2 Organization and Procedure

2.1 The lectures for the training course shall take place exclusively at the contractually agreed training location of the training provider. The participant’s place of residence during self-study periods (e.g. for exam preparation and processing of learning checks) can be freely chosen by the participant or is agreed between the participant and the training provider or between the participant and the funding body of the measure.

2.2 The participant undertakes to adhere to the performance period and the training plan. The same applies to the additional regulations agreed upon with the respective funding institution or cost unit. Deviations are only possible in special cases (e.g. developments relevant to the labor market and technical developments) and after consultation with the responsible agency.

3 Placing of order, registration and performance

3.1 The basis of the business relationship is the respective binding registration or written order placed with us by the participant, in which the scope of services and the participation fee are specified.

3.2 Addition for AZAV participants: The basis of the business relationship is the written confirmation of the participant’s order, in which the scope of services and the participation fee are specified, by the Institute for Project Management.

3.3 The participant may send us orders by post, e-mail or fax. With the registration / placing of order, our terms and conditions for participation in our courses are accepted.

3.4 The number of participants is generally limited. Early registration is therefore advantageous.

3.5 If the number of participants for a course is only 3 or less up to two weeks before the start of the course, we reserve the right to cancel the course. In this case, we will name alternative dates or refund course fees already paid; no further claims can be made.

4 Prices

4.1 The prices agreed in writing in the confirmation of participation signed by the participant shall apply. The scope of services shall also be set out in writing in the confirmation of participation.

If services are not or only partially utilized by the participant, no claims for reimbursement can be asserted as a result.

All prices are exclusive of the statutory value-added tax (currently 19%).

4.2 Addition for participants according to AZAV: The costs include all learning materials, examination fees, certificate and certificate of participation.

5 Payment and due date

5.1 The participation fee arises upon confirmation of participation by the participant and is due for payment immediately and without deduction upon issuance of the invoice by transfer to the business account.

5.2 Addition for participants according to AZAV: Payment is made directly via the employment agency and is possible in monthly installments. The participant assigns the claims of the education voucher to Fuchs & Consorten Unternehmensberatung GmbH.

5.3 If the first registration on our e-learning platform takes place before the expiry of the cancellation period, the training is deemed to have started. Cancellation free of charge is no longer possible thereafter. Certificates will only be issued after the face-to-face course/live online seminar.

For this repayment, we will use the same means of payment that you used for the original transaction, unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; in no case will you be charged any fees because of this repayment.

If you have requested that the service should begin during the withdrawal period, you shall pay us a reasonable amount corresponding to the proportion of the services already provided up to the point in time at which you notify us of the exercise of the right of withdrawal with regard to this contract compared to the total scope of the services provided for in the contract.

The right of withdrawal is excluded for contracts
