If there are not sufficient bookings four weeks in advance of a workshop, the tutor may decide to cancel it. Some tutors run workshops with lower numbers, but this is at their discretion. Availability can be checked below but a place cannot be guarunteed until your booking form and payment are received. If a workshop is cancelled by a tutor then a full refund is made to the participant.

Joining instructions:

These will be emailed out to all participants in advance of the workshop so please make sure you print your email address clearly on the booking form. Directions, along with start and finish times, will be included in the joining instructions.

Lunch:

Please bring a packed lunch with you. Tea and coffee will be provided for most classroom based sessions but please bring a drink for the field sessions.

Field visits:

To keep costs down, participants are asked to share vehicles when travelling to and/or between field sites.

Cancellation Policy:

In the event of cancellation, a 50% refund will be issued up to one month before the workshop. An 80% refund will be issued for cancellations two calendar months or more before the workshop. All cancellations must be received in writing. No refunds will be made for cancellations made within one month of the appropriate event. Substitutes can be made at any time. The IEEM reserves the right to alter or cancel any of the courses for whatever reason.

Where a course is cancelled by IEEM, those enrolled will receive a full refund of the course fee.
