1.    All course fees must be paid in full before certification will be issued.  

2.    The fees paid are in payment for training, not qualification. If, for any reason, certification is withheld, the full course fee payable still applies. Reasons for this could include (amongst others):

Non-attendance at scheduled sessions
Lack of completion of independent study sessions Not reaching a required standard during training Cancellation (by the student) of the course for any reasonably foreseeable reason.
Misrepresenting pre-requisite experience or training requirements when enrolling in a course.

In these cases, the Dive School @ Capernwray will arrange for the completion of courses whenever possible; however, any additional financial cost will be borne by the student.

3.    Deposits are valid for one year after booking. After this, they will be forfeited, and the full charges apply. Similarly, if courses have yet to commence within six months of the deposit being paid, the student must bear any price increase in the advertised cost of the course.

4.    We reserve the right to charge a fee of up to £100 for non-attendance of pre-arranged courses/training sessions or courses/sessions cancelled within 48 hours before the agreed commencement time. This fee would be in addition to any course fees. Obviously, any non-foreseeable medical or family emergency would be excluded from this clause.

5.    For courses where students are required or choose to supply their own equipment, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the equipment is serviceable and fit for purpose. We can accept no liability for equipment failure or its consequences when the equipment is not The Dive School @ Capernwray or Capernwray Gear Hire equipment.

6.    Transport to and from training sessions is the responsibility of the student.

7.    A parent or guardian must supervise all people under 18 years at all times. The Dive School @ Capernwray can accept no responsibility for minors unaccompanied by a parent or guardian.

8.    Vehicles and belongings are the sole responsibility of their owners. Capernwray can accept no liability for loss or damage of property, and the security of possessions and vehicles remains the owner's or driver's sole responsibility.

9.    Sessions are only considered booked when paid for in full.
