1. Participant contact details

All participants in trainings organized by Stichting IFS Nederland must provide their full contact details, including their email address. This information is stored and processed securely in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and used for the organization of the training. Contact details are shared only with Stichting IFS Nederland, the international IFS Institute (IFSI), training staff, and other participants in the same training. They are not shared with third parties who have no involvement in the training. Participants who do not want their contact details shared with other participants in the same training should inform the training administration.

For more information about how we handle personal data, what rights you have in this regard, and how to exercise them, please refer to our privacy statement.

2. Bindende richtlijnen van Stichting IFS Nederland en het IFSI

All participants in the Level 1–3 trainings of Stichting IFS Nederland must read and accept the following IFSI guidelines:

Statement on Safety and Confidentiality

Code of Conduct
Policy on Declining Applications
Admission Requirements for BIG-registered Mental Health Care Professionals
Admission Requirements for Mainstream and Complementary Mental Health Care Professionals with Recognized Qualifications

Stichting IFS Nederland applies these guidelines from the international IFS Institute (IFSI) to its trainings.

3. Deposit and payment terms

A deposit is required to reserve a place in the training. This deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable. The full participation fee must be paid no later than 12 weeks before the start of the training. After this point, the full amount is no longer refundable. In the event of cancellation up to 12 weeks before the start, the participation fee will be refunded, minus the deposit. All payments are non-transferable. Participants who do not meet the payment deadlines will lose their place, unless an alternative payment arrangement has been made.

4. Certificate of completion

To receive a certificate of completion, the minimum required number of attendance hours must be completed. The required number of hours is stated in the relevant training brochure. Attendance is recorded during the training. If the minimum required number of hours is not met, the entire training component must be repeated at the standard rate.

5. Cancellation and insurance

Stichting IFS Nederland accepts no liability for travel or accommodation costs incurred by participants in the event of training cancellation, whether by the participant or by Stichting IFS Nederland itself. Participants are therefore advised to take out appropriate insurance. If Stichting IFS Nederland is required to cancel a training, the participation fee already paid will be refunded in full.

6. Changes to training format

In exceptional cases, Stichting IFS Nederland reserves the right to convert an in-person training to an online format. If this change occurs more than eight weeks before the start of the training, participants who withdraw will receive a full refund of the participation fee. If the change occurs within eight weeks of the start or during the training, no full refund will be provided. In that case, participants will receive a pro rata refund of 10%.

7. Special needs

Participants with specific accessibility or support needs are asked to contact Stichting IFS Nederland as early as possible, so that suitable arrangements can be made.

8. Changes to location and dates

Locations and dates are subject to change. Participants will be informed of any such changes in a timely manner via the contact details provided.

9. Recordings of the training

Participants are not permitted to make recordings of the training content. However, Stichting IFS Nederland reserves the right to record parts of the training for the professional development of its staff. Participants will be informed of this in advance and asked for their consent.

In certain cases, recordings of non-IFS training components may be made available to participants. These recordings are intended solely for participants' educational purposes and may not be distributed or shared on social media.

10. Disputes

In the event of a dispute, participants should first contact Stichting IFS Nederland. If the dispute arises during a Level 1–3 training at Stichting IFS Nederland, the complaints procedure of the international IFS Institute (IFSI) applies.
