We provide these terms on our own behalf and on behalf of the business schools which will deliver the Programme.  The contract for your place on the Programme will be between your business and the business school you enrol with.  The Chartered Association of Business Schools is not a party to such contract. 

Application process and contract with business school

You will need to comply with the eligibility criteria and complete a registration form on our website when registration opens.  Your application will be processed by the business school you apply to.  That business school will assess your eligibility for the Programme and contact you to offer you a place or decline your application.  The contract between your business and the business school will be formed when the business school’s offer is accepted by you on behalf of your business. The Programme fee will then become payable to the business school.  At all times your business’s relationship in respect of the Programme is with the business school where you accept a place.

You must ensure that any information you provide in your application, and during the Programme, about you and your business, is true and correct.
