Veema CPD Subscription

We currently offer two subscription models. The fee you pay varies depending on the package you choose and your type of school. You are only allowed to take part in events (online or face-to-face) that form part of your subscription. There is the option for members to purchase additional add-ons to the CPD events and resources we advertise on our website. Veema will always notify you of such events and new offerings.

Contacting Veema

When contacting Veema you will need to let us know you are a member school so we can apply any discount to the price we quote.

CPD Events: Online & Face-to-Face

Veema will invite you to register for CPD events by email. We also promote events and courses on our social media platforms. For paid events, Veema will send confirmation of your booking once payment is successfully received. The preferential rates you enjoy depend on your membership subscription. Veema reserves the right to change this amount at any time. Discounts for online and face-to-face training only apply to our School Leaders Membership Package. At the start of a training session, all participants must agree to Veema’s Housekeeping and Ground Rules on:

• Confidentiality
• Being present
• Timekeeping
• Switching off mobile phones
• Muting microphones when not talking

During a live event, participants are responsible for turning off notifications on all electronic devices that may interfere with a session. Veema reserves the right and without liability to cancel an event if there are too few bookings or for other reasons beyond our control. We will, of course, endeavour to give adequate notice of any cancellation. Only registered delegates from your school with your membership domain can attend Veema events. Unregistered delegates will not be granted access. Veema reserves the right to postpone an event to another date and time. If you cannot attend a paid event/s we will refund you any money you have paid.

FORCE MAJEURE

Force Majeure Event means any circumstance not within a party’s reasonable control, including unexpected transportation issues such as flight cancellation, bad weather or industrial action If a party is prevented, hindered or delayed and so cannot perform any of its obligations under this agreement by a Force Majeure Event (Affected Party), the Affected Party shall not be in breach of this agreement or otherwise liable for any such failure or delay in the performance of such obligations. The time for the performance of such obligations shall be extended accordingly.

Cost of Training

Prices vary for all our face-to-face and online events depending on the type and duration of the programme we are offering as well as the experience and expertise of the consultant delivering the programme. For our School-Based subscription package, members receive a 20% discount for any bespoke training booked with Veema. Veema will discuss the various options you have during the pre-training consultation meeting. This offering does not apply to our Practitioner Membership.

Booking Bespoke Training

Dates must be agreed at least 3 months in advance. Veema has the right to change the trainer or amend a booking if for any unforeseen circumstance we are unable to commit to the agreed date. We will also let you know in writing and provide you with alternative options including a full refund. If member schools need to change, cancel or amend the dates of a training event/s, we will endeavour to fulfil and transfer this to another date. Refunds are not available. Member schools will incur the cost of all travel and accommodation costs if an event is cancelled or postponed by member schools. Veema cannot be held responsible for this and will not pay any costs incurred.
