You agree that our train the trainer courses meet the needs of your organisation/ individual requirements and agree to notify Passion4Training if you are unable to meet any aspect of this agreement.  If Passion4Training is notified of a breach of the agreement, then Trainer Membership may be suspended without notice until the individual can demonstrate that it fully meets all parts of the Approved Trainer Agreement.

Passion4Training does not make any inspection of members to verify that they are complying with the Approved Trainer Agreement and therefore Passion4Training does not accept any responsibility for any member’s conduct, procedures, or operation. However, during your membership with us you will be required to provide evidence to demonstrate that you are compliant with aspects of the Approved Trainer Agreement by submitting your Approved Trainer QA Record that can be accessed/ downloaded from the Approved Trainer HUB under resources. These must be submitted every time you deliver a training course and uploaded via the Approved Trainer HUB or can be sent by email to hello@passion4training.co.uk and any supporting documents we request for Quality Assurance processes.

Passion4Training may update the Approved Trainer Agreement at any time but will notify all Approved Trainers of the changes via the Approved Trainers Portal.
