How do I pay
The Defence CIDA Installation Design Course is provided by The Defence CIDA in partnership with Atkins.
The Course fee is dependant on the date of attendance - please consult the Course Application form for fees.
Conditions of Application and Cancellation Policy
You are advised to contact the course administrator to confirm course dates and availability of places. The course is extremely popular, and there is usually a waiting list of several months.
You may provisionally "reserve" a place on the course by agreement with the course administrator, but this place is not guaranteed until either:
- payment is received by cheque or BACS;
- a formal order is received;
- or a letter of authority is received.
Whichever payment method is chosen, it must be actioned at least eight weeks prior to the start date of the course, or your "reserved" seat may be offered to another candidate.
If any applicant needs to cancel their place on a course after payment, an order or a letter of authority has been received, the following policy will be applied:
- If payment from a replacement candidate is not available, the original applicant will forfeit the entire fee.
- If a replacement candidate is found and payment is received, the original applicant will be offered a place on a later course subject to availability.
- If a suitable course cannot be identified, and payment from a replacement candidate has been received, a refund will be made. This refund will be subject to a 20% administration charge for the course fee, any standards purchased will be forwarded to the cancelling individual and charged for in full.
