Why does Fleet Source charge for cancellation and failure to attend?

Fleet Source recognises that on occasion, Delegates will be booked onto courses and subsequently find that they are unable to attend a course for some reason. If you notify us and your Cancellation Notice Period is more than 21 days, we will provide a full refund, no questions asked. For example, if your course was running on the 23rd of the month, you would need to notify us of cancellation on the 1st of the month to avoid any charges. You can also, at any point, up to and including the day of training, change attendee details for the Booking (e.g. change driver name) without any charge.

If a Booking is cancelled with a Cancellation Notice Period of less than 21 days notification or a you Fail to Attend, charges are payable. Our reasons for this are:

Our training events often book out quickly and many companies require planning weeks in advance to organise training. We think that it is only fair to give Delegates who do want to attend adequate time to arrange their availability.

Each of our courses have resources tied to them (e.g. venue, theory trainer, or cycle trainer for some courses), and we rely on course attendance to cover these costs.

The Funded Courses are offered free of charge (excluding Additional Charges) however Fleet Source has a Service Level Agreement to receive this funding so if a minimum attendance is not achieved, we incur a fee and future funding may be affected.

The Funded Courses that we offer have public money invested for the purpose of creating safer roads. Eligibility for this funding relies on delegates meeting our cancellation policy, to ensure that this money is being used effectively.

Cancellation charges

The following Cancellation Charges will apply for any Booking that is cancelled with a Cancellation Notice Period of less than 21 days notification, or it’s a Failure to Attend: –

Public Commercial Course: Attendance Charge and Additional Charge (if applicable). If payment was made at the time of Booking this will be taken as payment in full and not be refunded.

Funded Course: Attendance Charge and Additional Charge (if applicable).

Cancellation of a course or event by Fleet Source

Fleet Source is committed to offering high quality training events that meet the needs of Delegates and will always aim to run events once Delegates have booked onto them. Occasionally circumstances will arise which result in the need to cancel an event and in these circumstances, we will take active and positive steps to inform Delegate as soon as possible by phone and/or email.

Fleet Source reserves the right to modify or cancel any event if unforeseen circumstances arise, but we will do our utmost to avoid doing so. Where Fleet Source cancels an event that you have paid to attend, we will offer you a full refund or a credit transfer for a future training event. Full advice on refunds/credits will be provided at the time of cancellation.

Certificates

When registering for training, a Delegate must verify their name and company with the trainer and sign a course register. This name and spelling will be on the Delegates certificate. Incorrect certificates will be replaced up to 90 days from the course date, thereafter an administration fee of £6.00 will be charged.
