Last updated: June 2, 2024

Please read these Terms and Conditions carefully. All contracts that the Provider may enter into from time to time for the provision of the educational and training services of the Provider shall be governed by these Terms and Conditions, and the Provider will ask for the express agreement of the Client to these Terms and Conditions before providing any such services to the Client.

In these Terms and Conditions, words and phrases with special meanings are indicated by initial capital letters. Details of those words and phrases are set out in Section 21 of the main body of these Terms and Conditions.

1. Order Process

1.1 The advertising of the Services on the website of the Provider and through any Third Party Services constitutes an "invitation to treat" rather than a contractual offer.

1.3 To enter into a contract of for the supply of the Services, the following steps must be taken: (1) For online services, orders can be booked via the website www.oskrae.com/book-online. This will redirect to a landing page where a full overview of the course content can be found. To get started click the "Begin Your Journey" button and proceed to create a learning account. The online course offering is hosted by a third party site named Thinkific. See the Privacy Policy for more details. Full payment and acceptance of Terms and Conditions will constitute an agreement between the client and the provider; (2) Zoom and Face-to-Face courses can be booked via the website at www.oskrae.com. We ask that the pretravel questionnaire which can be found at www.oskrae.com/questionnaire be submitted prior to any confirmed delivery date for both Zoom and Face-to-Face.
