General terms and conditions

General Conditions for students Dutch Institute for Schema Therapy.

These general conditions apply to all courses and workshops for which individuals register independently. A participant registers for a course or workshop by completing and submitting a registration form via the website www.dutchschematherapy.com and thereby agrees to these terms and conditions.

Registrations are processed in the order they are received. Upon receipt of the registration form, a confirmation email will be sent to the person who registered. If necessary, the participant will first be asked to provide information regarding the required eligibility criteria for participation.

If a course is fully booked, participants may join the waiting list. When a place becomes available, the first person on the waiting list will be contacted. If that person is no longer interested, the next person on the list will be approached, and so on.

If the number of registrations for a course or workshop is less than two-thirds of the maximum capacity, the course or workshop will be cancelled. Those who have registered will be consulted regarding placement in a course at a later date.

After registration, the participant will receive an invoice for the course fee. This invoice must be paid no later than four weeks before the start of the course. The invoice will be sent to the participant’s private email address unless otherwise indicated on the registration form. The participant is responsible for ensuring timely payment. If the participant’s employer is covering the course fees, the participant remains responsible for ensuring that the invoice is paid on time.

Cancellation and interim termination

The participant can cancel within 14 days, free of charge, without the need to provide a reason for cancelling. Cancelling participation of a course can only be done by writing us an email or letter. The date of receipt will be considered as the cancellation date.
In case of cancellation up to one month before the start of the course, the participant will be charged €50.
In case of cancellation within one month and 2 weeks before the start of the course, 30% of the agreed price will be charged.
In case of cancellation less than 2 weeks before the start of the course, 50% of the agreed price will be charged.
In the event of premature termination 50% (as start-up costs) of the agreed price, plus the costs of what has already been followed education, regardless of whether you were present at these meeting(s). The total costs are never higher than the agreed price.
It is possible to be replaced by a colleague if he/she meets the admission requirements for the course. In this case, only € 50, – administration costs will be charged.

Missing out on course days

In a 4-day course (25 hours) 1 day at the most may be missed out on. This day has to be made up for during a next course.
In an 8-day course (50 hours) 2 days at the most may be missed out on, of which 1 day at least has to be made up for. For the second day a substitute assignment has to be completed.
Missed out days in a workshop of 1 or 2 days always have to be made up for. An exception to this rule is the supervisor’s course. If you miss out on day 1, the entire course has to be taken again, because following day 2 is not possible without having followed day 1.
In the international course of 40 hours (2 hours per week) 4 sessions of 2 hours at the most may be missed out on. If you miss out on one or two sessions, you must watch the recordings of these sessions as an alternative assignment. If you miss out on three or four 2-hour sessions , you must watch the recordings of these sessions and make an alternative assignment about a subject of one (or two) of the three (or four) missed out on day(s).

Missed out on days can be made up for during a next course or workshop. The costs for a catch-up day are € 50 (with the international course € 25 for each catch-up assignment to be checked). If you miss more than the indicated number of days, you must do the course again.

The management of Dutch Institute for Schema Therapy can decide however only very rarely to make an exception for this. This is only possible on the basis of compelling reasons exclusively relating to the student.
