Is it possible to book my course place on-line?
Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to book a course place on-line – but we are looking into it! For most of our courses you can download our application form from the website. Once you complete this, you can scan it and send it by email to our generic email account sht-tr.nepsec@nhs.net or alternatively return it to us by post to the address on the application form.
Is it possible to pay for my course by card or electronic bank transfer?
Yes! There are many different ways you or a third party such as your employer may choose to pay for your course, including card and electronic payments. If you are covering the course fee yourself please tick the Card box on your application form and we will send you the details to make the payment through the secure government portal. We also have the ability to take card payments in person or over the phone if you would prefer.
My employer does not use purchase order numbers, is it still possible to receive an invoice for my course fee?
Yes, if individuals or other third parties including employers do not use purchase orders your application should simply be accompanied by full invoicing address and written confirmation accepting the responsibility for paying the course fees.
Many employers will not pay an invoice without having raised an official purchase order first, so please ensure you quote this on your application form or send the Purchase Order details with your application.
For NHS organisations we must have a purchase order number made out to “Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHSFT”, but please send directly to sht-tr.nepsec@nhs.net to ensure we can match this to your requested booking.
I intend to pay by cheque, is this possible?
NEPSEC no longer accept cheques as a payment method.
I intend to pay by invoice, but when will I receive an invoice?
We try not to raise invoices until closer to the date of the course. This is to prevent the need for a credit/reimbursement process if you decide to cancel your place. Please see our course applications terms and conditions . As a general rule of thumb, the invoicing process happens between 2 weeks prior and up to 4 weeks after the event.
My employer has not made arrangements to provide a purchase order, can I still book my place and attend the course?
Some employers will not pay an invoice without having raised an official purchase order first. Many of our course places are only allocated on a first-come, first-served basis with completed application and payment or full payment details. However, please do check with our Administration Team with regard to late bookings and options for payment. Sometimes an e-mail from your line-manager explaining the situation will enable a suitable action plan to be put in place that will allow us to take your booking and you to attend.
