Course specific  notes:

Candidate travel and accommodation costs to attend the centre are not included.

Additional costs may be incurred if a candidate is required to retake any failed exams (£50 per resit)  as this attracts a further  RSPH fee. Additional costs will be discussed as required.

If a candidate; due to reasons beyond their immediate control is unable to attend the centre for a module; following discussion and approval with the centre, will be given reasonable support to allow the module to be completed via distance learning. If the candidate was required to hand in a written assessment during the time at the centre, this could be sent electronically or via recorded delivery to the centre to allow submission to the RSPH.

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 month period – it is recommended that candidates are aware of the exam dates in advance and ensure they can attend all dates.

Regular non – attendance 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 fees must be paid in full prior to starting the course – please ensure either a cheque 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 £200.00 plus incurred teaching fees and RSPH 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.

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