Torbay Tourism

Torbay Tourism Workshop Programme

Torbay Tourism Workshops is a project offering a series of free training courses for people involved in the tourism and hospitality industry in the Torbay area. The courses are being run for businesses within Torbay and once again, are being offered free of charge to delegates, thanks to funding provided by European Social Fund and Enterprise South Devon to help develop employment by promoting employability, business spirit, equal opportunities and investment in human resources.

Registration

Course places are reserved on a first come first served basis and we are initially offering up to two free places to each business. This is a concerted attempt to offer these free training opportunities to as many businesses in Torbay as possible.

As with all fully funded training opportunities, there will be paperwork that needs to be completed to ensure your eligibility regardless of any previous enrolment with Enterprise South Devon. 

You will need to download, complete and return the following registration documents to secure your place on the workshop(s):

1) Workshop Booking Form

2) Business Information Form

3) De Minimis Form

4) Benificiary Form

5) Registration Pack Check List

To ensure that we are working inline with Equal Opportunties, please download and read the following:

1) Equal Opportunities Information Sheet

2) Equal Opportunities 10 Point Plan

Due to some late cancellations and no shows on our programme last Spring we now adopt a cancellation policy. All bookings require registration documents to be completed and returned to us with a fully refundable deposit £30.00 per delegate paid in advance.  Deposits will be returned when delegates have completed the course or if attendance is cancelled within the notice period of 4 days and when all documents have been completed in full, signed and returned.

If any business/attendee fails to inform ESD that they are unable to attend and want to cancel their places up to 4 days prior to the event's commencement then a standard charge of £60.00 per person per course will be applied and invoiced directly after the event. This charge also applies for non-return of completed registration forms.

If you would like a registration pack posting out to you please do not hesiate to complete our enquiry form or contact Jessica West on 01626 837000
