SfEP cannot be held responsible for travel or accommodation costs paid before a course has been confirmed, so we strongly recommend that you do not pay for travel arrangements before you have received your confirmation email stating that the course is going ahead (or alternatively, ring the SfEP Office on 020 8785 6155 to confirm that a course is going ahead). Please note that the confirmation email saying the course is going ahead is not the same as the email that you will receive acknowledging your booking.
Step 1: Please select the booking option that's relevant to you from the drop-down menu below. What you choose will affect the fee you'll be asked to pay.
