Terms & Conditions

Forest School Courses with Green Light Trust

Booking your place on a Green Light Trust course
To apply for a place on one of our courses, please complete the application form for that course and return it to us by email () or post to the Green Light office, along with your deposit and signed terms and conditions form. Upon receipt of your application form, we aim to send you confirmation or otherwise of your place on that course within two weeks. We will also send an invoice for the course fee in the event of a successful application. Applications for courses will close two weeks prior to their start date.

Cancellation/Substitution
You may substitute or be replaced by a student on a course upon prior notification, at no additional charge, subject to the new student meeting the prerequisite requirements.
If you decide not to come on the course, you must let us know one month prior to its start in order for us to attempt to seek to fill your place. If you let us know later than two weeks before the start of the course the full invoice amount will still be payable.
We reserve the right to cancel or change a scheduled course and undertake to use reasonable endeavors to give notice of any such cancellation or change. We will not be liable for any losses direct or otherwise if we have to cancel a booking. We will offer alternative date(s) subject to availability or refund the full charge of the cancelled booking.

Attendance & coursework completion

You must attend the first day of the course. Any subsequent day missed of the course must be attended on the next available GLT course, and should be booked within one month of the day missed. Assignments must be completed and handed in by the relevant deadline. Extensions can only be accepted if approved in writing by a GLT tutor. Continued referral of coursework may result in our consideration of a student’s continuation on a course after discussion. If the final assignment is not handed in by the agreed deadline or extension date approved by the tutor, you will be de-registered for the qualification. In order to be re-registered on the course, any outstanding coursework will need to be submitted and passed. You will need to apply to GLT within two years of the start date of your original course. Re-registration can only take place on two occasions.

Photographs & Course work
GLT keeps a digital photographic archive for recording and publicity purposes. It is also required to keep samples of work on file. Unless you indicate otherwise, by signing your application form you give consent to Green Light Trust using photographs and coursework for publicity purposes (including publication on the internet).

Payment
A non-refundable deposit of £50 must be made in full with all training applications, along with signed terms and conditions. The invoice issued for your course must be paid in full prior to the start of the course. If you have booked on the course within the two weeks of its start date (for instance to fill in a cancelled booking) we must still receive your payment prior to the start date. Where payment is not received prior to the start of the course the booking will be cancelled, however, payment will still need to be made in full.

By prior agreement, following payment of the deposit, the remaining balance can be paid in monthly instalments but must be paid in full within four months of the course commencing. Certification will not be issued until full payment has been received.
