The views expressed at the courses are personal to the speakers and are not attributable to Johnston & Mather, which accepts no responsibility for them. Delegates are recommended to take specific independent advice. In the case of emergencies, Johnston & Mather reserves the right to replace the advertised speaker with suitable substitutes. We use every endeavour to avoid cancelling or aborting a course at the last minute or on the day. However, if factors beyond our reasonable control make this necessary, we will refund the fees or the appropriate portion thereof. We cannot accept liability for any other costs, expenses or losses of delegates wasted or incurred thereby. Speakers for each individual course are indicated in the respective course content. CPD certificates are available for all courses.
