    3. Any venue with less than 14 registrations will be cancelled, and delegates notified of a cancellation in writing.
    4. While every effort is made to pre-plan training workshops, we cannot guarantee to accommodate all delegates at their venue of choice. Delegates are accommodated on a first-come-first-served basis when registering. Where we are unable to accommodate you at your venue of choice, you will be contacted to confirm another acceptable venue.

    6. Fasset members who pay the Skills Development Levy and who travel over 300kms (roundtrip) to attend a training session will be reimbursed at a rate of R3-28 per kilometre. The travel claim procedure and the requirements for this travel claim are available on our website (Events section).
    7. Should a delegate choose to attend a training session at a venue not in close proximity to their home, and other adequately located venues have been provided by Fasset, Fasset will not reimburse a travel claim. Claims will only be paid where the closest venues are fully booked and delegates are requested by the Fasset Call Centre to move to another venue.
