  • The student / subscriber acknowledges and accepts, that this allowance of 2 days from the day, date and time of their enrolment is considered to be the student's 'Cooling Off Period' for their course enrolment.

NON-DISCOUNTED COURSES, PLEASE NOTE AND UNDERSTAND AS THIS RELATES TO ALL COURSES AND ENROLMENTS WITHIN OUR WEBSITE - NO EXCEPTIONS:

 

In the unlikely event that you do require cancellation and / or refund of your student enrolment and only on the basis that it is approved by RETA, based on the aforementioned Terms as stated within this cancellation and refund policy:

Please note that a non-negotiable cancellation and administration fee of $100 will be retained from any course enrolment cancelled within the cooling-off period (48 hours).

Additionally, a minimum payment of $250 will be withheld from any course enrolment after 48 hours from the enrolment date / time, and persons will ONLY be eligible for this refund if they have not logged into or accessed the learner portal.

These conditions are due to both Intellectual Property being provided and, administrative time invested at the benefit of the student prior to cancellation, along with associated fees and charges being incurred by our business for payment.

As mentioned, the reason forfeiture of the above fees is due (in part), to Real Estate Training Australia (RETA) being charged a payment processing fee fro the various payment facilities (STRIPE, AfterPay, ZipPay, Humm) which we (RETA) are unable to recover.

STUDENT INTERNAL PAYMENT PLAN ENROLMENT:

If a student has elected to enrol into the RETA Accelerated Agent Program by way of the interest-free student payment plan, they acknowledge and accept that they have read and understand the following terms and conditions of their student payment plan.

The student accepts that the minimum weekly payment amount is $50.
The student accepts that an upfront deposit is required for accepting and activating their enrolment, which is a minimum amount of $150.

The student accepts that (based on the above), the minimum upfront payment for a students enrolment into a payment plan with RETA is $200.

The student agrees that their nominated credit/debit card will be charged by RETA in accordance with the student's weekly payment plan subscription and all payments made are completely non-refundable in the event of student cancellation.

The student hereby also accepts that their enrolment into any accredited training courses and assessments will not be active until their course fees are paid for in their entirety (in-full). The student further accepts that they will not receive complete or unrestricted access to their learning materials or courses, until such time as their course fee's have been paid in-full (100% paid). This is non-negotiable. The student may receive partial access to their course materials, however this will be at the sole discretion of RETA and no exemptions will be made for any reason. It is the student's responsibility to action any additional payments to gain early-access to their accredited training courses and assessments by contacting Student Support (support@reta.edu.au) directly to request a payment invoice.

No cooling-off period applies to subscription or payment plan based enrolments and therefore, nor refunds will be granted or provided under any circumstances, as the student may elect to cancel their subscription at any time.
