Use the dedicated meeting and events entrance in Prescott Street near the zebra crossing.

Cost and cancellation

The cost of the event is £360 (including 20% VAT) per delegate including lunch. Payment will be invoiced after the event.

If you need to cancel your attendance at the event, inform us in writing or by email at least 10 working days beforehand. Failure to do so will result in you being charged the full amount.

What happens after registration

Within 5 days of your form submission, you will receive an email confirming receipt. This also confirms reservation of your place.

You must make sure that the contact email address is correct and clearly highlighted (if different to the attendee’s email address).

For bulk bookings you must provide each attendee’s:

  • name
  • contact details
  • email address
  • dietary requirements

This is so that certificates and places can be arranged (extra details can be provided on a separate page of the registration form).

Although we will try and accommodate changes in bookings where possible, we are not responsible for errors made by third-party booking agents.

If you have any concerns or queries about your course booking, contact denise.carter@businessandtrade.gov.uk.

We email venue details and a final agenda to the attendees around 2 weeks before the course date.

If you have not received your course details by 5 working days before the event, contact denise.carter@businessandtrade.gov.uk.

Payment for all courses

The cost of each event (per delegate) is in the events calendar.

You will be invoiced after the event. Payment can be made by BACS transfer or by cheque payable to ‘Department for Business and Trade’.

We cannot accept payment by debit or credit card.

Attendance at your chosen event is only assured once you have received confirmation from ECJU.

Cancellation policy and nominating alternative attendees

You must confirm any cancellations or postponements by writing or emailing the Events Manager. This must be done at least 10 working days before the event. You may be invoiced the course costs if you fail to do this.

Alternative attendees can be nominated. You must contact the Events Manager before the event to confirm name changes.

If we have to cancel a training course or event, your prepaid attendance fees will be either:

  • reimbursed without undue delay
  • used as credit for a future course

As the ECJU only makes a nominal change for attendance to cover basic costs, any further claims on the part of the delegate are excluded.

Strategic export control learning path

ECJU is currently reviewing its learning path and will update this guidance when more information on this is available.

We have a number of recorded webinars available that can be viewed while this review is ongoing:
