Fees Policy

All of our training courses attract fees. These fees are charged either directly to the participant or to the participant’s employer.  This is dependant upon the contractual terms signed by all relevant parties. The details of the fees are available from our friendly staff, however all fees are to be paid in advance unless negotiated in advance with The Change Network management.

Refunds Policy

Where The Change Network receives sufficient notice of cancellation of a course (at least 24 hours), a refund of fees may be made available. This refund will typically be paid in the same method that the fees were received, unless otherwise agreed to by The Change Network staff and the participant. In some special circumstances, refunds may also be granted at the discretion of the CEO.

Term and Conditions

Payment is required upon receipt of invoice (COD)

All changes/transfers and cancellations must be received in writing.

Transfers (for all days of a course) are available prior to the commencement of a course. If notification is received five (5) working days prior to course commencement, our administration fee is waived.

If a transfer is made less than five (5) working days prior to the commencement of a course, an administration fee of $50 plus GST ($55 incl.) per transfer, per person

Transfers are not available if notified any later than after 5pm on the working day prior to the course commencement.

If a cancellation is received five (5) working days or more prior to the course commencement no fee is payable.

If a cancellation is received less than five (5) working days prior to the course commencement, the full course fee is payable.

If there is non-attendance at the course and no notification received prior to course commencement, the full course fee is payable.

Due to facility and trainer booking requirements all on-site/in-house courses that are changed, transferred or cancelled, less than ten (10) working days prior to the commencement of a course, will incur an administration fee of 50% of the total course fee.
