Participants will need to pay a full fee for all short courses and will receive an invoice for this fee which must be paid within 14 days of confirmation of their enrolment and prior to the commencement of training.
Corporate Clients will be charged for short courses after training and assessment occurs. Payment is due 14 days from the date of invoice.
Payment Arrears
Where fees become in arrears for two payment periods, participants may have their enrolment suspended until all outstanding fees have been paid.

Refund Policy - Non-Funded Full Fee Participants (Fee For Service)
Where the participant enrols in a short course (unit/s of competency), pays the applicable course fee and commenced on the same day, no refunds will apply.
Fees for short courses (unit/s of competency), where the fees paid are less than $1500 are non-refundable unless the cancellation is received and affected prior to the training commencement.
Fees for qualifications are refundable on a pro-rata basis, based on the fees already paid under the agreed payment plan. Where a participant has paid more than the amount for the unit/s of competency completed, the difference in the amount paid and the amount due will be refunded.
Changes to agreed service of AADA College:
AADA College will always endeavour to provide the service outlined in their enrolment to the best of our ability. However, at times, there are situations that are potentially out of our control or that prevent us from offering a training course in accordance with our delivery schedule. Where there are any changes to agreed services, AADA College will advise the participant, in writing as soon as possible.
Should AADA College make any changes that may significantly impact on the delivery of their training, including in relation to any new third-party arrangements or a change in ownership or changes to existing third-party arrangements, we will advise all learners as soon as practicable and with options open to the learners to continue, cancel or transfer their enrolment.
In the unlikely event that AADA College ceases to operate as a Supervising Registered Training Organisation (SRTO), we will advise all participants and their employers where applicable within 7 days of the decision being made. To ensure that all participants can continue their training program, AADA College will support all participants in transitioning to another suitably qualified and funded SRTO.
