Enrolment Terms and Conditions
All courses provided by OLCI Construction Training Limited (the “Company”) are subject to the following terms and conditions:
1
The Company provides distance learning courses (“Theory Modules”), workshops and assessments (“Workshops and Assessments”) and training programmes consisting of distance learning, workshops and assessments (“Training Programmes”), all of which are referred to herein as “courses”.
2
The Company reserves the right to decline to accept any application for enrolment on any course. On certain courses, you may be required to undertake a telephone interview before enrolment. If your enrolment is accepted, but it transpires that the course is not appropriate for you, the Company shall be entitled to cancel your enrolment at any time.
3
Whilst the Company will take all reasonable steps to make courses as inclusive as possible, participation in any course requires that you are able to understand spoken English and write and read in English to GCSE level or equivalent. Workshops and assessments require a reasonable level of physical fitness and agility. If you have any doubt about your fitness to participate, you should discuss this with the Company before enrolment.
4
Upon enrolment for any course, you agree to pay for the course. This is subject (if applicable) to any right of cancellation you may have by law to cancel the course and any contractual cancellation right agreed by the Company. Please note that in addition to any rights you may have to cancel the course, you may have a separate right to cancel the credit agreement. Cancelling the credit agreement does not however automatically cancel your course and you will still be liable to pay for the course unless you have also exercised any right you may have to cancel the course.
5
For all courses, payment arrangements must be agreed before enrolment and may consist of payment in full before the course commencement, payment by instalments or loan finance. Where payment is by instalments, the Company may assign the right to receive unpaid instalments. Where loan finance is required, enrolment will be delayed until the loan finance has been agreed.
6
If you have elected to pay by instalments, you may terminate your participation on the course at any time by giving 2 months' notice in writing. The notice should be sent to the Student Liaison Officer at the Company's address set out in the enrolment form. If you do so, you will still be liable:
- to make any payment already outstanding at the date you give notice; and
- to make any further payment that falls due during the notice period.
7
Subject to clause 6, you shall pay your instalments promptly each month. If you default in making any payment when due, the Company shall have the right to exclude you from the course until the arrears are paid. The Company shall be entitled to make an additional charge for any additional costs incurred by it as the result of your default. If your default shall continue for more than 30 days, the Company shall be entitled to cancel your enrolment by giving you 2 months’ notice. If the company cancels your enrolment as a result of your default for more than 30 days, you will have to pay:
- any outstanding payments at the date of cancellation of your enrolment plus the monthly
- instalments falling due during your notice period;
- instalments falling due during your notice period;
- interest on all outstanding payments and payments due during your notice period calculated
- daily from the due date until date of payment, after as well as before any judgment, at the rate
- equivalent of 6.9% APR; and
- daily from the due date until date of payment, after as well as before any judgment, at the rate
- equivalent of 6.9% APR; and
- any other additional costs the Company incurs as a result of your default.
8
You will be entitled to cancel your enrolment in the cases referred to in clauses 16 and 17 where statutory cancellation rights apply.
