The applicant may make only one change of date.

Latecomers may be requested to wait until a suitable break in teaching before entering a class. Class hours can be varied at the discretion of the CPBA’s Head of Academy without prior notice.
Paying for and/or attending a course fully does not guarantee a qualification, diploma or certificate of achievement. Awards of achievement are gained by the successful fulfilment of the criteria set out by the various awarding bodies. The decision of the Head of Academy is final in all cases.
Time off for official religious holidays, booked holidays, planned weddings, medical appointments etc. must be discussed and agreed before application. We recommend that all absence be avoided where possible.

All course contents, their elements and fees are subject to change without any prior notice to students at the discretion of CPBA.
Students failing to complete their assessments, including after provision of additional assistance, during the term of their course will be charged by the hour for any further teaching/supervision/assessing. These sessions will be at the convenience of CPBA. Check with the Administration department for the current rates.

Disciplinary
