Information about the course:
ABOUT THE COURSE
It is important to note that this 2 day course is an overview of a proportion of the topics covered by doing the IBD General Certificate. It is different to the 5 day course we have previously run and is designed to complement the online course which is found at www.ibd.org.uk.  
People who are interested in a certification need to do the online course and the exam which is administered by IBD. This course will provide valuable professional development and networking.
Places are limited for this course based on venue capacity.
COVID AND CANCELLATION
Additionally, due to COVID there is an expectation that all participants will follow the social distancing rules applied by our various venues and providers.
Importantly, because this is a face to face event in Hobart, each participant MUST accept that COVID may mean that access to Tasmania from other states in Australia may change at the last moment. We will be happy to offer a 50% refund on tickets that are cancelled up to the last 4 days (18 April) before the event starts as a result of COVID or quarantine requirements. Tickets cancelled in the last 4 days will be charged to cover the cost of prepaid course costs such as venue, catering and bus.
Further details about COVID impacts will be provided in due course.
