Essential Information
Reimbursement
Workshop reimbursements can only be claimed by non-commercial workshop leaders (i.e. workshops that are not sponsored).
Non-commercial workshop leaders
Those working independently can receive a FREE day pass to attend other workshops on the same day as their own (only one free pass per workshop can be provided).
Alternatively, for non-commercial workshop leaders, NATECLA will pay:
£50.00 for you to deliver a session once,
An extra £35.00 for you to repeat the same session on the same day
Travel expenses of up to £100.
These reimbursements are per workshop and NOT per workshop leader.
Commercial organisations
Those representing a commercial organisation such as a publisher, awarding body or training organisation will not be entitled to claim a fee and must pay £150 to deliver a session if it is approved.
Commercial workshop leaders are welcome to attend the full conference provided that they purchase a delegate pass for the day(s) that they attend, including the day of their workshop.
Take advantage of our early booking rates before the end of May.
Please note: NATECLA is a registered charity and, as a result, must limit its expenses accordingly.
Cancellation
It is difficult to predict how popular a workshop will be. Therefore, we reserve the right – although we try not to exercise it – to cancel a workshop because of low numbers, a week before the conference. This would only happen after consultation with the leader(s).
If you have any questions, please contact National Centre at info@natecla.org.uk.
