  • Non-CloudyIT customers are charged £65 per attendee.
  • CloudyIT customers who have training credits can utilise 1 of their credits per attendee. 

Please note: A CloudyIT customer is defined as a customer with an active service, including Microsoft 365, Support, Decisions, Apps, or Finance. 

Invoice and Payment

Upon signing up for a session, an invoice will be raised, requiring immediate payment. 

Cancellation Policy

If you wish to cancel your registration, a minimum of 24 hours’ notice is required to be eligible for a refund.
