Cancellation of a course by IRM
The IRM reserves the right to alter published programmes, trainers, speakers, fees or venues without prior notice and without liability. The IRM also reserves the right to cancel a course at any time without liability to delegates for expenses incurred.
All of our training courses are extremely practical and hands-on. We base our courses on case studies and group interaction; if we do not receive adequate numbers to ensure the training course is practical and effective for each delegate, we retain the right to cancel the course.
In such circumstances delegates will be offered an alternative date or a full refund.
