SWBM Academy complies with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and acknowledges that time-specific services such as training and examination events are exempt from statutory cancellation rights.

other (otherwise than under any express indemnity in this Agreement) if and to the extent that it is prevented from carrying out those obligations by, or such losses or damages are caused by, a Force Majeure Event except to the extent that the relevant breach of its obligations would have occurred, or the relevant losses or damages would have arisen, even if the Force Majeure Event had not occurred (in which case this Clause 20 shall not apply to that extent).
(2) As soon as reasonably practicable following the date of commencement of a Force Majeure Event, and within a reasonable time following the date of termination of a Force Majeure Event, any Party invoking it shall submit to the other Party reasonable proof of the nature of the Force Majeure Event and of its effect upon the performance of the Party's obligations under this Agreement.
(3) The Company shall, and shall procure that its Subcontractors/Customers shall, at all times take all reasonable steps within their respective powers and consistent with Good Operating Practices (but without incurring unreasonable additional costs) to:

6:4 Except in relation to death or personal injury caused by our negligence, SWBM ACADEMY’s liability remains, at all times, limited to the value of the services booked, excluding any amendment charges paid to us.
6.5 Exclusion of Consequential Loss
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SWBM ACADEMY shall not be liable for any indirect, special, or consequential loss suffered by learners. This includes (but is not limited to) loss of earnings, inability to obtain or renew an SIA licence, missed job opportunities, business interruption, reputational harm, or any other loss resulting from delayed certification, suspension of centre activity, or awarding body decisions.
Learners agree that certification responsibility lies with the awarding organisation and acknowledge that SWBM ACADEMY does not guarantee any specific timeframe for results or outcomes.
6.6 SWBM ACADEMY accepts no responsibility if delays in certification due to external or regulatory factors result in loss of job opportunity, contract cancellation, or expiry of a Security Industry Authority (SIA) licence.
6.7 While every effort is made to ensure accuracy, SWBM ACADEMY shall not be liable for minor administrative errors that do not materially affect course delivery, certification, or learner progression. Any genuine mistake will be rectified within a reasonable timeframe.
6.8 Awarding Body Decisions & Investigations
a. SWBM Academy delivers training in accordance with the standards and qualifications set by external awarding bodies (e.g. Highfield Qualifications). While we facilitate the training and assessment process, final certification, exam result release, and compliance are subject to the policies and decisions of the awarding body.
b. SWBM Academy is not liable for any delay, refusal, investigation, or revocation of certification arising from decisions made by the awarding body. In the event that an awarding body withholds or voids a learner’s results or suspends accreditation, learners acknowledge that such outcomes are beyond the control of SWBM Academy, and no liability shall be assumed for the consequences thereof.
c. Refunds will only be issued at the discretion of SWBM Academy and in line with the refund policy. Learners whose results are withheld by the awarding body will not automatically qualify for a refund unless a formal written decision is made by SWBM Academy management.
6.9 Investigations & Irregularities
a. Learners understand and accept that awarding organisations may initiate investigations into examinations, assessments, or administrative processes, which may lead to the suspension, cancellation, or non-release of results. In such cases, SWBM Academy cannot interfere with, influence, or expedite these investigations, and bears no liability for any inconvenience, financial loss, or delay caused.
b. Learners further agree that any awarding body’s determination including but not limited to, the finding of irregularities or breaches is binding, and may result in the permanent non-issuance of a certificate. SWBM Academy is not required to provide further justification beyond the awarding body’s decision.
c. Learners waive any right to claim damages, refunds, or compensation from SWBM Academy in cases where results are withheld, voided, or delayed due to the awarding body’s internal findings, regardless of fault or intent by the learner, the centre, or its staff.
6.10 In any case where an awarding organisation withholds or invalidates a learner’s result or qualification including but not limited to situations involving suspected or confirmed malpractice, administrative error, or procedural non-compliance SWBM Academy and its staff accept no liability and shall not be held responsible for any associated financial, professional, or reputational consequences incurred by the learner.
6.11 Learners accept that any investigation or disciplinary outcome by the awarding body does not constitute evidence of wrongdoing by SWBM Academy Ltd unless such finding explicitly states so following a formal and concluded legal process.
6.12 Nothing in these Terms & Conditions shall be interpreted as an admission of liability by SWBM Academy, its Directors, or staff.
6.13 Awarding Body Relationship Disclaimer
SWBM Academy delivers regulated qualifications in collaboration with external awarding organisations. In the event that SWBM Academy’s approval with an awarding organisation is suspended, withdrawn, or otherwise terminated, learners acknowledge and accept that SWBM Academy may be unable to fulfil certain elements of the course agreement — including but not limited to: issuing certificates, conducting resits, or accessing learner records.
In such cases, SWBM Academy will make reasonable efforts to assist learners in completing their qualification through alternative means (e.g. providing results, directing learners to another approved centre), but shall not be held liable for any additional costs, resit fees, or delays incurred due to changes in awarding body status.
6.14 Conditional Nature of Free Resits
Where resits are included as part of a course offer (e.g., up to two free resits), such resits are offered on the condition that SWBM Academy retains its approved centre status with the awarding organisation at the time of delivery.
If SWBM Academy is unable to deliver the resits due to changes in its accreditation status, it shall be considered a matter outside its control. Learners may be advised to transfer their resit to another approved centre, and any additional costs incurred shall be borne by the learner.
6.15 Unforeseen External Disruption
SWBM Academy shall not be liable for failure to perform any part of its obligations where such failure results from external changes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: awarding body withdrawal, changes in regulatory requirements, or data access restrictions imposed by external partners.
6.16 Resit Guarantee Limitations
Resits are subject to continued centre approval and awarding body availability. While the centre offers free resits, learners acknowledge that this is dependent on the centre maintaining its delivery status with the awarding organisation. In the event that the centre loses this status, resits may need to be completed externally and may incur additional costs payable to the new provider.
6.17 Loss of Centre Status or Delivery Privileges
In the event the centre is no longer able to deliver specific qualifications due to changes in awarding body relationships, regulatory approvals, or other external decisions, the centre will not be liable for any financial costs incurred by learners in completing their qualifications elsewhere.
6.18 Continuation at Alternative Centres
Learners who need to complete outstanding modules (e.g., resits) may be advised to do so at a different approved centre. Where possible, SWBM ACADEMY will facilitate the transition and support learners by notifying the awarding body and providing necessary documentation. However, any external fees, travel, or charges applied by the new centre remain the responsibility of the learner.
6.19 Accreditation Disclaimer
All training and assessment services are delivered under the approval of relevant awarding bodies at the time of delivery. The centre reserve the right to update or discontinue qualifications in line with regulatory or awarding body changes. No liability will be accepted for changes outside of our control.
6.20 Learner Responsibility
It is the learner’s responsibility to complete any required resits or outstanding assessments within the timelines provided. Delays caused by the learner or third-party circumstances (e.g. changes to awarding body policies, venue availability, illness) may affect their completion, and the centre cannot guarantee the availability of resits beyond the agreed period.
6.21 Termination of Training Services
The centre reserve the right to withdraw, suspend, or terminate any course or training service at their sole discretion. In such cases, learners will be offered alternative options where possible or referred to an appropriate alternative provider. No guarantee is made that identical terms or pricing will apply at the alternative provider.
6.22 Transfers to Alternative Centres
Where the learner chooses to continue their training or assessment at another centre, they do so independently. The centre is not responsible for the terms, fees, or delivery of services at external providers. Any additional costs or policies applied by those centres are the responsibility of the learner.
6.23 Service Discontinuation
In the event of business closure, insolvency, or regulatory enforcement that prevents training delivery, the centre accepts no liability beyond services already rendered or materials already supplied.
6.24 Where resits are offered as part of a course, they are subject to awarding body approval and the centre’s ability to continue delivering the qualification. The centre cannot guarantee the delivery of resits if approval is withdrawn, suspended, or otherwise impacted by external decisions.
6.25 Any disputes relating to payments must be raised with the centre directly. Learners agree not to initiate chargebacks without first exhausting the centre’s internal resolution process.
At SWBM ACADEMY, we are committed to providing a professional, respectful, and safe learning environment for all our staff, learners, and any members of the public with whom we interact. This Code of Conduct outlines the expectations we have for learner behaviour, along with the consequences of failing to adhere to these standards.

Any learner found to be in violation of this Code of Conduct may be subject to exclusion from their course without a refund.
In cases where a course is part of a package deal or other courses, inappropriate behaviour may lead to the cancellation of the entire training package, regardless of the portion of the course already completed.
