Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach out to us at events@thetutorsassociation.org.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide a refund to any guests who need to cancel. 

Depending on how close to the event you need to cancel, our events team will try to reallocate your ticket for you to somebody on the waitlist. If successful, this would result in a refund; however, no guarantees can be made.

Ticket sales close one week before the event, on Thursday 19th of October, as we will need to confirm final numbers with the venue and let them know of all dietary requirements for the event.

TTA does not cover travel expenses for our events, however did you know you can offset these costs against your company tax returns, even if you are a sole trader?

No, of course not! We welcome everyone to our events, even if you are not a member (yet!).
