Echo Academy reserves the right to make reasonable changes to course content, faculty, or delivery format if necessary.
It is the participant’s responsibility to ensure they meet the stated entry requirements for each course.
Foundational courses do not require prior echocardiography experience.
Advanced courses recommend a minimum experience of approximately 20 independently performed transthoracic echocardiography scans.
Completion of a course does not automatically confer clinical accreditation.
Participants receive a Certificate of Attendance and CPD points where applicable.
Formal accreditations (e.g., BSE Level 1, FUSIC Heart) require successful completion of separate clinical assessments and logbooks, in accordance with the relevant accrediting bodies' policies.
Refunds are available up to four weeks prior to the course start date.
Cancellations within four weeks are generally non-refundable unless a replacement participant is secured, at Echo Academy's discretion.
Late withdrawals may prevent other candidates from attending, due to limited places.
In the event Echo Academy cancels or reschedules a course, participants may request a full refund or transfer to a future course.
Full refunds are available within 14 days of registration provided the participant has not accessed, downloaded, or completed more than 5% of the course content.

Approved refunds will be processed to the original payment method within 14 working days of confirmation.
