  • If withdrawal of the applicant is less than 3 days before the training or the applicant does not attend the training, the fees paid for attendance forfeited or remain due and payable.

Applicant requirements

  • Applicants must be proficient in English speaking and writing skills to enrol in all courses and workshops.

  • Applicants must arrive on time for all sessions. Late arrival may mean that the applicant is excluded for that session. For Safe Environments Training courses, exclusion because of late arrival may invoke a course provision cost to be invoiced to the applicant's school.
  • Children must not be brought to sessions or be present during online sessions.

Training Completion

  • Applicants must attend the full duration of courses or workshops in order to be marked as attending.

  • Where pre-event reading or pre-event course work have not been completed prior to the event, the applicant may be precluded from the event.
  • To graduate from some courses or workshops, applicants may be required to complete and submit an assignment which may also need to meet minimum requirements and standards stipulated by CLSSA.
  • If applicants have personal responsibilities (e.g. prayer or medical responsibilities), these should be negotiated with the course presenter to the presenter’s satisfaction. Failure to do so may mean that the applicant will need to repeat content at a subsequent session of the course. On occasions, this may not be possible - i.e. Safe Environments Training or First Aid Courses.
  • Once the requirements for a course or workshop have been met, CLSSA will provide written confirmation of that either as a certificate or through the CLSSA website.

Multi-Session Courses and Workshops

  • For multi-session courses and workshops, applicants will be required to re-attend missed sessions in order to satisfy the requirements of the course or workshop.
