Refunds and Course Cancellation Policy

Your enrolment in our courses is acceptance of our fees, refund policy and our terms and conditions set out here, on our website and in our student handbook. Please read and review these policies before enrolling in your course. Please contact us if you have any further questions.

When a student enrols in a course offered by International Paramedic College Pty Ltd and pays a course fee, it means a binding contract is created between the student and International Paramedic College. Notification of cancellation/withdrawal from unit/s of competency, withdrawal, or deferral from a course of study must be made in writing to International Paramedic College (IPC). Any refunds are made by bank deposit. To apply for a refund, you should email your request to: training@internationalparamediccollege.com.au

Late Students/ Early departure

Students who arrive late, after the scheduled course start time, may be denied access to training and be required to pay an additional 25% of original course fees to rebook an alternative date.

Failure to attend training a second time will null and void any offer of course transfer.

Refunds will not apply to any fees paid

No refund is available if students leave before completing the course/unit of competency. However, if you wish to finalise incomplete units of competency at a future course, the original fee can be used as a credit towards that course plus an admiration fee to reschedule your booking. This offer is available within a 2 weeks period from the initial training date. Because of the nature of competency-based training and assessment, you may be required to attend the full course again.

Fee Protection

We are aware of our obligations as a Registered Training Organisation to protect any student fees paid in advance. To this effect, we have the following policy in place: we do not collect fees in advance of more than $1500

Payment Schedule

Where course fees are over $1500 in total, students will have to sign an agreed payment plan on enrolment. This plan will give payment dates and the amount of the instalment. It is your responsibility to ensure this payment is made. We will charge an additional 10% if we do not receive the payment and have to contact you to make arrangements to pay.

If there is default on the payment plan, the following may occur:

  • Suspension from accessing or attending training and assessment until the outstanding debt is paid
  • Referral to a debt collection agency after a period of 60 days

Fees for RPL

Fees for credit transfer may apply as per our published schedule of fees. Fees for RPL will depend on the number of units applied for and a price will be supplied on initial enquiry or application.

Replacement of Certificates or Statements of Attainment

We charge an administration fee to replace a Certificate or Statement of Attainment. All requests for replacements must be made in writing. You should allow 21 days from receipt of a request to delivery.

We operate fair and equitable fees and refunds policy for business and organisations who undertake training with us.
