Once the booking form is complete, you must send it to our Training Coordinator by email (angela.greatrex@michelin.com). Please note that this does not mean that your order has been accepted. Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy a course. All orders are subject to acceptance by us.

Your booking is a request to us to reserve a place for delegates on a course with a specific start date (course start date) and duration, including any optional extras such as accommodation choices and meal choices chosen by you. All bookings are subject to acceptance by us. After completing your booking form, you will receive an invoice from us setting out the amount payable. The invoice will include reference to these terms and conditions (contract). The contract will only be formed when we send you the invoice.
3.4. The contract will relate only to the course in respect of which we have accepted your order. We will have no obligation to supply courses for which we have not accepted your order.
