Training

By paying for a course you agree to the terms and conditions below.

COURSES: Whilst some courses are run by members of DASH (and are longstanding, tried and tested) others are purely advertised on the DASH webpage, as it is felt they may be of interest to members. If you attend any of these advertised courses and they fall below your expectations, please contact us and we will look to remove them from the page. Courses advertised on the website, which have their own booking system, may well have their own T’s and C’s which you should make yourself familiar with.

Please note - For courses provided through DASH, DASH is acting as a booking agent on behalf of the course providers.

Please read the following Terms and Conditions which apply to all courses booked through DASH: The courses offered take a considerable amount of time and effort for the tutors to put on – all of this is done alongside their “day jobs”. For this reason, there is often a minimum number of attendees required for the course to run. Booking sooner rather than later will enable us all to gauge at an early stage whether the course is likely to run or not – making life easier and less stressful for everyone involved – yourselves included!

Insurance cover is provided by each tutor/course provider at the level they have deemed appropriate. If you have any queries regarding a particular aspect of insurance, we will forward your query to the tutor.

DASH courses are only available to adults age 18 and older.

Following an expression of interest in a course – To ensure a place is reserved, course payment needs to be made in advance, in full, to the account details sent. We will acknowledge that your place is confirmed once payment has been received. An email receipt can be sent if requested/required. Bookings are taken on a “first come, first served” basis. If the course is full, you will be informed and placed on a “waiting list”. If there is another date scheduled, you will also be offered that as an alternative. You will be emailed shortly before the course date - as a reminder and with any other information/directions required.

Cancellations – Cancellations received within 2 weeks of the course date will be refunded 50% of the course fee received. We are unable to refund cancellations received after this date or for “no shows”. Very occasionally a course must be cancelled/re-arranged due to unforeseen circumstances or if there are insufficient numbers to make running the course a viable option – if this is the case then a full refund will be offered or an alternative date. Your details will be held in confidence by DASH and will not be passed on to any third parties.

We have a busy calendar of courses ahead so please make a note of any you are interested in and if you wish to register your interest/book a place, contact me at training@devonsmallholders.co.uk

If no date is listed below please email training@devonsmallholders.co.uk to be put on a waiting list.

Chainsaw training will not be available through DASH as the occasional user course that we ran in the past is no longer certified by NPTC.
