GIC Course Edinburgh Cancelled

Dear Participants,

It is with profound regret that we must inform you of the cancellation of the upcoming General Instructor Course (GIC) scheduled for April in Edinburgh, due to unforeseen circumstances beyond our control.

We understand the disappointment and inconvenience this may cause, and we sincerely apologise for any disruption to your plans. Please know that this decision was not made lightly, and we explored every possible avenue to avoid this situation.

However, in light of these circumstances, we are offering two options for affected participants:

  • Rescheduling to a course at the Advanced Life Support Group (ALSG) in Manchester in May.
  • Receiving a full refund of your registration fee.

We understand that neither of these options may fully alleviate the inconvenience caused, but we hope they provide some flexibility and alternative arrangements.

Please note that while the GIC in Edinburgh is cancelled for April, we are actively working to ensure that courses will resume in Edinburgh later in 2024. 

We acknowledge that this change may disrupt your plans, and we sincerely apologise for any inconvenience it may cause. We hope the six-week notice period allows for adequate adjustments to be made to your schedules.

Your understanding and support during this challenging time are greatly appreciated. If there were any way to avoid this cancellation, we would have pursued it earnestly.

Once again, we extend our deepest apologies for any inconvenience caused and express our sincere hope for your understanding and cooperation. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you for your understanding.
