Refund Policy

All students have a cooling off period of 10 days after their confirmed enrolment – applications for a cancellation/refund must be made in writing to the Australian Institute of Early Childhood Studies within 10 working days of the Students confirmed enrolment – students will receive a full refund.

Applications made after 10 days will be at the discretion of Management and will incur a fifteen percent (15%) administration fee.

 

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.

 

User Choice Funded Trainees and Apprentices:

Australian Institute of Early Childhood Studies will provide refunds to User Choice funded Trainees/Apprentices/Employers for tuition and/or student support services fees in accordance with contractual requirements.

The Australian Institute of Early Childhood Studies will offer a full refund to the intended Trainee/Apprentice/Employer should they decide to cancel their Traineeship/Apprenticeship prior to being signed up by the Australian Institute of Early Childhood Studies representative.

Any modules purchased by an existing student of the Australian Institute of Early Childhood Studies which have not been submitted and assessed prior to being signed as an Apprentice or Trainee will be used as credit towards the tuition fees involved in becoming a Trainee or Apprentice. Modules which have been purchased and previously assessed will not be used as credit towards the student’s tuition fee.

Should a Trainee or Apprentice cancel their training contract – no refunds will be given for any unit that they have received training in.  To obtain competency in outstanding modules re-enrolment into the college will be required at such a time.
