If a buyer, having started the course, then withdraws from the course for any reason, it is not guaranteed that the participant will be allowed by the seller to resume attendance.

The buyer's re-registration form will be considered by the seller, using the application criteria. The seller cannot guarantee that an application to defer and re-register will be successful.

In cases where the buyer wishes to defer their place before the course they have been originally accepted onto has even started, the re-registration fee policy only applies where the request is received fewer than 30 days prior to the first day of the course (hence the full fee for the original course is due in full).

The buyer can only defer and re-register a course of the same type. Requests to defer and re-register onto a different course may incur a high fee.

The 15% re-registration fee can be waived in exceptional circumstances at the sellers discretion.
