Fee

The HPA is a non-profit making organisation and as such the cost of preparing and delivering any course is designed to cover costs only. Costs depend on the topics covered, duration, number of delegates and venue of courses. Please contact the Emergency Response Group to discuss your requirements and to obtain a detailed quotation.

Arrangements are available for charging per delegate and taking all bookings should an organisation wish to extend training opportunities beyond their own staff.

All training courses are subject to the standard terms and conditions for training courses held by the HPA Radiation Protection Division.
