Fee for Service Training
This policy is to ensure that a full refund of enrolment fees will be made if a course is cancelled by the Australian Institute of Early Childhood Studies for any reason.
Refund Applications made after 10 days will be at the discretion of Management and will incur a fifteen percent (15%) administration fee.
Refunds will be considered on a pro-rata basis for students who fall ill or are injured to the extent that they can no longer undertake the course providing a supporting Medical Certificate is supplied to the Australian Institute of Early Childhood Studies. However, should participants wish to finalise incomplete units of competency in a future course the original fee can be used as a credit towards that course within three months of initial payment.
In all other cases, refunds are at the discretion of the Directors of the Australian Institute of Early Childhood Studies and may be negotiated on an individual case-by-case basis.
Fees Paid in Advance:
Students who choose to pay fees up-front and leave before finalising their course, should apply for refund before processes of assessment
begin, in which case fees may be refunded on a pro-rata basis.
However, should participants wish to finalise incomplete units of competency in a future course the original fee can be used as a credit
towards that course within three months of initial payment.
