Refund Policy FAQs

Quick answers to common questions about refunds

How long does it take to receive my refund after approval?

Refund processing times vary by payment method: 5-10 business days for credit/debit cards, 7-14 business days for bank transfers, 3-5 business days for digital wallets, and 10-15 business days for cheque payments. The timeline begins from the date of approval, not the date of request.

What if I change my mind after the refund period has ended?

After the refund eligibility period has ended, standard refunds are not available. However, in cases of genuine hardship or exceptional circumstances, we may offer alternatives such as course transfers (subject to availability) or credit for future courses. Each situation is reviewed individually.

Can I get a refund if I've already accessed course materials?

If you've accessed digital course materials, a reduced refund may be available depending on how much content you've viewed and how long you've had access. Physical materials can be returned for a partial refund if they are in original condition. Once materials have been significantly used or personalized, they become non-refundable.

What happens if I paid for a course bundle but only want to drop one course?

For course bundles, refunds are calculated based on the individual course prices, not the bundled discount. If you drop one course from a bundle, we will refund the proportional amount based on standalone pricing, and you will retain access to the remaining courses in the bundle.

Do you offer full refunds if I'm not satisfied with the course quality?

We stand behind the quality of our courses. If you're not satisfied with the educational experience, please contact us within the refund eligibility period. We'll review your concerns and may offer a full or partial refund depending on the circumstances. We also encourage students to share feedback so we can continuously improve our offerings.
