In the event that NobleProg cancels or reschedules a course, delegates will be offered an alternative course date or the option to withdraw from the course, and a credit/refund will be issued if appropriate. We cannot take responsibility for additional expenses incurred by the client as a result of cancellation or rescheduling by us.

All copyright and other intellectual property in all material which we prepare for use prior to or during the course, including marketing and course notes, shall be and remain vested in us.

The current course content is detailed in a course outline which may change from time to time, and should be confirmed when booking. We endeavour to address all parts of the course as detailed in the course outline, but this cannot be guaranteed. We may, if possible, change course content at the request of delegates provided this is agreeable to delegates or is felt to be necessary by the tutor. Duration of courses can vary (by hours or days) depending on the number of delegates, the speed of the class and aptitude of delegates. Courses will normally run 9:30-16:30 hours with 1 hour lunch and some refreshment breaks.

Documentation may be provided for some courses and may vary in style and depth. Documentation purchase, preparation and duplication and licensing for non-scheduled courses will be charged on top of course delivery fees, and an invoice will be raised following the course once precise costs are known.

Delegates are expected to behave professionally at all times during the course. Disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated.

Delegates must fulfill the minimum requirements specified in the course. Failure to adhere to these pre-requisites will impact our ability to deliver the course effectively. Inexperienced, under qualified, over experienced and over qualified delegates may attend courses but must realise that the benefits gained will be limited and that instructors cannot normally change course content and depth to suit these delegates, unless by prior arrangement.

We reserve the right to exclude delegates from the course (without refund of fees) at any time if they cause interruptions or delays for the above or any other reasons, or if their qualifications and current experience are impacting on our ability to deliver the course as originally intended.

We reserve the right to stop a course (without refund of fees) should delegates misbehave, cause interruption or should their experience and qualifications be such that we cannot continue to deliver the course as originally intended in terms of content and depth.

All claims made against us by other clients or delegates as a result of such delays or interruptions will be chargeable to those causing the delays.

NobleProg will not take any responsibility whatever for theft or losses to clients belongings left at our premises, or to any damage or loss resulting from attending our premises or our courses/services anywhere in the world. Valuables, computer equipment, personal property, etc., should never be left unattended, even if our instructors/consultants and staff offer to look after these items during breaks, as we have no means of verifying and insuring the items and any losses that may occur. A Course is assumed to be progressing to the client's satisfaction until a client points out to the instructor that it is not and details the differences between the pre-agreed course content and the content actually being delivered. If appropriate, the instructor may vary the content from that point on in line with requests, as long as all delegates agree and it is reasonable to expect the instructor to do so.
