Booking terms

Course & booking policies.

The terms below cover minimum enrolment, cancellation, refunds, package validity, VAT, and travel across live online seminars, coaching, consultancy, and school workshops. Specific fees are shown on each service’s booking page before payment.

LIVE ONLINE SEMINARS

Seminars, school pairs & passes

Open seminars run on published dates once enough educators are confirmed.

  • A seminar proceeds once its published minimum number of paid participants (normally 8) is reached.
  • If the minimum is not reached, you may transfer to a new date or receive a refund under the published terms.
  • A school pair covers two educators from the same school attending the same seminar.
  • Four-seminar passes are valid for 12 months from purchase.
  • Rescheduling and cancellation terms are shown before payment.
INDIVIDUAL COACHING

Coaching sessions & packages

Coaching is a live conversation for one educator, or two colleagues from the same school.

  • Booking includes a short intake form so the session stays focused.
  • Coaching packages are valid for 12 months from purchase.
  • A standard coaching session includes no substantial pre-reading or written report.
  • Rescheduling and cancellation terms are shown before payment.
CUSTOM CONSULTANCY

Bespoke consultancy

Consultancy is billed for the time the work actually takes, not only the live meeting.

  • Billable time includes preparation, document review, research, the live meeting, and agreed written follow-up.
  • Custom consultancy has a two-hour minimum.
  • Urgent delivery within 48 hours may carry a 25% priority supplement.
  • Travel, accommodation, equipment and specialist materials are quoted separately for any on-site work.
SCHOOL WORKSHOPS

On-site & school bookings

A booked workshop date is reserved for you and prevents other work being accepted for that slot.

  • School workshops require a non-refundable booking deposit to hold the date.
  • Rescheduling, cancellation, travel, and equipment terms are set out in the booking conditions before payment.
  • Remaining fees are invoiced under the conditions agreed at the time of booking.
GENERAL TERMS

Applies to all services

The following terms apply across seminars, coaching, consultancy and workshops.

  • Prices exclude VAT where applicable.
  • Travel, accommodation, equipment rental, and specialist materials are quoted separately.
  • Current candidate work is not marked, pre-scored, or edited as part of any service.
IB FILM SPECIALIST SERVICES

Teaching IB Film provides independent professional learning. Its seminars, coaching and consultancy are not IB-authorised workshops and do not count towards IB programme authorisation or official IB professional-development requirements.

Specialist services may help teachers understand course structure, assessment-task requirements and effective formative preparation. They must not include marking, pre-scoring or editing current candidate work, predicting grades, or sharing confidential examining material.

These policies summarise the standard booking terms. The full conditions for a given seminar, coaching session, workshop, or consultancy engagement are presented before payment and take precedence where they differ.
