COURSE REGISTRATION

“First-Come, First-Served”

All courses are filled on a “First-Come, First-Served” basis i.e. candidates who complete and register their application (preferably online), and pay their course fee will have their place guaranteed on the course and may pick up their study materials as they become available.

Candidates who have applied but not yet paid are not guaranteed a seat in the course nor are they allowed access to the study materials until payment is received.

Waiting List

If a course is full, candidates can ask to be placed on a waiting list and may be assigned a seat in the course should anyone not be able to attend the course for any reason and/or may apply for a seat on the following course.

The waiting list will also work on a “First-Come, First-Served” basis i.e. those at the top of the list will get first offer of a seat on the course.

Payment of Course Fees

Fee payment is expected as per the terms of your invoice. Candidates who fail to make payment according to the agreed terms will not be permitted to attend class until payment is received.

All participants are offered the same payment terms based on the following guidelines:
