Language

Because of the variety of nationalities, courses will by default be conducted in English. Therefore delegates are expected to be able to read, speak and understand English. If not, we are able to provide interpreters at an extra cost.

IDENTIFICATION

Every delegate must be able to prove his/her identity. Please note that all course fees are subject to change without prior notice. In case you need additional information please do not hesitate to contact our booking office.

Cancellation

Flexibility is our top priority.

Given the unpredictable dynamic maritime business, we are fully aware that it is not always possible for our participants to be present and train on the exact booked dates. If you need to pass a change or cancellation, please contact our booking department by phone or email as soon as possible.

STC NEXT will then get in contact with you to arrange a new suitable date or to move the course to another date. If this is not feasible in the short term and the course has to be canceled, STC NEXT will normally never charge any extra costs.

An exception on the above are costs associated with courses that we as provider are also charged for in the event of cancellations. By example the rental of external locations, examination costs by third parties and no-show charges for external hiring of trainers and/or reserved locations.

STC NEXT will anyhow immediately inform you upon cancellation or otherwise as soon as possible if any additional costs are to be charged.
