Brighton Holistics reserves the right to cancel or alter course dates or change the course delivery and make reasonable variations to the courses without prior notice. In the event of cancellation by Brighton Holistics, the booking will normally be transferred to the next available course start date, unless the learner specifically requests otherwise. Brighton Holistics will not be liable for any expenses incurred by the learner associated with joining that course.
2.2 – Cancellation and non-attendance:
Where the learner cancels any course or fails to attend the training on the confirmed dates to receive the services/training, the following charges will be paid by the Client to Brighton Holistics:
Courses cancelled with more than 21 days notice will incur a 20% admin fee of the entire course fee.
Courses cancelled within twenty-one days of the course start date = 25% of the course fee will be forfeited.

3.1 – Online Course Instalment payments – Instalment payment plans are only available on level 3 online qualification courses. If an instalment payment plan is arranged between Brighton Holistics and the learner to fund a course, this will be at 0% interest.

The qualification gained from our short course will only be accepted for professional practice and insurance if the learner holds the prerequisites of a recognised accredited Level 3 or 4 Body Sports Massage / Aromatherapy / Reflexology / Beauty (level 2 or 3) qualification. Please also note that if you wish to study a level 3 qualification, there are no pre-course requisites.

4.2 – It is the learner’s responsibility to check with their insurance company and or professional body, that they hold the required pre-course requisites before attending a course at Brighton Holistics.

5 – License to Practice Therapy
Some London boroughs require therapists to have a license and specific qualifications (i.e., FHT, VTCT, NVQ or Level 3). It is each student’s responsibility to check that the course they have booked onto will meet the requirements of their local council or any employer whom they wish to work for. This must be done before booking onto a training course as refunds are not available to any student who has started or completed a course, who then decides that it does not meet their requirements.
6.1 – Tutors and Courses
Brighton Holistics has male and female tutors, and courses are open to both men and women. We are unfortunately unable to guarantee whether your course will be offered by a male or female tutor. If you explicitly do not wish to practice on a male or female client, then you may be required to provide your own model for your training.
6.2 – If you have booked onto a Swedish Body Massage Level 3 course or a Body Massage Level 3 course, or if your courses contains Body Massage Level 3, we will automatedly upgrade you to Sports Massage Level 3. This will be of great benefit to you, as this course will give you much more underpinning knowledge and additional techniques which can be used in your massage therapy when qualified. You will be award two qualifications Body Massage Level 3 and Sports Massage Level 3. Please note that both modules Body and Sports massage must be completed.

We ask that you don’t arrive any more than 15 minutes before your course start time, as this is the time the tutor is preparing for the training day.
7.2 – Class Size –We believe that small groups are best for training. We always try to work with a maximum of eight learners per class, which allows the tutor to monitor individuals progress and development. On very rare occasions we may need to add additional learners to a group, however, we would never have more than ten learners in a class.
7.3 – Missed Practical sessions – If a practical session and has been scheduled for you and you fail to show up without notification (24 Hours) this will be charged £50 per hour.

You must make contact before 10.30 am (the start time for the course).

Please do your best to avoided lateness by checking the route to Brighton Holistics well in advance and researching alternative routes if delays seem likely. Note that by just entering the Postcode into a Sat Nav or Google Maps, you will not be taken directly to the course location, you must enter the street number as well.

If the learner continues to film or record after being asked not to, they will be asked to leave the training, and no refund for the course will be offered.

Brighton Holistics will not reserve a space or remove a learner from another course to facilitate you.

Learners do not practice treatments on each other as this reduces the learning time by half. The model would not be required until 1.15 pm each day for the practical session.

12.1 – Courses, Training Manuals, Case Studies Online Theory Session, Certification and Continuing Education
Brighton Holistics uses a computerised education system called a “Moodle” (we call this the Learners Portal) for all courses. This system is used across all education levels and is easy to use. You will need to have basic computer skills to use this system. An email will be sent to you on your training day, giving you the information, you need to access this system. Please note that we do not email manuals or send out training manuals before the course start date.
Brighton Holistics – Computer Literacy Policy – Please click HERE for further information
12.2 – Terminology: The terminology used within any the Brighton Holistics manuals and courses is not designed to cause offence or upset to anyone. The terminology used was acceptable at the time of course production and passing the accreditation process. However, in these changing times, some names or language used may potentially now be classed as offensive. Brighton Holistics works tirelessly to make sure that our manuals and course work is inclusive to all groups. Brighton Holistics, unfortunately, cannot be held responsible for terminology which may now offend. Some vocabulary is required to explain different forms, methodologies or conditions. This is out of Brighton Holistics’ control as it may be an accreditation or learning outcome requirement. At no time is any offence meant against any individual or group.
12.3 – Training Manuals: Will be downloadable to each learner via their online Learning Portal. These manuals will be available to download for 60 days once your course has started. It will be the learner’s responsibility to download and save their training manuals within this time. Manuals can be read on all devices.
12.4 – Case Studies: Each qualification course (level 2, 3 and 4) will require case studies. A short course may also require you to complete case studies to obtain a full diploma certificate. This information will be shown on the relevant course website page. All case studies will need to be uploaded to the Learners Portal. It is the learner’s responsibility to make sure that all work is saved and backed up. Once the learning outcomes have been achieved, and you have completed your course, the Learners Portal will be saved and archived, and you will no longer have access to this course.
12.5 – Certification: On a Short Diploma / CPD course, you will be required to upload a copy of your Level 3 qualification to the Learners Portal before certification can be issued. This is a requirement from the course accreditor. It is the learners’ responsibility to ensure they have the required pre-course requisite before booking onto a course.
12.6 – Online theory: Once you have confirmed a Zoom Theory session this becomes a confirmed tutorial session, the same as a tutorial day in class. Cancelling a Zoom theory sessions will be treated as a cancelled tutorial day and can lead to your course being deferred or you having to pay an additional £50 per hour to reschedule the theory session. All relevant theory sessions must be completed to complete your course, as 100% attendance is still required for all courses.
12.6a – Online theory: Meeting etiquette.
Please make sure you arrive to the meeting waiting room on time.
Please make sure that your webcam is turned on and positioned correctly. Anyone who turns their webcam off will be asked to leave the meeting.
Please be mindful of background noise. If you can, mute your microphone and only turn it on to ask a question or for conversation.
Please ensure that you will have minimal distractions during the meeting. This includes, family, pets, phones etc.
Please make sure that email, text messages and mobile phone notifications are turned off on your phone and computer.
Please remember that you are attending a training session, therefore the same etiquette applies as it would in the classroom. Don’t try to multi-task during this training session.
Zoom sessions are classed as face to face learning as they are interactive, so please feel free to interact like you would in the classroom and ask questions, but make sure the presenter is aware that you wish to ask one by indication on Zoom that you want to ask a question using the wave icon or just raising your hand, so that as much as possible, only one person at a time is talking to allow for everyone to listen.
Please also be aware that someone in the group may have hearing or learning difficulties so be supportive of this. If you didn’t hear or understand something which was said, please ask for the tutor to repeat or rephrase their statement. It is more difficult for us to judge comprehension through body language online, as it would be in person.
12.7 – If you complete a Short Diploma / CPD course but choose to complete with a CPD certificate, we will not be able to offer a diploma certificate after the CPD certificate has been issued. For further information on the difference between CPD and Diploma certification, please click HERE.

12.8 – Certification for all our courses is sent via email. This is sent to you once you have met the learning outcomes and final assessments. We aim to have all the certifications sent to you within seven working days. If you wish to receive a paper copy of your certification a postage and packing fee of £5.95 will apply.
12.9 – Certification will be issued under the name you gave at the time of booking. Please make sure you keep copies of manuals and certificates as duplicates will not be issued.
12.10 – Please also note that if you fail to log in to the system for 60 days, the system automatically removes you, and all uploaded work and grades will be deleted. It is the learners’ responsibility to log in and keep the system updated, not Brighton Holistics. Brighton Holistics will not be responsible for work which is lost or deleted.

12.11 – Continuing Education courses (APL): Continuing Education courses uses a system called APL (accredited parallel learning) which can only be used for a maximum of five years from the original completion date of your original level 3 qualification. After this time, you will be required to take the full Level 3 qualification and not an APL qualification.
12.12 – To qualify for an APL your original qualification must be a recognised level 3 qualification, which meets the National Occupational Standard and the Core Curriculum. The APL certification you are submitting for the APL qualification must clearly show that you have met and passed the learning outcome required to APL the particular module. Brighton Holistics will not be responsible for the standard, quality or content of what has been taught by your previous training schools. If you are completing a Continuing Education course and your original level 3 course hasn’t covered the units required to complete the APL course, it will be the learner’s responsibility to pay for the additional modules APL to complete the APL course.
Please note that once a course has been started an APL claim can not be claimed. All APL claims must be made at the time of booking and it is the learners responsibility to claim, not Brighton Holistics.
Brighton Holistics – Accreditation of Prior Learning Policy – Please click HERE for further information.
12.13 – Sometimes during a course, we may need to make a change to the content of the course due to a change in the National Occupational standard, alter the course delivery or if Brighton Holistics and the accreditor feel that an additional module is required to better the course, thus giving you better-underpinning knowledge or practical skill. Brighton Holistics are always looking at different ways that a course can be improved by adding additional skills or knowledge.

24.2 – If you are completing the Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology final assessment for a level 3 qualification, such as Body massage, Reflexology, Aromatherapy etc. this must be completed with an assessor observing your assessment and is completed online by using our online assessment program called “Zoom”. If you are taking Anatomy and Physiology as a general knowledge subject, this does not need to be witnessed by the assessor.
Please note – ITEC and VTCT qualification assessments have to be invigilated by an assessor and we are one of the few training schools that meet the requirements to allow you to complete your online assessment online in your own home and country. However, if you wish you can always come to our training venue in Brighton to complete the assessment. To be able to complete your final assessment online, you must have access to our assessment program called “Zoom”.

An anatomy and physiology assessment is a knowledge-based assessment.
Final assessment dates will be given to you once you have reached the needed learning outcomes and when you advise us that you are ready. You must notify us of your chosen exam date at least eight weeks before the final assessment exam date.

If you are completing your assessment with another ITEC or VTCT assessment centre, you must take your original Pathology assignments with you on your assessment day, failure to do this would mean you can’t sit your assessment.
24.4 – Please note that when you are completing your online assessments, you must make sure that you have a good Wi-Fi, 3g or 4g connection. If the signal keeps breaking, then your assessment will be cancelled, and you will have to reschedule your assessment. This will be classed as a failed assessment. We advise the use of a computer with a webcam to complete your final assessment, we do not advise trying to complete your assessment on a smartphone or tablet. For further information on the program we use for assessment please click on this link. https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/206618765-Zoom-Video-Tutorials?_ga=2.28205500.1888201004.1592337502-1868103414.1592337502 . You may be asked to download an app or software to give you full functionality. Your Assessment will also be recorded for assessment Invigilation purposes.
