Terms and Conditions for In Person Training

Booking your course:

To register for one or more of the BDA’s online eLearning modules, and or to attend an ‘in person’ training course, we kindly request that each prospective delegate complete this online booking request. Following your online booking, you will receive an automated confirmation that your booking has been forwarded to the BDA training department for processing.

Supplimentary information for ‘In person’ training

Course notes and associated handouts are supplied through the BDA eLearning portal. (please refer to the associated notes on how to access the BDA eLearning site)

Approximately 1 week prior to the ‘in person’ training event, the candidate will be granted access to the associated course notes and handouts (so that the candidate can review, download and or *print off any associated notes for their upcoming course). Please note: the BDA does not provide a hardcopy of any handouts for those attending ‘in person' training.
