Terms and conditions of enrolment
Terms and Conditions
Please note that your acceptance on the course constitutes a binding agreement between the Institute of Legal Secretaries and PAs (“the Institute”) and yourself. Students must agree to abide by the Terms and Conditions outlined as follows.
Evening Class Students
Requirements for Admission
We require Students to have a good typing speed, to be computer literate, to have an understanding of word processing programs such as Word and to have a good standard of spoken and written English. If you do not have these skills, we strongly recommend that you take the additional courses we offer to be able to gain employment. Alternatively, you can gain these skills through another training company or college.
Cancellations/Refunds
Cancellation of a course place can be made up to 24 hours before the course starts. A refund will be issued within 21 days minus a £15 administration charge, once your Student Membership certificate has been returned to us.
When you have been offered a place on the course and it has started, you are not entitled to a refund if you drop out – under any circumstances. We have 25 places to offer Students and if you take one of those places, you must pay for it in full.
Outstanding Course Fees
When course instalments are overdue and your payment plan is not honoured, you will be contacted by the Institute to make a payment. If payment is not made within 14 days of the due instalment, formal debt recovery action will be taken immediately.
Transferring Courses
If you would like to transfer your course place to another date before the course has started, no extra fees will apply. If the course has started, an extra charge of £200 will apply on top of the original £595 course fee.
Non-transferability of Course
Your course place is not transferable to any other party.
Course Duration
Your course fees include tuition for the twelve week course period and support is available until you complete your coursework. There is no time limit in which to submit your coursework, although we recommend that you send it to us as soon as you can. You will not have to pay any extra fees if you require updated course material, which we suggest you request if you take longer than six months to complete the course.
Coursework Re-Takes
Students are not charged any extra fees for tests or assessments they need to re-take.
Assessment and Certification
All tests and assessments will be set and the marking undertaken by the Institute, and will be the sole determinant in making awards. All assessments will be taught and conducted in accordance with the Institute’s regulations and procedures. Certificates are only awarded to those who pass the course after full completion of their coursework.
Refusal of Admission/Expulsion
The Institute reserves the right to refuse admission or expel any Students for improper conduct or any conduct that interferes with the wellbeing of other Students, staff or the reputation of the Institute.
