Terms of service

Welcome to the CraftCourses.com website terms and conditions. This website enables people to find details and information about creative, craft and artisan courses and workshops, to make direct contact craft course tutors, centres and colleges ("course providers") and to post reviews of the courses they have undertaken. 

The site also offers gift vouchers, redeemable against ALL listed courses – all course providers must accept gift vouchers as a condition for using the site. The vouchers are available for purchase in any amount and are emailed instantly on purchase. Booking must take place within 12 months and this is done directly with the chosen course provider.

The website aim is to assist the UK craft industry in one of its most noble and useful endeavours - the passing on of craft skills.

CRAFT COURSE PROVIDERS, CENTRES AND TUTORS

CraftCourses.com allows every UK based crafts tutor, centre, organisation or college a free course page on the site, with further pages available for £22 per year or £2 per month each.

The following rules apply to all information uploaded onto CraftCourses.com:

-Information supplied must be true, accurate, current and complete.

-Only photographs/images which belong to the course provider (or they have authority to use) are permitted. 

-In order that prospective students can access all of the information they need to be able to go ahead and book the course directly with the course provider , only one course type is allowed per page e.g. ‘Beginners Stained Glass Day for £100’ or ‘Rocking Horse carving weekend for £300’. There must be a specified price and a specified length on each course page, though there may be multiple dates listed (for courses that repeat throughout the year).

-To avoid confusion, course pages are not to be used to advertise any other gift voucher scheme except the CraftCourses one. 

-Please detail as much information about what is taught/offered as possible. Fill in all sections thoroughly, and bear in mind that by making what you offer clear, the more likely it is to find a good match between tutor and student.
