Sunflower Effect Professional Training Terms and Conditions

1.             Introduction

1.1           These terms and conditions apply specifically to all the Sunflower Effect Professional Training Programmes. Please be aware of a different set of terms and conditions for the Sunflower Effect Confidence Courses aimed at participants of those courses.

1.2        Please read these terms and conditions that relate to the Sunflower Effect Professional Training Services carefully before booking a place on one of the training programmes. By registering for any of the Sunflower Effect Professional Training Programmes or related services on this site, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions. If you are not willing to be bound by these terms and conditions please do not register for the training programme.

1.3           The nature and scope of the training services to be provided by Claire Schrader are set out in detail in the specific description of the training course or services described on this (Making Moves) website.

1.4          All training programmes and events will be held in English.

2.             Prerequisites for attendance

2.1         The Sunflower Effect Professional Training Programmes are not suitable for individuals under the age of 25. This is because we believe you need more life experience to deliver the Sunflower Effect Confidence Courses. Please book an interview with Claire Schrader if you are under 25 and wish to train. There will be a charge for this £60. It will be at her discretion as to whether she will accept you on the programme. You may not purchase any services from our site if you are below the age of 18 years old because, under this age, you do not have the legal capacity to enter into a contract.

2.2          You need to have a relevant background, training and/or experience before you apply to join the Foundation Training Programme. This includes dramatherapist,  other arts therapist, performer, drama teacher, psychological therapist, coach, counsellor, occupational therapist, or related professional. Please get in touch if you don’t fit these criteria and wish to train, request an interview with Claire Schrader (as in 2.1). If you are new to the Sunflower Effect or dramatherapy, we recommend participating in the Sunflower Effect Courses so you are familiar with the ethos and approach.

2.3         You need to have some understanding of what it is like to be shy, self-conscious and lacking in confidence and feel highly motivated to help people with confidence issues. Claire Schrader especially welcomes applicants who have participated in the Sunflower Effect Courses or who have experienced the power of drama to change lives. 

2.4         You need to have attended either a Q&A or the Introductory Training Workshop before being accepted on the Foundation Training Programme. The Introductory Training Workshop is highly recommended if you intend to offer the Sunflower Effect Courses to paying participants and is required for licensing. If you are unable to attend the Introductory Training before the programme starts, you can make it up afterwards.

2.5         Claire Schrader reserves the right not to accept you on the Foundation Training Programme if she believes that the programme is not suitable for you. She may recommend you attend an interview (as in 2.1) to discuss your application.     

3.          Payment

3.1      When you express your intention to register for a training programme or any of the other services Claire Schrader provides, you will receive an email containing details of how you register for the training either online or offline. Please read the information carefully and be sure you understand it fully. 

3.2 The total price payable for the Sunflower Effect Professional Training Courses is specified on the Making Moves website or in the Course Information Pack or in your booking email or other email correspondence you may have received.

3.3      In order to secure your place, a non-refundable deposit is required. You also may pay in full.  There are a limited number of places on each training course, so it is advisable to book your place as soon as you can. The deposit is, in all cases, non-refundable. See the relevant training course or workshop information on the Making Moves website or in your booking email. Please be aware that if you pay through our booking system there is 1.7% booking fee. There is no booking fee if you pay by electronic bank transfer.

3.4        Your registration will be acknowledged in writing via e-mail after registration, provided that all necessary information is complete and the deposit (as a minimum) has been received. The acknowledgement contains details on the training programme, the venue for the training and other relevant information.

3.5 If you have paid the non-refundable deposit, then the balance of your course fees is due 14 days before the course starts unless you have opted to pay for the balance in instalments.

3.6         If you choose to pay for the balance of the Foundation Training in monthly instalments, the non-refundable deposit is payable on registration for the Programme.  Then your first monthly instalment is payable two months in advance of the commencement of the programme through our booking system. You may pay by credit or debit card through our online booking system. This includes a 1.7% booking fee to cover card payment fees which will not be refunded (if you are eligible for a refund). 

3.7      If you choose to pay by instalments, it is your responsibility to ensure that your instalments have been paid and to take action if there is an issue. Without prejudice to any other right or remedy that we may have, if any sum payable under these terms is not paid within 7 days of the date due we reserve the right to (i) charge interest from the date due for payment to the actual date of payment at the rate of 3% above the base rate of Santander Bank from time to time in force and/or (ii) suspend the availability of the Programme until such time as payment is made or the Contract is terminated. We would prefer not to resort to this action, so please contact Claire Schrader at the earliest opportunity if your circumstances change so as to resolve any issue or to make a new arrangement.

3.8      Please be aware that you commit to paying for the full training programme (even if you decide or have to leave the course, and even if you are paying in instalments.)  All missed training days and online sessions must be paid for.  If you need to leave the course or miss a number of training sessions, you will have the option to join the next training programme and attend the sessions you have missed (for a reduced supplementary fee).

3.9     You shall be responsible for all travel, accommodation and other subsistence costs and all other expenses incurred by you in connection with your participation in the programme.

3.11         Despite our best efforts, there may be incorrect prices on some of the services or products. If the correct price is less than the price shown on our site, the lower amount will be charged. If the correct price is higher than the price specified on our site, we will inform you of this and ask whether you wish to continue with the order at the actual higher price. If the error in price is obvious, unmistakeable and mispricing could have been recognised reasonably by you, we will not be liable to provide the services or products to you at the lower price that was incorrect.

3.12            If there is any conflict between these Terms and any term of the order (the registration details), the order will take priority.
