This policy details the conditions under which Learning Dev Academy (LDA) will reimburse you for a Course Fee that you have already paid.
At any moment, we reserve the right to review, revise, or update this policy. If we decide to make changes to this policy, we will let you know and make the new policy available to you.
General
Learning Dev Academy (LDA) offers a variety of services, including short courses, facilitated workshops, webinars to help you learn new things and advance in your chosen field.
Binding agreement
Your enrollment in a Course offered by Learning Dev Academy (LDA) is subject to the following Terms and Conditions, which combined with the Learning Dev Academy (LDA) Refund Policy and the Learning Dev Academy (LDA) Privacy Policy constitute the agreement between you and Learning Dev Academy (LDA).
Course fee
You agree to pay the Course Fee using the method indicated on the enrollment form, which may exclude GST. You further agree that the entire Course Fee is due regardless of whether or not the Course is completed.
If you are under 18:
- By enrolling in a Course offered by Learning Dev Academy (LDA), you affirm and acknowledge that you have obtained parental or
- guardian permission to do so and that they will be responsible for paying the Course Fee on your behalf.
Course enrolment, commencement and duration
Payment in the agreed upon amount constitutes full enrollment in the course. The length of time you’ll be required to devote to the Course is detailed on the course website, in the initial email, and/or when you sign up (Course Completion Date).
If you are unable to finish the Course before the Course Completion Date, you can request more time by following the steps outlined below. Learning Dev Academy (LDA) will withdraw your enrollment if you do not request extension.
Course materials
Unless otherwise specified in the Course description, all course materials are provided either electronically or in physical form.
You should check with Learning Dev Academy (LDA) ahead of enrollment to see if the programme you’re interested in has downloadable Course Materials. No other use of downloading Course content is permitted.
Learning Dev Academy (LDA) serves as a portal to any online course materials that may be made available to you. At the time of enrollment for self-paced courses, or at least 5 days before the start of class, students will get their login information. Although the Learning Dev Academy (LDA) LMS platform is usually accessible around-the-clock, seven days a week, there are times when it will be down for maintenance. In the event that you are unable to access the Learning Dev Academy (LDA) LMS, Learning Dev Academy (LDA) will make alternate arrangements for the distribution of your Course Materials.
Course extension
All requests for additional time in a course must be submitted in writing no later than 7 days before the original course end date. A one-time extension of three months is available for self-paced courses upon request. Assignments submitted post the course end date will be marked as late.
Course transfer
Within the first seven days of your Course Start Date, you may switch to another Learning Dev Academy (LDA) Course at no additional cost. This is contingent upon the following:
- You have three weeks from the date the course officially begins to submit your transfer request.
- You can either pay the difference between the Enrollment Fees for the two Courses (if there is one) or transfer into a Course at the same level and fee value.
- A $150 Administration Fee is due at the time of the application.
Both your Course Instructor and the Experience Team must provide their permission before you may transfer to a different course. - If you need to request a transfer more than 21 days after the Course Start Date, you should get in touch with the Experience Team; whether or not your Campus Director approves the transfer is ultimately up to them.
- There is a single time you’re allowed to switch to a different Course.
If you need to request a transfer more than 21 days following the Start Date of your course, you should get in touch with the Campus Director, who will decide whether or not to approve it. - You are capped switching to a different Course once only.
Payments
You can pay the Course Fee using the Learning Dev Academy (LDA) payment portal.
You must obtain the approval of the cardholder to use their credit or debit card to pay the Course Fee if it is not issued in your name.
At the time your payment is authorised, the Fee (less any rebates or credits applied) will be charged to your credit card and a receipt will be made available for you to print.
After a payment has been made, it cannot be retracted under any circumstances. Even if you pay the Course Fee, it doesn’t mean you’ll automatically learn everything there is to learn.
Learning Dev Academy (LDA) cannot be held responsible for any fees your credit card company may charge you.
Direct debit
To officially sign up for a Course, you need to fill out an Enrolment Form and pay either a deposit or the full Course Fee. We do not release certificates until the whole Course Fee has been paid, even if you enrol using our flexible payment plan that allows you to pay in instalments by direct debit. Learning Dev Academy (LDA) may charge you a dishonour fee in addition to any other fees incurred as a result of a payment being declined under a direct debit payment plan owing to insufficient funds.
If full payment is not received, Learning Dev Academy (LDA) has the right to cancel your enrollment and refuse to provide your Certificate/Statement of Attainment.
Refunds
Unless otherwise agreed with Learning Dev Academy (LDA), you will receive 90% of tuition fee refunded if the Course is terminated up to 7 days from the Course Commencement date.
