The client is solely responsible for ensuring all relevant insurance policies are in place and current for any services taking place at the client’s site. Any equipment owned by or hired to the client for use by candidates and/or CMT instructors must be in a safe working condition and fit for purpose.

8. Late Arrival
CMT instructors will endeavour to accommodate candidates who are slightly late for course start times for genuine reasons. If, in the opinion of the instructor, the late candidate has not missed much of the course and can make this up during the day, the candidate will be allowed to join the course. If, in the opinion of the instructor, the candidate is not able to make up the missed work, they will not be allowed to join the course and cancellation fees will apply.
Candidates that arrive late to their CPCS theory and/or practical test will not be allowed to complete their testing in line with the CPCS Scheme Rules. CPCS testing times will be provided to the client via email prior to the start date of the booking.

9. Training Pre-Requisites
Failure of any element of a course or test that is a prerequisite for subsequent elements will result in part or all of the booking being charged in full. Additionally, failure to supply any prerequisite documents or comply with other requirements prior to the commencement of the course or test will result in part or all of the booking being cancelled and charged in full.

10. Delegate Information
For training courses involving elements of a practical nature, candidates are required to provide their own Personal Protective Equipment (in clean and working order) as detailed on the Joining Instructions issued. Additionally, candidates must be physically fit to withstand the rigours of training. The onus is entirely on the candidate to ensure their fitness and suitability to undergo training and CMT cannot and will not accept any responsibility in this regard. Consumption of any alcohol or illegal substances is not permitted before or during any CMT courses or testing. If there is any evidence of such, instructors are obliged to refuse to train/test the candidate.
Equipment must not be removed from the training environment. Any damage caused by wilful misuse or negligence will be invoiced to The Client.
For booking of any CPCS course or technical test the client is responsible for the candidate having achieved a valid Health and Safety Touch Screen Test. CPCS tests cannot be completed without the candidate having a valid CSCS Health, Safety and Environment Test. To be classed as valid under the rules of the CPCS scheme the CSCS Touch Screen Test must have been passed within 2 years of the CPCS test date. For example, if the candidate passed the test over 4 years ago, the Touch Screen Test must be taken again before completing a new CPCS test.

Clients are required to make up an initial payment of 50% of each NVQ category before the booking can be processed.

Upon completion of the NVQ, the customer will be charged the remaining 50% balance.
If the candidate is not present at the confirmed location at the agreed date and time of NVQ Assessment visit, CMT reserve the right to charge the customer £250.00 as a No Show fee.
For booking of any National Vocational Qualifications the client is responsible for the candidate having achieved a valid Health and Safety Touch Screen Test.
