Joining Instructions
Joining instructions will be sent via email prior to the course. Course participants can also sign up for SMS course reminders.
Eligibility
ITLP courses can be booked by all current members of Oxford University.
Arrangements are in places that allow OUP staff to attend ITLP courses.
If you are not a member of the University and you are interested in any of our courses, please contact us. . In some circumstances it may be possible to attend ITLP courses subject to availability of course places. For external applicants there is a different charging structure, terms and conditions and booking procedures. We will advise you these when you make your enquiry. Please contact us
Prerequisites
Applicants must ensure that they have attained any prerequisite knowledge as set out in the course description.
Charging
There is a charge for course resources, which is listed in the details for each course.
For most courses, payment must be made on the first day of the course. On some occasions we will require payment in advance (see our policy on refunds).
Transfers
If a participant cannot attend a course it is possible to transfer their booking to another course if a suitable course with places is scheduled.
Substitutions
Substitutions may be made by contacting the Course Office prior to the course. This must be done to ensure that records are up-to-date and that attendance certificates/registers can be produced correctly.
Waiting lists
If a course is full applicants can join a waiting list. Applicants will be contacted by email if a place becomes available.
Record of Attendance
A receipt/certificate will be issued to attendees during the course. The certificate of attendance can be used as part of an attendee’s personal development portfolio as a record of your skills development. A record of course bookings is also available in My Account.
It is the responsibility of course participants to ensure that they have records of their course attendance before they leave the University as it is not possible to supply these retrospectively.
Cancellations
A participant must cancel their booking using the online booking system if they cannot attend a course.
Please note that if a person repeatedly fails to cancel bookings that they do not attend, ITLP reserves the right to ask for payment of the course fees in advance.
Cancellation of a course by ITLP
On occasion, unforeseen circumstances may require ITLP to cancel a course. In such circumstances ITLP will give as much notice as possible and endeavour to organise another course date, or refund any fees paid but no compensation will be paid for any additional costs incurred.
Refunds
For a limited number of courses full payment is required in advance. The following refund policy is applicable for these courses.
Where notice of cancellation is received we will refund a proportion of the course fee as follows. The non-refundable portion of the course fee (advised at the time of booking) cannot be reimbursed.
Note: the periods reference the day on which we receive your written notification of cancellation.
Non Attendance
If a participant fails to attend a course then the course fee will remain payable in full.
Accessibility
Information about special arrangements for our courses is available on our accessibility page.
Location
Unless otherwise stated, courses are held in The Thames Suite at Oxford University Computing Services. You will be advised of the specific room when you register on the day.

Participants should arrive 15 minutes prior to the advertised start time. This will ensure you have sufficient time to register and to take your place.
Late Arrivals
Courses start promptly at the advertised time. If participants are more than 15 minutes late it is at the discretion of the teacher as to whether they will be able to join the course.
Participants who then join the course later than 30 minutes after the start may not receive a certificate or have their attendance recorded.
Course duration
If a participant is unable to stay for the duration of the course this must be discussed with the teacher.
