Some Electacourse products include City & Guilds exams. The City & Guild exam needs to be taken within 12 months of the date of your purchase of this product, after this period Electacourse are not obliged to provide the exam.
Electacourse will no longer be obliged to provide the exam if within 12 months of purchase, the following conditions apply:
Electacourse act as an agent for accredited examinations centres. Electacourse makes exam bookings for our customers at an accredited examination centre on receipt of a correctly completed the exam registration form which is made available to customers who have purchased a product which includes a City & Guilds exam.
Once you have submitted the exam registration form and we have confirmed the date you requested, you need to attend the exam on that date. If we have not been able to get the date requested on your form and we have subsequently communicated with you and you have agreed to an alternative date which we have then booked, you need to attend on that date. Once booked, your exam booking cannot be transferred to another centre.
If you inform us prior to the scheduled exam date of your intention to not attend, we can reschedule the exam at your request at the same centre for another date within 28 days at no charge. We cannot guarantee the centre will have availability within 28 days (it is unlikely our partner centres which are categorised as Other Centres, will have availability within 28 days). If you cannot attend within the 28 days or the centre does not have availability, and you want Electacourse to make an exam booking on your behalf, you will need to repurchase the exam booking.
By use of the Electacourse exam booking service, customers agree Electacourse has no liability related to customer’s attendance at accredited examation centres.
