Payments/Transfers Refund and Cancellation Policy

We operate fair and equitable fees, student transfer and refunds policy for people who undertake training, purchase products or services from International Paramedic College Pty Ltd.

We hope you understand that a training business sells places in courses. In our short courses, like an airline or a hotel, once the date has passed, we cannot sell the place in that course again, which is why we ask for notice of any changes. We often shut off online bookings as courses fill up, so we lose any potential bookings and potential customers. When we reschedule your place in a course, we then lose another seat that could have been sold or for someone who needs to complete the course quickly for work purposes.

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.

If, after reading our policy, you would like to apply for a refund or other consideration, please do so by email to training@internationalparamediccollege.com.au Our non-refundable administration fee will be applied as indicated in this policy. Please allow up to 2 weeks for any refund to be processed.

No refunds are available for cancellations less than 7 days before practical training. All notice must be given in writing by email.

Notification of cancellation/withdrawal from unit/s of competency, withdrawal, or deferral from a course of study must be made in writing (email is acceptable) to International Paramedic College (IPC). We incur certain fees and administrative expenses in processing enrolment applications. If students do not attend courses and fail to give the required notice to us, we are unable to offer that place to another student.
