Suzanne Cromie Tutor with Gateway Workshops

1. It is the course applicant’s responsibility, having

 referred to relevant sources of course information, to ensure that the course is suitable for their requirements. Suzanne Cromie is happy to provide advice but accepts no liability in the event that the content of the course or any changes to the course timetables, structure or contents where necessary does not meet individual requirements.

2. Once an application and a deposit has been received to secure a place on the students chosen course and a place allocated by Gateway Workshops, the applicant will be subject to and in agreement with all conditions as set out herein by Gateway Workshops (whose booking conditions are laid out at the bottom of the initial confirmation email) and Suzanne Cromie.

3. Acceptance: In accordance with common practice of educational establishments, reasons for denying admission will not be discussed with the applicant. The decision of the College is final and is not subject to appeal.


4. Student Numbers: A minimum of two students are required for any course date to ensure the course will go ahead.  If you are the only student booked onto a date and you can bring a practice partner with you we can often still go ahead with the course (may be subject to a change in training location to allow the course to run). 

5 The balance of the course fees will be invoiced 28 days prior to the scheduled start date, and is payable in full no later than 21 days prior to training starting.  Under no circumstances can the balance be paid at a later date. 

6. Course Attendance: One Day courses - Students must attend the entire day of the booked course, classes run from 10.30-4.30 weekdays and 11.00-5.00 weekends for beginners courses, (sometimes longer for advanced courses 10am-5.30pm weekdays and 10-5pm weekends) we may finish slightly later, so please allow extra time when planning your journey home as Suzanne Cromie cannot be held responsible for any missed travel arrangements.

7. Students will be expected to respect each others modesty at all times with correct towel draping as the Hot Stone/Thai Herbal Compress and other Advanced Massage courses require the student being massaged to remove all clothing except underwear. Once on the couch students are covered with towels and only the part being massaged will be uncovered. Please note that Men and Women attend our training courses excluding the waxing courses. 

8. Course fees include practical tuition, training materials- towels, use of blankets, creams/oils, resources and self/ home study material appropriate to the training course undertaken. Tea/ coffee will also be provided (lunch is not provided). Any other facilities, resources or additional training supplied by Suzanne Cromie, at the request of the student, which has not been expressly stated to be included in the fees paid, will be charged at an additional cost. Some courses have DVD’s and kit's available at an additional cost to the student.

9. It is acknowledged that all intellectual property rights, including copyright, patents, design rights and know-how in or relating to the course or course materials provided or made available in connection with the course, remain the sole property of Helen Kenyon of Holistic Training Courses and Gateway Workshops. No copies of course materials or any usage of or reference to Helen Kenyon of Holistic Training Courses and Gateway Workshops name may be made unless it has been agreed in writing by Helen Kenyon of Holistic Training Courses and Gateway Workshops.

10. Practitioners Diploma Certificate:  Certificates are only given once students have shown that they have absorbed the information presented during the day and after demonstrating a satisfactory treatment observed by the tutor.

To ensure that we act responsibly and carry out good practice, should the tutor feel that you would benefit from further training, certification may/will be held back and you will offered the opportunity/be asked to attend the next available course that has a space, (this is offered free of charge).

With-holding a certificate is rare, but we would not be acting responsibly if a student were given certification, when the tutor felt they were unsafe in any way, the standard achieved must be high enough to enable the tutor issue you with a certificate. With small classes it is easy to absorb the techniques you are taught. There are no exams to sit for our one day courses only a practical assessment (excluding Indian Head Massage course, if you are an FT member (only) they will require case studies).
