4.1 DELIVERY – TRAINING COURSES

4.1.1  Delivery: Training Courses – Face To Face

For face-to-face training courses, an order confirmation will be provided at the time of the booking.

Delivery will occur when the participant attends the course – the date, time and venue for the course are all shown on the confirmation letter sent once the order is processed and it is the responsibility of the participant to ensure that they arrive punctually.

See refund policy regarding failure to provide adequate notice of non-attendance.

4.1.2  Delivery: Training Courses – Online Training

Delivery of online learning courses will commence upon the receipt of the order confirmation. At this time clear instructions will be provided on how to access the online course. Certain student information is required to be collected by government edict. This information is privacy protected.

4.1.3  Delivery: Certificates

In terms of online training, upon successful completion of the course, certificates (including Statements of Attainment for accredited training) will be self-generated and made available to the student via the Learner Portal.

For face-to-face training, a certificate or Statement of Attainment will be forwarded to the address nominated by the participant, or the school where the booking was organised. Only those participants who have paid for their course in full will have their certificates ready for delivery. Members who have purchased training on account (invoiced) should be reminded that payment for all courses must be received by the course start date to ensure prompt delivery of certificates.

Delivery time will take between 7-10 business days after the successful completion of the course– subject to full payment for the course having been made. All certificates will be delivered via ordinary mail unless other arrangements are made. An electronic copy of certificates/Statements of Attainment are kept by the QHA.

Notification of certificates not received by participants, up to 30 days after the course completion, will lead to the certificate being replaced free of charge. Notification of certificates not received by participants, beyond 30 days after course completion, will incur a replacement fee of up to $50. As with original certificates, full payment must be received for a replacement certificate before delivery can be made.

5.0       REFUNDS / RETURNS

                        5.1  TRAINING COURSE

                        Refunds / Returns: Training Courses – Face To Face

When cancelling face-to-face training course, written notification must be provided during business hours (8:30am to 5:00pm) at least 2 business days before the commencement of the training course. This notice should be emailed to training@qha.org.au. Refunds will not be granted for bookings where no written notice has been provided within the timeframe specified.

If initial payment for course was made via credit card and adequate notice is provided, a refund will be processed onto the original credit card. Where notice is provided within the specified timeframe, a participant, rather than being refunded may request to be transferred to another course date; in this case no refund is provided. All such transfers are done at the discretion of the QHA.

QHA reserves the right to reschedule a course at least 2 business days before its scheduled commencement in circumstances where a minimum number of participants have not been reached. In this situation participants who are already scheduled on the course will be given the option of a full refund or an option to be enrolled on another course date.

Cancellation of online learning courses may be arranged if a participant has not attempted the course.
