RATES

There are three different rates for course fees:

Rate A - Public / private sector

Rate B - Voluntary sector groups / individuals (non-members), Associate Members

Rate C - PAVS FULL members

Unfortunately due to the high number of late cancellations we are receiving we have had to introduce a stricter booking system. We can no longer accept bookings over the telephone.

Please Note:

We reserve the right to charge a late cancellation administration fee of up to £40 for non-attendance on a PAVS course. This is due to a number of participants dropping out at the last minute or not turning up on the day, which affects course viability. If you are not able to attend please send an alternate in your place, or let us know you wish to cancel the place in writing, at least 2 weeks before the start of the course.
