Attendance:

1. If you have started but are unable to complete a Module due to illness or circumstances beyond your control, then the Tutor may offer a range of options to enable you to complete the work you have missed. Depending upon the circumstances, this may incur an additional fee – for example one-to-one training with the Tutor or repeating a Module. Some of these options may result in you being unable to remain with the same student group or Tutor. Should this occur then please contact your Tutor for details.
2. Whenever possible your Tutor will try and accommodate any start, finish and lunch timing requests, however this is not always achievable due to the quantity of work which needs to be covered. The Tutor reserves the right to begin teaching at the scheduled time. Students arriving late to class may therefore miss some of the course work and will need to catch up in their own time. If catching up involves one-to-one time with the Tutor, then this may incur an additional fee. Should this occur then please contact your Tutor for advice.
3. The maximum spacing between hands-on Modules is 12 months. After this time the previous hands-on Module must be re-taken. Previous hands-on Modules can be re-taken at a reduced rate. Please contact speak to your Tutor for details.
4. All qualified therapists are welcome to attend the first two days of Module 5, as a CPD workshop at a reduced rate. Please see the website or contact your Tutor for bookings and costs.

Behaviour and Complaints:

1. Student welfare is paramount. CBS aims to create a vibrant, safe learning environment treating all Students equally with both dignity and respect, irrespective of age, ability, gender or nationality.
2. Any Student behaving in a manner deemed by the Tutor to be inappropriate, abusive or threatening will be asked to leave the course immediately pending further investigation.
3. In the event of a complaint, you should contact your Tutor in the first instance. If you feel unable or it is not possible to do this, then please contact directors@collegeofbowenstudies.uk.
4. External training providers are carefully selected to provide you with a quality workshop. In the event of a complaint, please contact the workshop Tutor in the first instance. If you feel unable or it is not possible to do this, or your complaint is unresolved then please contact either Jo Wortley, Colin Murray or CBS Head Office Directly – contact details are available on the website.

*unless agreed in advance, in writing with your Tutor
