The Standards for Registered Training Organisations require Hader Institute of Education to inform persons considering enrolment of their right to a statutory cooling off period. A statutory cooling off period (which is 10 days) is a period of time provided to a consumer to allow them to withdraw from a consumer agreement, where that agreement was established through unsolicited marketing or sales tactics. These include tactic such as door-to-door sales and telemarketing. A statutory cooling off period allows a consumer to withdraw from a sales agreement within 10 days of having received a sale contract without penalty.
It must be noted that Hader Institute of Education do not engage in unsolicited marketing or sales tactics and therefore a statutory cooling off period in not applicable to our learners who have enrolled into a program. For refund option in other circumstances, learners must refer to the above refund policy.
If Hader Institute of Education cancels or ceases to provide training, Hader Institute of Education must issue a full refund for any services not yet provided. The basis for determining “services not yet provided” is to be based on the units of competency completed by the learner and which can be issued in a statement of attainment at the time the service is ceased.
As an example: A learner enrolled in a course of 10 units of competency and paid $1,500.00 up front as the total course fee. The course was cancelled due to the trainer falling ill and the learner at that time had completed 4 of the 10 units. The learner’s enrolment would be finalised and the learner would receive a Statement of Attainment for the 4 completed units. The learner would also receive a refund of $900.00 which represents that value of the training not delivered.
Hader Institute of Education reserves the right to amend the conditions of the student’s enrolment at any time. If amendments are made that effect the student’s enrolment the student will be informed 7 days prior to changes taking effect. Students then have 28 days to submit an appeal from the date they were informed of the decision. Further information about appealing a decision is contained in the section relating to complaints and appeals handling.Protection under Australian Consumer Law
