By agreeing to the Terms anf Conditions of Enrolment below, I have also read and understood the Employer Non-Levy Contract Service Agreement
1. Montessori Apprentice Academy requires students to submit all coursework as directed, attend course sessions, and sit all examinations, and abide by the regulations given in the current edition of the Student Handbook.
2. If your coursework is incomplete, of an unacceptable standard, or if you do not pass the final diploma or certificate examinations, a Certificate and/or Diploma will not be awarded. Montessori Apprentice Academy undertakes to give you all necessary support to enable you to complete your chosen course successfully.
3. If you are struggling to complete your assignments to pass standard, even where additional tutorial support has been given, Montessori Apprentice Academy may counsel you to defer completion of your course until after you have taken an additional course or courses to boost your study skills, for example, a written English course if you are having problems expressing yourself in written English. There is no penalty for deferral. You may also be counselled to withdraw from the course, in which case there will be no refund of course fees already paid, but no further requirement to pay any remaining balance.
4. Montessori Apprentice Academy reserves the right to require you to terminate a course at any time: if you do not fulfill the requirements of the course and are not responding positively to our efforts to support you to succeed; or where your conduct gives grounds for dismissal; or where your work consistently gives evidence of plagiarism.
5. If you cannot submit your assignment by the end of month deadline, please communicate with your assessor. We require you to submit a deferral form with a valid reason to defer. You are only permitted to defer your course once for a period of up to 6 months. Prior to the deferral you must adhere to the once per month submissions or may also be counselled to withdraw from the course, in which case there will be no refund of course fees. In these situations, there will be no refund of course fees already paid, and you will remain liable to pay the balance of the course fee.
6. If course fees and/or examination fees are unpaid, or only partially paid, a Certificate and/or Diploma will not be awarded.
7. Your date of enrolment is the date on which we receive your first payment. At this point, your enrolment becomes a contract and you become bound by these terms and conditions.
8. You have a 14-day cooling-off period from this date when you can cancel your registration and any payment made will be refunded to you, less an administration charge of £50.00. Once the cooling-off period has expired you can decide to withdraw from the course, but no refunds of any payments made are normally given.
9. Action will be taken to ensure payment is made of any outstanding fees, and any expenses incurred by Montessori Apprentice Academy in this process, whether by means of a debt collection agency or through the courts, will be added to the outstanding bill, together with interest accumulated.
10. Where you have applied for funding from the relevant local authority or other body, and the payment of all or part of the funding to Montessori Apprentice Academy is dependent upon you completing the course, in the event that you choose not to complete the course you will reimburse Montessori Apprentice Academy for the course fee that would have been
MAA updated on January 2023 covered by the funding you have forfeited.
11. Courses are not transferable to other persons.
12. In the event of a Diploma student attending an apparatus workshop, there is no refund due.
13. Montessori Apprentice Academy reserves the right to vary the published course schedule or curriculum components at any time should circumstances so dictate.
14. Any course materials, whether written, diagrammatic, photographic, electronic, or in any other format, and all associated documentation that is the intellectual property of Montessori Apprentice Academy and are made available to you as a registered student for your sole and exclusive use as you follow your chosen course of study may not be photocopied or reproduced in any way, nor disseminated to other people without the express prior written permission of Montessori Apprentice Academy.
15. The Complaints and Appeals Procedures detailed in the Student Handbook are to be followed in the event of any grievance arising.
16. Montessori Apprentice Academy safeguards the confidentiality of its students and associates in line with its Policy on Confidentiality, Data Protection, and Whistleblowing. It is your responsibility to notify us of any changes which may be relevant to your study records.
17. For those completing the Montessori Diploma combined with Early Years Educator Level 3, all points above apply. Should you wish to terminate the course we require this notice in writing. The course duration is up to one year, should you decide to terminate during this period we reserve the right to claw back the percentage of the cost for being on program as well as registration fees. In the event of a Diploma student attending an apparatus workshop, where no refund is due.
