FEES/ FUNDING

NON-FUNDED PLACES
• For e-learning learners, the first assessment is usually included in the course fee unless advised otherwise.
• Assessments must be completed within the standard 8-week course duration, unless an extension has been approved by NEA.
• If a re-sit is required, additional assessment fees will apply. Further details are outlined below.
• For face-to-face courses, assessment fees and payment arrangements will be agreed separately.
FUNDED PLACES
• For e-learning learners, the first assessment is usually included in the course funding and therefore free of charge unless advised otherwise.
• Assessments must be completed within the standard 8-week course duration, unless an extension has been approved by NEA.
• If a re-sit is required, the first re-sit attempt may also be funded if completed within the timeframe and terms of the funded programme.

Important: Where necessary, we will endeavour to extend course deadlines. However, for funded places, any extension must remain within the timescales and conditions of the relevant funding programme. Most programmes operate on a financial year basis (1 April to 31 March), and funding cannot be carried forward into the following year. Therefore, all funded training and assessment activity must be completed by the end of the financial year in which the place was booked. Please note that assessments completed after the agreed deadline or outside the funding programme may be charged.

CANCELLATION TERMS AND CONDITIONS

The exam fee is generally included in the overall course fee. As outlined in the main course booking form, the following cancellation periods / charges will apply should the learner wish to cancel their chosen exam date once booked:
· Less than one weeks notice 75% of the fee will be payable
· Less than three weeks notice 50% of the fee will be payable
· Over three weeks notice will not incur a charge
· FUNDED PLACE – If you have been awarded a funded assessment place directly through National Energy Action (NEA), the standard cancellation fees outlined above do not apply. However, a fee to re-book onto a new date may be charged, particularly where no or little notice is provided.
· Repeated cancellations, late cancellations, and non-attendance may lead to the candidate or service becoming liable for assessment fees, regardless of whether the original assessment was funded. · Resit assessments resulting from confirmed plagiarism may also incur additional charges.
If are unable to attend, please advise NEA at least three weeks prior to the exam date so your place can be re-allocated. Failure to do so can impact on funding and we may be unable to re-book a funded exam place for you. Cancellations should be made in writing.
