Please contact your local office for more information about the VAT regime applied. QRP will list the correct VAT amount on the invoice, as required by statute. VAT is payable regardless of the Client’s country of origin; the point of supply for VAT purposes is the location of the course. For e-learning courses, VAT will be charged with regard to the place of supply and the relevant tax legislation in the country of consumption. Should you have a VAT exemption please provide QRP with all relevant details before an invoice is issued.

Confirmed Bookings
When confirmation of order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, in the form of an invoice. An invoice, relevant to the chosen payment option, will be sent as soon as the confirmation is received. If the course is cancelled or the delegate can no longer attend then a credit note and reimbursement, if necessary, will be issued.

Payment Terms

  • Classroom and Virtual: An invoice will be issued on receipt of order. The course fee(s), including VAT, are payable in full within 10 working of date of issue. All payments must be received, regardless of payment terms, prior to an examination being issued or delivered by the Company. Payment is due immediately should the booking be made within 10 working days of the course commencement date. If, for whatever reason, payment is not received then attendance at the course will not be permitted. These conditions are non negotiable.
  • ‘Early Bird’ Price: The course fee(s), including VAT for services purchased with the ‘Early Bird’ price are payable in full upon receipt of invoice.
