This secures a confirmed place for Inscience account holders; however, non-account holders (Cash sale invoice) will only have a confirmed place secured on a scheduled course when proof of payment in full is received. Cancellation of confirmed placement within 2 weeks of a course date will be subject to a cancellation fee based on the proximity of the cancellation to the training date (up to 80% of the training fee).
