Fees and Charges

SCHEDULE OF FEES AND CHARGES

PAYMENT: Learners will be invoiced per term before training commences. The first term will include course fees for the term, any administration and resource charges. These charges are non-refundable.

Payment is required within 14 days of invoice being issued. Payment can be made by direct debit or bank transfer. A 2% late fee payment may be added to invoices not paid within a reasonable time. A payment plan can be negotiated with the Director if the learner is unable to meet training costs.

No refund is paid if a learner fails to attend for the term. Once enrolled in the term learners need to be committed and aim to complete at least three units of competency per term. If they withdraw, they can choose to enrol in another term within a twelve-month period or leave and receive a statement of attainment.
