Additional course costs: Any candidate travel and accommodation costs to attend the centre are not included - please note that all training is now delivered remotely but exams must be sat at the North Tees Centre.

Additional costs will be incurred if a candidate is required to retake any failed exams (£95 per resit)  as this attracts a further  RSPH fee. 

There will be an admin charge of £300 should the candidates leave the course early or if training is deferred – please ensure the North Tees Centre is notified in all instances.

Missed teaching sessions. If a candidate, due to reasons beyond their immediate control, is unable to attend a teaching session or meet an assignment deadline; then following discussion and approval with the centre, will be given reasonable support to allow completion of the module and extension to any submitted work. 

​

Exams. There are no in-year resits. Missed examinations and resits will be completed in the following academic year so can set back a candidates final result being announced by up to a 12 months – it is recommended that candidates are aware of the exam dates in advance and ensure they can attend all dates.

Record of attendance. Regular non–attendance to teaching and revision sesions may result in North Tees Centre being unable to support the candidate appropriately during the training period. This could result in the candidate being asked to leave the course with no refund of fees. All online sessions are recorded along with candidate’s details of attendance (both candidate name and duration they were logged in for the session).

Course fee payments. All fees must be paid in full prior to starting the course – please ensure either payment has been made or a purchase order number has been provided with the application - non payment of fees will result in the centre being unable to register a candidate with the RSPH and progress further with the course.

Refunds of fees; are at the discretion of the centre and will be on a case by case basis following discussion with both candidate and mentor. As a minimum should a candidate leave the course prior to completion there will be an administration charge of £300.00 plus incurred teaching fees and RSPH registration and examination fees which are non-refundable. Please ensure the candidate understands the commitment required to undertake the course prior to attending and payment of fees.

Course conduct. Candidates must ensure their behaviour is appropriate at all times whilst attending the centre and be reminded they are representing their respective organisation (s) – concerns regarding a candidates behaviour may be discussed directly with their employers.
