Seminar FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
In anticipation of the questions you may ask, we’ve provided you with the answers to help facilitate your registration and attendance in our seminars.
Seminar Registration Information
• Why is pre-registration important?
We encourage you to register in advance so we can plan for the correct number of participants. Without pre-registration, we cannot guarantee a packet of educational materials for your use during the seminar. Only paid registrants have guaranteed seats. Those who pre-registered but have not yet made their payments are put on “priority status” contingent upon availability of seats.
• How do I pre-register?
You need to download the registration form of the program you are interested in from the CGBP website (please click on the link as shown below). Fill in the complete details and return the form to us via fax (+63 2) 842-7159 or email at bestpractices8888@yahoo.com w/ a cc copy sent to henry@cgbp.org
Any inquiry or clarification may also be emailed to the same address or you may call us at (+63 2) 842-7148.
• Can I pre-register more than 1 person?
Yes. If you register three or more persons at the same time for the same program, you will receive a 5% group discount.
• How will I know my pre-registration is confirmed?
You will be issued a billing statement to serve as a reference for your payment. The billing statement contains details of the amount to be paid; any discounts you are entitled to; dates of the deadlines of the said discounts; and options on how to make your payment. Should you choose to deposit your payment in our bank account, you have to fax the teller-validated deposit slip to our office as proof of payment. Please note that your registration will not be considered confirmed until your payment has been received by CENTER FOR GLOBAL BEST PRACTICES.
• Do you accept walk-ins?
We accept walk-ins if there are seats available on the day of the seminar. For walk-ins, we cannot guarantee that we can provide a seat and lecture materials, especially if the seminar has reached fully-booked status.
