CANCEL or CHANGE A BOOKING?

If you cancel or amend a booking;
DMTC AB will make an immediate full charge of all course fees under any of the following circumstances:

• Non-attendance for any reason of a delegate on a course or part thereof.
• Cancellation of the booking within 14 calendar days of the start date for the course.
• Cancellation of the booking within 14 calendar days of the start of the course and concurrent re-booking for the same delegate on an agreed alternative date within three months of the original course start date. In such rescheduled cases in addition to the original course fee the subsequent course will be chargeable at 50% of the course fee prevailing at the time of the second course and no further changes of course date or name of delegate on the booking will be permitted.

If we cancel the course;
In the event that DMTC AB cancel a course for whatever reason, it will not be cancelled less than 2 weeks from the published start date.

All fees already paid for delegates on cancelled courses shall be refunded in full.

A revised start date will be offered as soon as possible.

No compensation for any costs incurred will be payable to the delegate.

VALUE ADDED TAX apply
Swedish tax law states that VAT will be added automatically to the final invoice total at the rate prevailing on the last day of the course in question.

Bookings from non-Swedish companies whose HQ country is within the European Union AND which is registered in that country for VAT, can send a legitimate VAT number to DMTC AB at the time of booking. With this evidence Swedish VAT will not be applied to the invoice.

Normally, the course fee must be paid before the start of the course

PRIVATE DELEGATES
Private delegates are required to pay all Course fees in full at the time of booking. Joining Instructions and course details will not be issued until this payment is made.

If the fees fail to clear for any reason and no other arrangement is made with DMTC AB immediately it is known, the booking will be cancelled and the place offered elsewhere.

When delegates, by prior arrangement, are on Standby, full payment is required at the time of confirmation of attendance by DMTC AB. Please note that credit is not granted to private delegates or individuals under any circumstances.

CERTIFICATE
Certificates are issued to all delegates attending and completing training courses satisfactorily.

Regarding the STCW certificate, reporting to the Swedish Transport Agency takes place after the course has been completed and approved.
