Terms & Conditions

For current course fees and dates, please refer to our website.

If you are booking the course for yourself, you are responsible for ensuring that the course selected is suitable for your level of experience and desired outcomes. BARBRI Global will not assume responsibility for your choice. Nor does it make any commitment to you that any particular outcome will be obtained from completion of the course and/or use of the study materials.

If a course registration/booking form is completed by an individual other than the named student, it is the responsibility of the person authorising the booking to ensure the course is suitable for the student.
Receipt of your booking form does not guarantee a place on your chosen course. A place will only be secured, once payment terms have been fulfilled. Please see the relevant section below regarding payment terms.

Important note: BARBRI Global will deem the completion by you of a booking form/request, or a request by telephone, email or otherwise, as an intention on your part to form a legally binding agreement. Once we have acted upon your request by confirming your booking in writing, a legally binding agreement shall come into force between us.
We reserve the right to refuse attendance on a course if you have behaved unacceptably, including, but not limited to, any physical or verbal abuse towards staff.

Payment Terms

All amounts quoted exclude VAT (where applicable), except where stated otherwise.

Regardless of your method of booking, the fee for your chosen course/assessment can be found on the relevant page of our website and/or booking form and are quoted in pounds sterling. Note: In house course fees will be the subject of agreement on a case-by-case basis.

In the unlikely event that due to a technical error, the amount of the course fee displayed on the website or on the enrolment form is incorrect, BARBRI Global will notify you as soon as reasonably possible.

If you are paying the course fees yourself:

Payment is due immediately upon booking by credit/debit card or BACS.

If your employer has agreed to be invoiced for the course fee:

If your firm has agreed to pay for your training, please note an invoice will be issued once your booking has been processed. By submitting your booking form, you are agreeing that your firm has given you authorisation to book.
Full payment of the course/assessment fee, will be due from your employer within 28 days from the date of the invoice. In the case of bookings made fewer than 28 days before the course/assessment start date, payment is due immediately upon booking.

Without prejudice to BARBRI Global’s rights and remedies under these terms and conditions, if any sum payable by the employer is not paid on or before the due date BARBRI Global reserves the right to deny or suspend provision to you of the booked course and, if relevant, to withhold results and certificates.

Except in the case of frustration of the contract by BARBRI Global, the employer is and will remain fully liable for the payment of amounts due in all circumstances.

If a purchase order number is to be quoted on an invoice, it must be supplied at the time of the original booking as we are unable to amend an invoice once it has been raised. We reserve the right to charge a fee of £25+ VAT if the invoice needs to be reissued.

BARBRI Global reserves the right to charge interest at 4% per annum on overdue amounts.

Refunds made by BARBRI Global in accordance with our terms and conditions will be paid to the original payer.
All deposits received are for the sole purpose of reserving a course place.

Funds received but not utilised or refunded in accordance with our terms and conditions will be forfeited to BARBRI Global.

If all elements of your course are not utilised within the standard two-year training contract, (two years from the original booking date) then BARBRI Global reserve the right to consider the remaining elements forfeited, unless the student has informed BARBRI Global of an extension granted by the SRA. If the student has gained an extension with the SRA a further six months will be added to this standard two-year period.

Distance selling regulations entitle students to a 14-day ‘cooling-off’ period. This means that any student securing a booking by telephone, internet or otherwise not in person will have 14 days in which to cancel their booking. If a student exercises his or her right to cancel during this 14-day period a full refund of all amounts already paid by the student or their employer will be refunded to the relevant party’s original payment method, after deduction of the cost of any services already performed by BARBRI Global.

BARBRI Global reserves the right to vary or cancel any course, and/or amend our fees and will accept no liability if this happens a minimum of two weeks before the course start date. In the event of there being insufficient numbers booked on a course, BARBRI Global reserves the right to cancel or postpone the course and will notify you of this in advance. In the event we cancel, you can transfer to another course free of charge or receive a full refund of the course fee paid but BARBRI Global will not be liable for other expenses you may have occurred.

Unless you are cancelling within the 14-day cooling off period mentioned above, once BARBRI Global has accepted your booking you will remain liable for the full fees. In most cases, however, students may be substituted onto courses free of charge provided that we are notified of the substitution prior to the start of the course. Substitution onto assessments may not be possible and requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Subject to the additional terms below, requests to transfer received by us at least 28 days prior to the course start date will be granted free of charge.

With the exception of Higher Rights of Audience training and assessment courses, Trainee Litigation Course and CILEx Advocacy Qualification Scheme, (please refer to the relevant titled sections below) you may transfer, subject to availability, to alternative dates free of charge as long as we receive your transfer request at least 28 days prior to the course start date. Transfers requested within 28 days of the course start date will also be subject to availability and will attract a transfer fee of £50 plus vat for a full-day session transferred and £25 plus VAT for a half-day session (see below for separate charges applicable to courses where roles are allocated). Transferring between face-to-face to online versions of a course or assessment will incur a transfer fee as indicated above. This transfer fee will only be waived if the request is supported by relevant written medical evidence received within 7 days of the course start date. Transfers will not be actioned until the transfer fee has been paid in full.

In the case of courses/assessments involving students being allocated a role, and granted advanced access to role-specific resources, a transfer fee of £100 plus vat per day will apply to transfer requests received within 28 days of the start of the course. Details of courses where roles are allocated are flagged on our website.

All requests from students to cancel and/or transfer their course booking must be received in writing or using BARBRI Global’s standard enquiry form which can be accessed via our website www.altior.co.uk.

In the case of non-attendance by a student on any day/live online session of a course/assessment, the fee for that day will be forfeited and not be refunded. The fee for any day/session re-booked will be calculated on a stand-alone (non-package) basis and must be paid before the new date/s can be booked. In the case of non-attendance due to medical or compassionate grounds which have been substantiated by relevant written evidence, transfers may be granted, subject to availability, free of charge.

BARBRI Global will send all correspondence primarily via email to the email address provided on the booking form. If alternative details are received after the booking form has been submitted, they will supersede the original details and all future correspondence will be sent to the new address.

Certificates will be sent in pdf format by email and only posted if specifically requested to the nominated postal address. Mislaid certificates can be replaced for a fee of £25 plus vat.

It is the responsibility of the individual attending the course/assessment to ensure they have received joining instructions prior to the date of the course/assessment and to contact BARBRI Global to arrange for them to be reissued in the event of non-arrival within 7 days from the start date of the course/assessment.

It may be necessary, for reasons beyond the control of BARBRI Global, to change the content, timing, date or venue of the course or trainer. In such circumstances, students will be informed via email. It is the responsibility of the student to check for any such amendments prior to the course.

No results or certificate(s) will be issued whilst there is an overdue balance due to BARBRI Global on a firm’s account (including interest on overdue balances and statutory compensation).

Live Online attendance will be monitored via an engagement monitoring facility. If you appear not to be engaging with the session, we reserve the right to ask you to repeat the session if the course has a compulsory hours requirement. That repeat session will be charged at full fees.

1. No BARBRI Global special offer, promotion or discount can be used in conjunction with any other BARBRI Global special offer, promotion or discount.
2. A special offer, promotion or discount will not be applied retrospectively to any course/assessment booking.
3. Where a special offer, promotion or discount relates to a specific course/assessment/date/venue, the offer cannot be applied to any different course/assessment/date/venue. Transfers to courses/assessments/dates/venues not covered by the offer will incur a fee representing the difference between the full published price of the course/assessment and the discounted price as well as any transfer fees which may be applicable.
4. Where a special offer relates to multiple course bookings, all courses must be booked at the same time.
5. Discounts offered, from time to time, to alumni will only be honoured if the student can prove they have previously studied with BARBRI Global and we hold their record on our system. As with all discounts, alumni discounts must be claimed by the student at the point of booking and cannot be applied retrospectively.

The following transfer fees will apply to BARBRI Global’s Higher Rights of Audience training and assessment course, Trainee Litigation Course (TLP) and CILEx Advocacy Skills Course (training and assessment)

1. Transfer requests received 60 days or more prior to the first day of the course - no transfer fee will be payable
2. Transfer requests received fewer than 60 days prior to the first day of the course - a transfer fee equivalent to 50% of the fee paid/due for the booked course will be payable
3. Transfer requests received fewer than 28 days prior to the first day of the course - 100% of the fee paid/due for the booked course will be forfeited/remain payable. The new course dates to be booked will attract the full fee as published at the time.
