*Please note: Most courses are booked on a first-come-first-served basis. Places on courses will be confirmed by email if you have a ‘@bristol.ac.uk’ address, or by letter, if not.
You are allowed to attend up to a maximum of six courses per six-month period. The periods are August to January and February to July each year.
Please note: If you send in more than six booking requests for each six month period, you will only be enrolled on the first six available courses. The other booking(s) requested will be discarded.
We require 3 working-days notice to confirm course bookings and aim to confirm all places within one week of receiving your application. If you have not heard from us after a week, or you wish to make further enquiries about your booking(s), please Tel: 0117 33 16752 or Email: sd-course@bristol.ac.uk
There is no booking fee for courses, however, please note our fees for late cancellation and non-attendance fees below.
A non-attendance fee will be charged to your department if:
The late cancellation/non-attendance fee is £50 per course and will automatically be deducted from your department's budget. This fee goes towards covering our administrative, catering and tutor costs.
If you need to cancel your place on a course, you must let us know by Email: sd-course@bristol.ac.uk at least five complete working days prior to the start time of the course. Course cancellations must be submitted by email; we will not accept cancellations over the phone. If you are unable to cancel your place on a course directly with us, please ask someone to cancel your place for you. This will ensure that you are not charged a late cancellation fee.
In order to ensure a fair system, please do not send someone to a course in your place, as there may be others waiting to attend in the event of a cancellation.
We aim to make our learning and development opportunities accessible to all staff. Please let us know if you require any reasonable adjustments to enable access, for example:
