Any complaints will be communicated in writing to the training provider by the GTB. The GTB shall then set the training provider a deadline by which it must rectify the issues and provide evidence of the measures taken. The GTB may subsequently carry out further seminar audits at any time. If, despite a request from the GTB, the issues are not rectified within the deadline, the GTB may set a new deadline for rectification and provisionally withdraw the accreditation or trainer from further training courses. If the errors giving rise to the complaints are not fully rectified within the second deadline either, the GTB may revoke the accreditation or exclude the trainer concerned from further training
