Any request to withdraw must be received in writing within the refund period in order to qualify for a full refund (less postage, handling and administration costs - minimum AUD $50). The refund period is 7 working days, starting the first day after the enrolment date*. The refund period ends after 7 working days from enrolment or as soon as you access your course material online, whichever comes first.

We do not offer a refund for change of mind. It is important that you take the time to select a suitable course. Our Course Advisors are trained to help you make the right choice, so please contact them if you have any questions at all.
