Where we agree to supply Products to you permanently or on an ongoing (continuous) basis, such as by subscription, they shall be provided for a minimum fixed period of time (the ‘Minimum Duration’). The length of the Minimum Duration will depend on which package or product you have selected to purchase and is provided on the Website.

Any change to those policies or these Conditions is required to be made by law or governmental authority

Refund Policy

This part of the conditions explains the procedure that you must follow if you want to cancel your course registration agreement.

Where an online course/e-document/pdf document has been purchased by the customer, providing the course material has not been accessed online within 14-days of enrolment we will provide a refund.

Risk and Title

The goods will be at your risk from the time of delivery.

Your course enrolment is not transferable, you may not re-sell or attempt to transfer your course to another person, under any circumstance.

Your course will be an independent course delivered by De Montfort College.

We are unable to accept liability if your qualification is not recognised or employment is not gained after completing a course. All courses are completed by home study with no attendance at the college. Courses may require students to have practical assessments in the relevant workplace and it is the students prerogative to ensure they have a relevant work placement.

Please note that all students are requested to make a copy of their assignments before submitting them to the college because under no circumstances will assignments be returned.

Students have 6 months to complete the Award courses and 12 months to complete all other courses, commencing from the date we receive their individual enrolment. If the student is unable to complete their course in this time period, this period may be extended at the discretion of the college and extra fees may apply. Course completion is defined as when each and every course assignment is passed and the college can claim the qualification certificate. If a student has a break in their study of over 3 months whereby no work is submitted for a period of 3 calendar months, students should notify the college in writing by sending an email to info@dmc.ac or a letter to 1 Boathouse Meadow Park, Cherry Orchard Lane, Salisbury, SP2 7LD to let the college know. Failure to do so may result in the student’s course being terminated.

Ownership of the goods will only pass to you when we receive full payment of all sums due in respect of them including VAT and the cost of delivery (in the case of goods).

Work-Placement

It is the student’s responsibility to arrange access to the working environment if required. We advise students to arrange this prior to enrolment. De Montfort College does not arrange placements for students. Any agreement for placement is between the student and employer. Please ensure you are able to access your placement for the duration of your course. Please ensure your placement is working under the direction of a qualified teacher from Year 1 (ages 5 and above). Nursery class placement, midday supervisor, early years and lunchtime assistant are invalid. De Montfort College is not responsible if your offer of placement is withdrawn.

De Montfort College is not responsible for any working environment injuries that occur within students work placement.
