SERVICES
The Style Coaching Institute shall use reasonable endeavors to ensure that all software introduced onto the Learners’ machines will be free of computer viruses and has undergone virus checking procedures.
Services within the Online Diploma Course Package or within a Live Course event are allocated to a particular named individual and such allocation cannot be transferred to any other person. The Learner may not modify or exchange the Services within the Online Diploma Course Package or Live Courses.
Each course enrolment (either Online or Live Course) is valid for twenty-four (24) study months. Each Learner may only use the Services within their Course Package during the twenty-four (24) month study period immediately following the commencement date. Any Services that remain unused will expire on the second anniversary of the commencement date and shall be deemed used. The standard 24-month ‘study period’ acts as a great incentive for students to achieve their goal of graduation within a certain time scale, although the majority of students graduate within 6 – 12 months. For the appropriate fee, yearly or unlimited study extensions can also be requested, enabling Learners and graduates to have continued access to new content and updated resources when added to the eLearning Platform.
FEES
The Style Coaching Institute will invoice the Learner in respect of the fees due under their chosen Online or Live Course as applicable.
The Style Coaching Institute is not currently required to charge VAT on services supplied, therefore, the fees do not include VAT. The Style Coaching Institute reserves the right to charge VAT if and/or when it is required to by Governing Law. The Company shall notify the Client of any anticipated changes thirty (30) days prior to the changes taking effect.
Where the Learner’s accounting practices require the use of a purchase order number, the Learner shall provide a valid purchase order number to the Style Coaching Institute immediately upon the submission of their Learner Registration Form.
Re-examination fees: Standard course fees are inclusive of examination fees (no additional charge), except in the event of two (2) failures of a Learner to achieve the required Pass Grade. One (1) retake shall be permitted without charge, however further retakes shall be chargeable at thirty-five-Great-British-Pounds (£35 GBP).
Re-issue of certified documents fees: Standard course fees are inclusive of one copy of the Learner’s graduation documents sent to them by standard mail, at no additional charge. Learners are responsible for notifying the Style Coaching Institute of any alterations to the name or shipping address provided at the time of their original registration, as the Style Coaching Institute shall refer to this registration information when preparing the certified documents. Learners are responsible for ensuring the correct spelling of all names to be included on the certified documents. In the case of spelling or address errors, the Style Coaching Institute shall accept responsibility for reissuing a second copy of the Learner’s graduation documents, without charge, if the error was made by a staff member at Style Coaching HQ. However, if the Learner has provided incorrect details, or if a duplicate copy of the graduation documents is desired by the Learner, then a reissue fee of twelve-Great-British-Pounds (£12 GBP) plus a standard worldwide postal fee of five-Great-British-Pounds (£5) shall be chargeable.
Re-issue of certified documents fees (for items deemed missing in transit): Standard course fees are inclusive of one copy of the Learner’s graduation documents, dispatched to the shipping address provided on the Learner’s registration form (unless an alternative address has been requested by the Learner prior to dispatch). Graduation documents are prepared for dispatch within 14 days of the Learner’s graduation. Shipping times can vary, but Style Coaching Institute holds the expectation that delivery should be completed within 28 business days after dispatch. If the graduation documents fail to arrive within this expected timeframe, the Learner shall be required to confirm their shipping address and a reissuing fee of twelve-Great-British-Pounds (£12 GBP) plus a standard worldwide postal fee of five-Great-British-Pounds (£5) shall be chargeable to the Learner. For some countries, it may be advisable for the Learner to request an upgrade from the standard shipping method to an express courier service. The Style Coaching Institute can send the graduation documents via a worldwide trackable service using DHL. The cost for this varies depending on the shipping destination but a member of staff at Style Coaching HQ can provide a quote and payment can be made by the Learner via PayPal invoice.
Optional shipping upgrade for physical course books: In the case of Online Courses, the Style Coaching Institute will post a package of physical course materials to the Learner by standard mail, at no additional charge. These bonus course materials are printed copies of the digital course materials (accessible by the Learner online immediately after enrolment). This service can take up to 28 days for locations outside the UK and USA. An Express Courier service is available for an additional fee of fifty-Great-British-Pounds (£50 GBP). This enables the Style Coaching Institute to provide a trackable and guaranteed service to any worldwide address and guarantees delivery within 10 working days.
Optional learning extension fees: Each course enrolment (either Online or Live Course) is valid for twenty-four (24) study months, at no additional charge. If desired, a request for a twelve (12) month extension of the standard twenty-four (24) months’ study period can be requested in writing by the Learner accompanied by the appropriate extension fee of one-hundred-and-twenty-Great-British-Pounds (£120 GBP) for each 12 month extension required. Alternatively, an unlimited extension can be requested for a one-time fee of two-hundred-and-ninety-five-Great-British-Pounds (£295 GBP).
TERMS OF PAYMENT FOR ONLINE & UK LIVE COURSES
The fees for Services provided by the Style Coaching Institute in relation to the Online Diploma Courses shall be due and payable by the Learner a minimum of one (1) Working Day prior to the commencement of the Learner’s course.

CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY FOR ONLINE COURSES
Upon receipt of the fees and the corresponding submission of an ‘Enrolment Form’, the Style Coaching Institute shall send by email to the Learner their unique login details for their online materials / eLearning Course Package and a complete bonus package of printed training books will be ordered on behalf of the Learner (for delivery to the shipping address specified on their Enrolment Form).
Learners are to be fully aware that the Online Style Coach™ Diploma Course is a digital product delivered via the internet, therefore, once the enrolment process is completed and the Learner’s eLearning login details have been delivered via email, the course shall then be deemed as commenced. The Learner acknowledges that they must waive their consumer rights to a 14-day refund before the digital content (Online Diploma Course) can be provided. Once the Learner’s course fees have been paid the fees are non-refundable and all sales are final.

As a gesture of goodwill, refund requests are considered on a case by case basis and are issued at our sole discretion.

In this case, a new ‘Enrolment Form’ would need to be submitted by the substitute Learner. Under no circumstance can a refund request be granted if the Learner has logged onto the eLearning Platform and accessed the digital course files (user access logs are monitored and recorded for training and security purposes).
CANCELLATIONS OF LIVE COURSES IN THE UK
All live courses proposed by the Style Coaching Institute are to be considered ‘pending’ until sufficient enrolments have been submitted, after which time, the status will be amended to ‘confirmed’.
A minimum of six (6) weeks’ notice will be given to Registered Learners if Style Coaching Institute has not received sufficient enrolments for a live course to proceed on the proposed commencement date. The status of the course will then change from ‘pending’ to ‘cancelled’ or ‘postponed’.

In the event that a course is ‘cancelled’: Registered Learners will be entitled to a 100% refund of any fees paid to Style Coaching Institute (course fees and accommodation booked through the Company).
In the event that a course is ‘postponed’: Registered Learners will be offered alternative course dates, but if these dates are not acceptable to the Learner, they may instead request a) a full refund, or b) a transfer of any fees paid to an Online Diploma Course (with a partial refund for any overpayment).
At the time of the Learner’s registration, a booking deposit will be required. This deposit is refundable or transferable up to eight (8) weeks before a course is due to start. The full course fees will then be required eight (8) weeks prior to the course commencement date.
Please note that no refund will be made for bookings cancelled, by the Learner, less than eight (8) weeks before the event, or if Joining Instructions have already been dispatched to the Learner via email. No refund will be made for partial or complete non-attendance.
