We have a general set of terms and conditions, which can be viewed here: ENROLMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

To summarise our cancellation and refund terms and conditions, in short, We are unable to refund monies for students who do not turn up for class. Course fees will not be refunded for cancellations received within eight working days of your course commencement date. The reason for this is that Intelligent Training Solutions has already secured the required trainers, training equipment, venue, course resources and printed materials for your attendance on the course; therefore, your enrolment has been taken into account during this preparation stage so course fees WILL NOT be refunded.

Any student who enrols in a course with less than eight days from the proposed course commencement date will not receive a refund in accordance with Clause 4.3 of our enrolment terms and conditions. PLEASE decide carefully when enrolling in a course with less than eight days between your enrolment and the commencement of your course. Intelligent Training Solutions does not have a cooling-off period for this course. Once your enrolment is processed, all payments made are non-refundable.

NOTE: WITHDRAWING FROM THE COURSE AT THIS STAGE WILL RESULT IN A VACANT POSITION WITHIN THE COURSE AND WILL DEPRIVE INTELLIGENT TRAINING SOLUTIONS AND THE COURSE OF THE REVENUE IT WOULD PROVIDE. 

Click the link above to view our full list of terms and conditions.

We don’t have a maximum class-size, instead, we have a ratio of 1 trainer for every group of students. A group of students consists of between 1 to 16 students. For example, if your club has 17 people in their course, Intelligent Training Solutions would provide two trainers even though the class would be taught together as one large group.

Our public courses are capped at 16 students (one group); however, if you have arranged for a private course for your club/team, then you can have as many people in your course as you like providing that you have the room to sit all your participants. Intelligent Training Solutions will provide additional trainers at no extra cost to you or your club for courses with larger participant numbers.  

Yes, however, on the day of your course you will need to bring along a clear photocopy of your first aid certificate together with the original copy of your first aid certificate for the trainer to verify.
