- YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
We affirm that the course materials will meet a satisfactory level of quality; however, we do not affirm that they will be error free. You are responsible for inspecting the course materials and informing us about any oversights as soon as is reasonably possible following delivery.
We place no time limits on you to complete your course, so you can take however long you need, whether that be one months or one year. However, we encourage students to complete their course within 12 months in order for the course to remain current and for you to stay motivated. If you are intending to take leave from your course for a period of six months or longer you are required to notify us in order for us to honour this policy of ‘no time limits’. If you fail to notify us, continuation of your course may incur a £40.00 reactivation fee.
You are required to notify us, either in writing at our registered address or by telephone, of any changes to your postal address.
- Transferring Course
We retain the sole discretion concerning whether a course may be transferred from you to a third party. Any such request must be made to us in writing at our registered address. We will treat all justifiable requests as compassionately as possible.
We retain the sole discretion concerning whether you may transfer to another course offered by us. To request a course transfer you must send a signed, written request via recorded delivery to the Cancellations and Conversions Department at our registered address. We will treat all justifiable requests as compassionately as possible.
If we agree to the course transfer, the total fees paid towards the discontinued course will be offset against the cost of the new course. However, we will require that if the new course fee is greater than that of the discontinued course, the balance should be paid in full along with a standard £40 transfer fee.
- Practical Training Courses
The topics covered during practical training course will be as close as possible to those stated on the website. However, if we are obliged to make any minor changes to your practical training, we reserve the right to do so and will inform you as soon as possible.
All outstanding course fees must be paid in full at least one month before your practical training is due to commence.
Any materials offered free with specified practical courses, e.g. Free NMC Handbook, will be given to you on the first day of your practical training.
- APPEALS
You have a right to appeal the outcome of an assessment on the grounds that you do not agree with the assessment decision made by the Assessor/Tutor/Marker, or that the assessment procedures have not been carried out properly. If you wish to appeal, you must submit written notice to the CEO at our registered address within five days of receiving notification of the grade or assessment. Your notice must include your intention to appeal and the grounds for appeal. You must also then provide a full case, in writing, within a further fourteen days.
The CEO will review the submission and assessment material with relevant academic staff, course leaders, including internal or external verifiers and/or tutors, as applicable for the final grading. Their decision is final and you will be advised of the outcome in writing.
For a copy of the appeals policy and procedure, please send a written request to our Course Administration Department at our registered address.
