As we hold the rights to the content, we can provide proof that we own the copyright to all manuals and content if this arises. Sometimes, you may be asked to rewrite a sentence, paragraph or section of the manual, which is out of our control.

Images used are stock images purchased through the main stock sites, whereby we hold a license for use.

Requirements of accreditors not only vary between companies but also may vary from time to time within the same company. Where a manual or manuals have passed many times before, legislation and/or company preferences may require an update or edit to the manuals.

Manuals sold are written to save you as much physical time as possible, but you are purchasing them on the recognition that they are fully editable and that small changes may be required before they pass your accreditation company's processes.

The Academy Start Up Experts are not responsible for any requests or requirements set by your chosen accreditation company. We endeavour to ensure that manuals contain everything required by as many companies as possible, and we regularly look to update and edit manuals to ensure they are compliant.
