We follow a clear training pricing structure, which is reviewed at least annually. We aim to ensure that our courses are as affordable as possible for both independent practitioners, and organisational bookings. As a charity delivering as well as training, it is important to us that families and communities have access to highly-skilled practitioners to enable them to get the most of the support being offered.

To support our Daybreak Independent Coordinators with their ongoing professional development, we offer 50% off all training courses. A discount code will be provided once onboarding is complete.
For other independent Coordinators, we aim to price our training at affordable levels and therefore choose not to offer discounts - except if under a one-off promotion. Keep watch on our social media to be informed about these.
We do provide some payment options. Please review the relevant FAQ for information on these.
For Organisations, we offer a pricing incentive for repeat bookings.
Five for Five: Organisations booking 5 or more places at once for any Daybreak-hosted courses (online or in-person) will receive a 5% discount on the total invoice. Valid for bookings within a 12-month period.
Pick n Mix Offer: We offer a Pick n Mix discount to support organisational training. Book 3 or more training courses (any mix of our set programmes) at the same time, and receive a double-% discount relevant to the number of bookings, e.g. 3 courses, 6 % discount. Courses must be delivered within 18 months of invoice date. Discount is applied automatically at invoice stage.

Your booking is only confirmed once we have received full payment or a valid Purchase Order number.
Payments can be made via our online system. Should you not be able to pay online, please contact us to arrange a BACs payment.
Payment by Instalments
We offer instalment options to help with affordability. You can pay in 2 or 4 equal parts. If you’d like to explore this option, please email training@daybreakfgc.org.uk.
For this option, we’ll provide a discount code to use with our payment system. Please note: your place is only secured once full payment is received and must be paid no later than 2 weeks before the course date. Refund terms still apply.

Travel and Accommodation Surcharges for Training
Local Training (No Additional Charges)
Where the training location is within 3 hours travel time or 100 miles of our Registered Office (Eastleigh) — whichever is less — no additional travel or accommodation costs will be charged.Non-Local Training (Additional Charges Apply)
Where the training location exceeds 3 hours travel time or 100 miles from our Registered Office (Eastleigh), travel and accommodation surcharges will apply as outlined below.Travel Safety Principle
To ensure trainer wellbeing and safe travel, we typically avoid long-distance travel on the same day as training delivery. The following guidance is used to determine overnight stays:1-day training → 2 nights accommodation
2-day training → 3 nights accommodation
3-day training → 4 nights accommodation
Fixed Overnight Stay Surcharges (per night)
Accommodation and subsistence surcharges total £150 per night, comprising:
£125 overnight stay
£25 expenses
Mileage Costs
Mileage is charged for mileage over and above 100 miles per journey, at £0.55 per mile. This is calculated based on return travel between the trainer’s base location and the training venue or accommodation, as applicable. The specific mileage distance and cost will be determined at quote, as it will be reflective of individual booking circumstances.Cancellations
Where our cancellation policy is applied, accommodation charges may still be payable. This will depend on the notice period provided and the terms of the accommodation booking.
