Courses: learners wishing to withdraw from a course before starting (i.e., the learner has never visited the course) may receive a refund. Learners who have enrolled in a course and wish to withdraw within the first week after starting a course may request a refund – please be sure to include a reason for the request. While the Institute does not guarantee that a refund will be granted, the learner is required to stop accessing the course immediately if they want their application for a refund to be considered.

After one week of access of a course, refunds will no longer be considered.

Diploma Programs: Learners wishing to withdraw from a diploma program before starting (i.e., the learner has not visited any course) may receive a refund. Within the first week of access of the first course, the learner may request a refund – please be sure to include a reason for the request. While the Institute does not guarantee that a refund will be granted, the learner is required to stop accessing any courses immediately if they want their application for a refund to be considered.

After one week of access of any course, refunds will no longer be considered.

No. Our online learning platform is available to you 24/7/365. Internet access is required.

Access to your course is available once you receive your login details via email from the Registrar’s office (please allow 1-2 days for your order to be processed after payment is received).  There is no set “start” or “end” date for courses. You may access the online classroom, course materials and exams at your leisure and at your own pace.

It is highly recommended that you attempt the exams shortly after completing the course material, while the information is still fresh in your mind.

For participants who enrolled in the ‘course and exam’ option, you will be enrolled in the exam at the same time you enrolled in the course. You simply have to click on the corresponding exam in your “My Courses” list to start taking the exam. Be sure you are ready before proceeding to take the exam. The exams are timed and once you start you must complete the exam within the allotted time limit.

If you are enrolled in a diploma program, you will be given access to the exam at at the same time as the course, the difference being you are able to select which courses you want to start, including multiple at the same time should you choose to do so.
