used on the day are there to help with the learning needs of our delegates, so your attendance is paramount to the structure of the course. We constantly need models for the medical practitioners to train on under the strict supervision of our trainers, so we kindly ask that you are reliable with your appointment times.
Models are provided for the purpose of education and pay a discounted price for this reason. Treatments on models are performed by the course delegates under trainer supervision and delegates will share the consultation and treatment plan holistically for each model on the day of the course to reinforce a team learning exercise and enable interactive practical sessions.
Please be aware that we strictly abide by the latest guidance so all models must be over 18 and not be pregnant or breast feeding. A complete medical history will be taken before any treatment is performed and all models should have informed written consent prior to being treated.
Cancellations / Refunds
If you decide to cancel a treatment that you have booked in as a model we do not offer refunds.
We are able to transfer payments to another treatment or appointment time provided we are given at least 4 weeks notice before the treatment date. If the model decides not to have further treatment in this situation, payment would be retained by the company.
Because the smooth running of our training days rely on the appointments we make for models, we cannot make any changes to our scheduled appointments within the 4 weeks before a treatment date.
If a model fails to attend their allocated appointment or wishes to cancel a booking, payment is retained by the company and no refunds will be issued.
Suitability for Treatment
Like any medical procedure/intervention, a full medical history and facial assessment is required before treatment. As a training company, we strictly adhere to guidance published by the General Medical Council and teach this to our delegates. If we feel you would not benefit from a treatment on the day, the treatment will not go ahead and your payment will be refunded. Despite the discounted price of all treatments for the purpose of educating delegates, we strongly encourage all models to consider all treatments prior to undergoing them and not rush into any decisions. If models have any questions prior to their treatment, we encourage you to ask us.
We will require accurate information from models to enable use of the correct product to be ordered and will not be held responsible for any omission or incorrect information given.
Price Structuring & Offers
The only incentive to models at our training days is the discounted cost of the products. We will not charge high street clinic or retail prices to models as we recognise this is a training event. We strongly adhere to guidance relating to offers for such treatments. This means that we will not offer free treatments as a ‘prize’ or ‘Buy-one-get-one-free’ on any treatments that we provide. We will treat the administration of any cosmetic treatments exactly the same as any other form of medical intervention.
Changes to Training Dates
In some circumstances we may need to change your appointment. You will be given advanced notice of this and a suitable alternative appointment date and time will be offered.
