Non-attendance policy:

We run our courses with funding from UK Government Department of Science, Innovation and Technology. We waive attendance fees in full for University of Birmingham staff and students; nevertheless, these spaces are highly valuable and should be treated as such. No-shows without prior cancellation are unacceptable, waste spaces and are inconsiderate to trainers. Therefore you must ensure you have permission from your PI/line manager to attend this course and in the event that you do not attend we will charge a non-attendance fee.
