Schedule 1

All categories make minimum provision of programmes and a series of courses for each programme, which are repeated throughout an annual contract cycle. Each course is repeated to allow you to learn at your own pace, also recognising international time zones.  

You will have the potential ability to take a course more than once if you paid for a full year in which case you can often access more new courses as content is refreshed throughout the year. Monthly rolling clients have no guarantees of availability of any specific course, and should ensure their subscription covers the part of the schedule which ensures their ability to access the courses they wish to complete.

There will always be a minimum of the below listed courses around each category and programme available. Any retirement of a specific course within a programme will in due course be replaced. You will be given reasonable notice to ensure you have sufficient ability to access such course prior to removal. 

In the event we have been unable to deliver the volume of courses detailed below during an annual contract cycle, a licence extension will be granted until such delivery has been achieved. If published on SEEDL Premium, no extension will be offered where access was denied by others than us.

The minimum of the below listed courses applies in case all 6 categories are purchased. We reserve the right to amend the volume if this is otherwise necessary. 

We will ensure all quantified volume of courses across all categories are delivered at a minimum of once per quarter. A delivery of a course is scheduled on SEEDL as an 'event'. Where an event is cancelled (due to sickness, technical reasons or force majeure) it will be rescheduled at a similar time of day as per the cancelled event, with the original booked users automatically re-enrolled, even if this is passed the licence expiration.
