CONDITIONS OF ATTENDANCE

The training is for you, so you can confidently deliver the therapy ideas yourself. You can not use it to train others to deliver the therapy.

The materials and content are the property of the Michael Palin Centre. You MUST NOT:

– video or audio record any of the training.

– share the handouts and resources with colleagues. They are for paying attendees only. This also includes any attempts to rewrite or present the content in an alternative form.

– translate handouts into your own language for anything other than personal use. If you wish to discuss translation of our materials, please contact us at [email protected] – there are specific processes that need to be followed for materials to be translated.

– provide any of this training to others.

Confidentiality

All workshops include client material (i.e. photos, videos, written case summaries) that has been consented to for use in training.

We do not allow taking photos of slides with pictures of clients, or making video recording of client videos.

Please feel free to post on social media about your experience of training with us but do not post any client-related content.

Handouts

We will send you handouts and the Zoom registration information for online courses two weeks in advance of the course start date.

We hope that you will enjoy sharing your experience of training with us with your colleagues. Please do not distribute handouts either in hard copy, electronically or on social media.

Attendance certificate

We provide attendance certificates within 2 weeks of course completion. To qualify for a certificate you need to attend the full course.

Who can attend

Most of our training workshops are for qualified speech and language therapists. Some of our courses e.g. ‘Building Confidence and Resilience’, ‘Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP)’ and ‘Solution Focused Brief Therapy’ workshops are open to all other professionals. Palin PCI course is open to student SLTs close to qualification. We are happy to guide you with course selection, please contact us.

Our courses and resources are in English, with the exception of translated courses. As participants will actively engage in spoken exercises, a good understanding and use of the English language is required.

Cancelling your booking

There is a one month cancellation requirement for all of our courses. If you cancel more than one month beforehand you can transfer to another course or receive a refund. Please note when you are issued a refund for a cancellation, you may be charged a small fee which is taken by the card company that processes the payment. Unfortunately, this means you won’t receive the full amount you paid.

If you cancel within one month of the course we can sometimes accommodate your booking on another course. If this is not possible you will be charged the full fee.

If we need to cancel or re-schedule a course

We need a minimum of approximately 15 participants to confirm a course. If we need to postpone or cancel a course we will let you know one month beforehand. We will ask you to confirm receipt of confirmation of a change to a course and to confirm if you would like to attend the new dates, transfer to another course or receive a refund.
