What if I don’t know the exact number of students when I register?
When registering a number of students for the event, we recommend allowing a 10% attrition for student absences on event day. Unfortunately, due to the limited number of spaces, we cannot refund for absences after registration. However, all students registered that are absent on event day will still receive their online certification link. Numbers may be increased up to 2 weeks before the field trip but cannot be guaranteed. Additions will be invoiced separately.
How will my invoice be processed?
Invoices will be issued within 48 hours of registration and are due 30 days from invoice. Please see details listed on your invoice.
How will you ensure that my students are engaged in the experiences?
Our industry influencer speakers are known for the high engagement quality of their talks. With several facilitators supporting interaction in the room, we are confident your students will be engaged and participate in our mixed media and diverse learning techniques. They will be actively involved in various games, activities and exercises, providing different avenues for learning. Physicality is always part of the day.
