2. Booking and acceptance

All bookings are subject to acceptance by Susan Crawford SLT.

Susan Crawford SLT reserves the right to decline a booking, refuse course registration, or cancel a booking where necessary, at its discretion.

A place on the course is only confirmed once payment has been successfully received and registration has been accepted.

3. Professional conduct, academic honesty, confidentiality, and responsible use

Participants are expected to engage with the course in a professional, respectful, honest, and responsible manner at all times.

Participants must not:
plagiarise or submit another person’s work as their own

impersonate another participant
allow another person to access the course or participate using their account
misrepresent their participation, engagement, learning hours, reflections, or course completion
post or submit offensive, inappropriate, abusive, dishonest, or unprofessional content

Participants must maintain confidentiality and appropriate professional standards in all assignments, forum posts, learning logs, reflections, and submissions.

Participants must not include identifying or potentially identifying information relating to pupils, families, schools, colleagues, or other individuals. Any examples, reflections, classroom references, or case material used in coursework must be appropriately anonymised.

Where artificial intelligence tools are used in any part of a participant’s work, this must be clearly declared in the required AI declaration and audit trail section of the professional learning log. Participants remain fully responsible for the accuracy, authenticity, originality, and professional integrity of all submitted work.

Failure to meet the standards set out in this section may result in resubmission being required, certification being withheld, suspension of access, removal from the course, or termination of registration without refund.

4. Professional learning requirements

Participants must complete the minimum of 20 hours of professional learning required for the course.

This includes:
at least 10 asynchronous hours engaging with the online course materials
and 10 self-directed hours of additional professional learning activity

Participants are required to complete and submit a professional learning log before certification. The professional learning log must include:
participant name
Teaching Council number
record of module completion
verification of 10 asynchronous hours
record of 10 self-directed hours
description of self-directed activities
reflection section
AI declaration and audit trail section
signature and date

The professional learning log must be completed fully, honestly, and submitted before the course closing date.

5. Course requirements and required participation

To successfully complete the course, participants must complete all required elements of the course, including:
all five modules
one assignment after each of the five modules
the final assignment
two substantive forum posts per module
submission of the professional learning log
completion and verification of the 10 asynchronous hours and 10 self-directed hours
inclusion of the required AI declaration and audit trail
completion of the mandatory course evaluation form

Forum contributions must be meaningful, relevant, and professionally written. Very brief or token posts may not be accepted as meeting the forum requirement.

It is the participant’s responsibility to ensure that all required work is completed, uploaded correctly, and submitted before the course closing date.

6. Course completion and certification

A participant will only be deemed to have successfully completed the course when Susan Crawford SLT is satisfied that all requirements set out in sections 4 and 5 have been completed to the required standard.

Where participants are seeking recognition for EPV purposes, it remains the participant’s responsibility to ensure they meet any external requirements that may apply.

7. Certificates

Once a participant has successfully completed the course, a certificate will be made available.

It is the participant’s responsibility to download and save the certificate as soon as it becomes available. Certificates may not remain accessible after the course closes or after access to the platform ends.

8. Course dates and access period

The course will run in three cohorts:

Cohort 1: 1 July to 10 July 2026
Cohort 2: 13 July to 22 July 2026
Cohort 3: 23 July to 2 August 2026

Access to course materials will remain available until the 31 August 2026, unless otherwise stated.

Once the course access period ends, participants may no longer be able to access course materials, assignments, forums, certificates, or other course records.

9. Course communications and support

Participants may contact the tutor by email for course or technical support at:
[email protected] 

Course-related communication may be sent by email during the course, including reminders, low engagement notices, resubmission required notices, completion confirmation, certificate-related communication, and other important administrative updates.

It is the participant’s responsibility to monitor their email and ensure that course emails can be received.

10. Payments

All payments are processed through Stripe or another secure payment provider used on the platform.

By making a payment, you confirm that the payment details provided are valid and that you are authorised to use the chosen payment method.

All course fees must be paid in full at the time of booking unless otherwise stated.

11. Refunds, cancellations, and courses not running

Course fees are non-refundable where a participant chooses to cancel, fails to attend, fails to engage, fails to complete the course, fails to submit required work, or fails to meet certification requirements.

If a course does not run, including where there are insufficient bookings, participants will be notified and will be offered a refund.

12. Cohort selection and transfers

Participants must choose their course date carefully at the time of booking.

Bookings are made for the selected course date and cannot be transferred to another date after registration.

If a participant is unable to attend, the cancellation and refund terms set out in section 11 will apply.

13. Course access and account use

Course access is granted to the registered participant only for their own individual professional learning during the stated access period.

Participants may not share login details, transfer access, or allow another person to use their account.

14. Intellectual property and use of course materials

All course content remains the intellectual property of Susan Crawford SLT, unless otherwise stated.

Participants may not copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, distribute, share, record, sell, licence, or otherwise use any part of the course materials without prior written permission from Susan Crawford SLT.

Course materials are provided for the participant’s own personal professional learning only.

15. Technical requirements and platform availability

Participants are responsible for ensuring that they have suitable internet access, devices, software, and technical ability to participate in the course.

While reasonable efforts will be made to provide reliable access to the course and platform, Susan Crawford SLT does not guarantee uninterrupted, secure, or error-free access at all times.

Relevant course records may be stored securely for administrative, certification, verification, quality assurance, and compliance purposes, in line with the Privacy Policy of Susan Crawford SLT.

17. Third-party platforms and services

This course may be hosted or delivered using third-party services and platforms, including Thinkific and Stripe.

Use of those platforms may also be subject to their own terms and privacy policies.

18. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Susan Crawford SLT shall not be liable for loss, damage, cost, delay, interruption, or inconvenience arising from technical problems, third-party platform issues, participant device or internet issues, failure to submit work correctly or on time, or failure to download documents before access ends.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability where it cannot legally be excluded.

19. Changes to the course or terms

Susan Crawford SLT reserves the right to amend these terms, update course content, revise course requirements where reasonably necessary, make administrative changes, or alter course arrangements where required.
