COURSE ATTENDANCE:
One Day courses - Students must attend the entire day of the booked course.
Two Day courses - Students must attend both days of the booked course. Students cannot do Day 2 on another course or on a different day for ANY reason. Those who do not attend Day 2 will not be transferred or refunded.

If you have any condition that might interfere with you fully participating in any courses, please contact the office prior to enrolling. Such conditions include: pregnancy, high blood pressure, dermatitis, epilepsy, contagious conditions, diabetes and asthma. Classes are conducted with even numbers so students can work in pairs. Failure to fully participate disrupts the class and is unfair on other students.
Once enrolled, if you are unable to attend, your course fee will not be refunded or transferred to another course.

VENUES- All courses that are listed with dates on this website are held at our Training School in Chelmsford unless otherwise stated. If there are less than 5 students enrolled on a course that is due to be held at Chelmsford venue, then the venue may be changed to the Radley Green Training Room, CM4 0LU, (10mins Chelmsford). If this is the case, then students will be notified within 2 weeks of the course date, giving you time to organise your travel arrangements. n.b. There are no buses from Chelmsford to Radley Green.

WITHDRAWAL OF A STUDENT

- Andrea is unable to accept students as personal clients, but is happy to recommend alternative Therapists.
- Male students wishing to attend any introductory courses except the Anatomy course will be asked to bring a partner to work on during the day.
- In the rare instance that your course has to be cancelled or re-scheduled, where a refund is due to a participant, a full refund cheque will be sent within seven days.
- Students will be expected to respect each others modesty at all times with correct towel draping as the Aromatic Swedish/Sports Massage courses requires the student being massaged to remove all clothing except underwear. Once on the couch students are covered with towels and only the part being massaged will be uncovered.

THERAPY TUTORS
Unfortunately, once again, I have had a 'student' enrol on a course under the pretence that they want to learn, yet they have actually taken advantage of my help and advice to enable them to teach the courses themselves. If I find that my integrity is challenged by unethical students, I will of course take the necessary action. If tutors fail to declare their status on the enrolment form, they will be denied access to the course. It is expected that Professional Ethics are adhered to and that no A Bond Therapies Training course methods/material will be used/duplicated and the copyrights to her courses are upheld.
Please note that all course descriptions and contents are strictly copyright A Bond Therapies Training.

PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS
One Day courses- Your tutor will evaluate your professionalism, attitude and competence throughout the day. Provided the tutor is satisfied that you are able to perform the massage safely and to the accepted standard, you will be issued the course Certificate on the day. In the event that you do not attain the required standard, you will be invited to return at a later date to demonstrate your massage techniques after practicing at home. You will then need to provide a ‘partner’ to demonstrate on this occasion. If the tutor is satisfied that sufficient improvement has been made, you will be issued with your Certificate.
