3.4 If we terminate or cancel or suspend your enrolment in accordance with Clause 6, we reserve the right to demand immediate payment for all fees due under these terms, even if the payment of which would otherwise not have been then due at that time, and may refer enforcement of such payment to lawyers, or debt collectors or credit reporting agencies.

3.5 Once enrolled, a student cannot cancel their enrolment without good cause. It is entirely up to TPL’s discretion whether your cancellation request is considered ‘good cause’.

4. Course Delivery

4.1 All online course materials are delivered to you when you are provided login credentials to the online learning software. Whether or not you log in or use the credentials is immaterial to your confirmation of enrolment.

4.2 We do not offer any refund except for the refund provided at Clause 6, which is only available to students who have successfully completed their entire course. Students who abandon or leave their courses without completion shall not be entitled to any refund or part refund. You warrant that prior to your enrolment in one of our courses that this important feature of our course offering has been explained to you and you understand the financial implications of your decision to enrol in a course with us and limited opportunity to obtain a refund.

4.3 The courses, workshops and masterclasses may be delivered to you via both or one of the following
methods:

  • in person (face to face) sessions with an Instructor Trainer
  • via online software. The online component may include a combination of, the following components:
  1. learning materials including reading items, and video items;
  2. information regarding upcoming practical assessments to be completed during face to face sessions;
  3. both short answer tests and multiple choice tests.

4.4 You confirm that the onus of ensuring all requisite resources to complete the course lies upon you. A failure on your part to secure the prerequisite resources shall not constitute a default on our part to deliver upon our services.

4.5 We may vary the method of delivery of the course or the services (in whole or in part), by providing you with reasonable notice in writing.

4.6 We may reschedule face to face session times, workshops and/or 1 on 1 sessions, by providing you with a minimum of 24 hours’ advance notice, including in circumstances where the number of students registered to attend the relevant session does not meet our minimum attendance requirements.

The next two points relate to the full Instructor Training Courses only:

4.7 A report will be generated each week that will outline if students have completed the corresponding e-learning material for the face to face session. This report will also double as a roll call for record keeping and be kept for the minimum of 3 years.

4.8 100% completion of all e-learning tasks and tests, as well as 100% attendance for all scheduled face to face sessions is required to be marked ‘complete’ for the course. Should you not be able to attend one or more of the face to face sessions, or part thereof, you will be required to book a make-up session(s) 1:1 with a designated TPL course presenter at your own cost. This should be booked at least 12 hours beforehand, at a time that suits all parties, and needs to be completed PRIOR to the next face to face weekend (usually giving a two week window). Please note that the Trainer may have limited availability and these 1:1 sessions should be booked at the earliest possibility. 1:1 sessions are available at a cost of $110 (ex GST) per hour. If a room hire fee is applicable, this cost is also payable by you. The Trainer will advise you when you book for your make-up session, how long will be required.

4.9 Deferral of the course will only be allowed in extenuating circumstances, and it is at TPL discretion whether this is granted. If course deferral is accepted, there will be a deferral fee of $600 (ex GST) applied, extra to your original course fee. You may not defer for periods longer than 12 months from your initial start date. Failure to do so will result in forfeit of your initial enrolment; this does not absolve you from your financial commitment to the TPL.

4.10 All relevant learning materials, tests and exams, practical assessments, and practicum hours, must be completed within 12 months from the date of the first face to face session. In extenuating circumstances, you may apply for an extension, and it is at TPL discretion whether this is granted. If course extension is accepted, there will be an extension fee of $200 (ex GST) applied, extra to your original course fee.

5.4 You are required to supply your payment credentials to us when submitting your enrolment request and agree that we may use these credentials to deduct any fees due in accordance with these terms.

5.5 It is your responsibility to ensure that your payment credentials are kept up to date, and that sufficient funds are available for us to deduct any fees due in accordance with these Terms.

    actual date of payment; and
  3. recover from you our debt recovery fees, including but not limited to, solicitors fees (on a full indemnity basis), court costs and collection agency fees.

5.7 By agreeing to these terms, you acknowledge and agree that periodic payment arrangements for course fees may be provided by a third party Company, i.e. a Credit Provider. Should you wish to make payment of your course fee by periodic payments, you do so on the basis of entering into a separate agreement with the Credit Provider. Your enrolment is dependent on acceptance of and compliance with the Credit Provider’s terms and conditions of service, which are available from the Credit Provider’s website and are available upon request. You must comply with the terms and conditions and are wholly responsible for doing so. In the event that you default on your payment arrangement with the Credit Provider, the Company is entitled to terminate your enrolment, with your fee still owing and recoupable.

5.8 We reserve the right to refuse or cancel your enrolment in a course at any time for any reason, including but not limited to:
