Terms & Conditions
COVID-19
We understand that it may not be possible for someone to attend an in-person training weekend because of Covid-19. Under these special circumstances there will be the option to participate live by Zoom and we will do our best to make sure those attending online have the opportunity to participate as fully as possible and engage with a high quality live interactive experience online.
If training cannot be delivered in-person by us on any of the dates due to Covid-19 it will be moved online only for the necessary period of time.
In any of the circumstances above, if a Trainee still cannot attend the live online training alternative offered this will be recorded as an absence and the attendance criteria for certification will still apply.
If, for reasons due to Covid-19, it becomes necessary for a Trainee to make individual use of the online alternative to in-person training for more than four days of the course, BeeLeaf and the Trainee will discuss the impact of this on their learning and on the group. A context sensitive consideration will be given as to whether it is better for the Trainee to defer training until their in-person participation can be restored.
