In accordance with the Consumer Contracted Regulations 2013, Right to Cancel sections 29 (b) and 30 (b), no refund can be provided once course materials have been accessed or opened. It is incumbent on you to ensure the chosen course meets your needs before accessing the materials. In instances where course materials have been accessed, the full cost of the course is payable to Optima Training & Consultancy.

Once the initial payment is processed, whether that be a deposit or the full course fee, a specific duration commences. This period, known as the contemplation period, allows you to cancel your enrolment via a written request, providing the course materials have not been accessed. This must be within 14 days of the course being purchased.

It’s important to note that if a cancellation request is received less than 14 days before a live class is due to start, refunds will not be issued regardless of whether course materials have been accessed or not. This stipulation is put in place to accommodate for the planning and scheduling required for live sessions.

Moreover, Optima Training & Consultancy reserves the right to cancel any course at any time at their discretion. In such cases, affected participants will be informed promptly and appropriate steps will be taken to either reschedule or refund, depending on the specific circumstances.

    In the event a cancellation is permissible, administrative charges will be imposed to offset Optima’s operational expenses:

 

7.1      You have the right to cancel this Agreement within fourteen (14) days from the day after receipt of a payment made which secured your place on the course. If you do exercise your right to cancel as described in this Condition 7.1, you will receive a full refund of the price paid in accordance with our refunds policy set out in Condition 11.

7.2      Cancellation must be made by e-mail. You may not cancel by telephone. If you cancel, you must state your name, address and the reason for cancellation and send that request to studentsupport@optima-it.co.uk

7.3     If you are returning materials to us, we recommend that you get a free proof of postage certificate from the Post Office or send any parcel by Recorded Delivery. We regret that we cannot be responsible for items which never reach us or are damaged in transit. Please note that any postage & packaging charges made to us cannot be refunded, unless the Materials are faulty or damaged.

7.4      You will not have the right to cancel this Agreement under Condition 7.1 if any Software is accessed by you or any third party materials that are provided online have been accessed by you. This includes the requesting of recordings of a session you may not have been able to attend. This is deemed as accessing the material if we send a recording to you.

7.5 The extent of any refund you are entitled to will depend upon the time you cancel the Agreement, and whether you have paid the cost of the Online Learning Package up front or have agreed a Payment Plan with us for the cost of the Online Learning Package. Our refunds policy is set out in more detail in Condition 11.

8.              Availability and delivery

 

We will aim to fulfil your order in terms of dates agreed at enrolment. On occasion we may have to move 1 or more training days by a week or 2.
