Learning Tree International Commercial Terms and Conditions

Learning Tree International limits, the provision of its educational services to employees of corporations, partnerships and government organisations who are sponsored by their respective organisations. This agreement is between Learning Tree International and the employer.

GUARANTEE OF QUALITY

Our Guarantee of Quality provides our customers with the opportunity to attend the course of their choice—and then pay only if 100% satisfied with the value of the course. If a customer sends us a written notice of dissatisfaction with a course within  fourteen days of the course, the customer will have the option of retaking the course at no charge, applying prepaid tuition fees against another course attendance, receiving a full refund of any course tuition fees paid or a credit against any unpaid invoices for that course. If a customer used a Training Voucher or Training Passport for the course, the attendance would not count against the Training Voucher, Training Passport balance. This guarantee will only apply if the customer completes the longer of (a) attending one full day or (b) attending half of the course.

PAYMENT POLICY

  • Payment is required prior to attendance or the granting of access to a course or service. 
  • Visa and MasterCard are accepted.
    • Credit card charges will be in the currency of the country where the class takes place and will be converted by your credit card company at applicable exchange rates as determined by your credit card company.
    • Learning Tree International is not responsible for changes in costs due to exchange rates fluctuations.
    • Applicable taxes will be applied to your invoice.
    • When using prepaid products, applicable taxes will be deducted from the available balance.
    • Customer will maintain complete and accurate billing and contact information and must notify Learning Tree of any inaccuracies on an invoice prior to its due date.

SUBSTITUTIONS PERMITTED

We welcome the enrolment of a qualified substitute in an enrollee’s place provided the customer notifies us in writing before the first day of the course (excludes third-party certification courses). 100% of any prepaid course tuition fees will be credited against the course tuition fee of the substitute. However, the substitute may not take advantage of any discount programme for which he or she is not otherwise qualified. Training Passports and Subscription plans are non-transferable and therefore are not eligible for substitution. Substitutions for On-Demand Courses are excluded.

ENROLEE CANCELLATION/TRANSFER

Cancellations or transfers may be made without any penalty no later than fifteen days before the course start date. If a customer transfers to another course prior to fifteen days before the start date 100% of any prepaid tuition fees will be applied toward the fee for the subsequent course. If a customer transfers or cancels within fifteen days  of the course start date a fee equal to 100% of the course tuition fee will be due and payable for standard attendances. Attendances associated with a Learning Tree programme will be subject to a cancellation or transfer fee of £500. Training Passports and Flex Voucher Packs cannot be used after their expiration date, and a course cancellation or transfer by the customer will not extend a Training Passport or Flex Voucher Pack expiration date.

TRAINING PASSPORTS

Training Passports are non-transferable and can only be used to pay for course tuition fees for the named holder and cannot be used to attend courses either in excess of the specified number of courses or courses that start after the Training Passport expires. Training Passports are non-cancellable and non-refundable.  Learning Tree International reserves the right to exclude certain courses from eligibility in the Training Passport Programme.

FLEX VOUCHERS

FlexVoucher Pack agreements are purchase arrangements that provide discounts based on the initial committed volume of the customer purchase. FlexVoucher’s are transferable within an organisation and can be used to pay for the attendance of any qualified course participant. Customers may attend as many courses covered by the value of the FlexVoucher Pack purchase. The FlexVoucher Pack sales are final and non-refundable, with a start date beginning on the earlier of the first course attended or 30 days after the purchase date and expiration of 12 months after the start date.  Learning Tree reserves the right to exclude courses from eligibility in the FlexVoucher Programme or require more than one voucher for premium courses.

SUBSCRIPTION MEMBERSHIP PROGRAMMES

Subscription Membership Programmes provide annual access to learning resources of common interest, including community, and live events to programme members on an auto-renewing basis. Programme members will abide by the posted Community Guidelines and Learning Tree reserves the right to remove members for violations. Purchases under the programme are non-refundable with payment due in advance or upon invoice receipt. Designed to serve the needs of a single practitioner, the programme membership is not transferable, and sharing the membership account or content is not permitted. Subscription members not wishing to auto-renew, must provide at least forty-five days’ notice in writing of their instruction prior to the renew date. If forty-five days’ notice is not provided the renewed Subscription invoice is payable under the terms of contract.

PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATE PROGRAMMES

CERTIFICATE PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

The Professional Certificate Programmes are designed with an integrated learning approach, encompassing the following components

  • Knowledge and Skills Assessment: Access to tools to evaluate the participant's learning needs and progress.
  • Collaborative Learning: Participants and instructors share real-world experiences, knowledge, and tools improving the experience and learning outcomes.
  • Hands-On Training: Instructor-led sessions both in-person and virtually, on-demand courses, micro labs, and capstone projects.
  • Professional Coaching: Personalised guidance and support provided in accordance with the specific program.

CERTIFICATE PROGRAMME DURATION AND COMPONENTS

The duration and specific components included in each Professional Certificate Programme vary depending on the programme chosen by the participant. Details regarding each specific program’s period, included components, and certificate completion can be found on the following webpage: Learning Tree Professional Certificate Programmes | Learning Tree.

CERTIFICATE PROGRAMME ENROLLMENT AND ACCESS

Enrollment in a Professional Certificate Programme is individual-specific and cannot be transferred to another individual once attendance starts. Each enrollment grants access to the programme components to one designated participant. The programme fee must be paid in full before the programme starts. By enrolling in the Professional Certificate Program, participants agree to these terms.

CERTIFICATE PROGRAMME CANCELLATION AND TRANSFER POLICY

Upon enrollment in any of our programmes, participants agree to both attend and fulfil all payment obligations. Programme fees are non-refundable unless the participant provides written notice to cancel or transfer the programme 30 days or more prior to the programme start date.

CERTIFICATE PROGRAMME ATTENDANCE AND ACCESS TO RECORDED SESSIONS

We understand that participants may face challenges in attending live Hands-On Training sessions. To accommodate this, all live sessions will be recorded and made accessible to enrolled participants to ensure that all participants can benefit from the full curriculum, regardless of availability to attend live sessions.

ONSITE PAYMENT/CANCELLATION POLICY

The course tuition fee for on-site courses is due and payable within thirty (30) days following the course start date.

The employer of the participant is responsible for all other costs of any necessary accommodation, including Auxiliary Aides.
