Please only book part two if you are booking part 1. We have applied the fee to part 1 of the training so part 2 will not require any further payment.  Please select the dates that suit you for each part but we would recommend a 1-2 week interval between courses. \nImportant: Please note the following booking conditions. \n\nIt is only viable for us to run a course with 6 or more attendees.  In the event your course date has less than 6 people booked on we will ask you to move to another available date.\nAs we move into Autumn\, courses are becoming fully booked.  If you need to move your course date\, we will accommodate where possible but can not guarantee your preferred new date.  We will need a minimum of two weeks notice to move your booked date (to allow others to book on) or a charge for that date will be made.\nNo shows on the day will be charged for the full course plus the cost of attending another course.
