This Refund Policy defines the conditions, process, and limitations under which refund requests may be submitted, reviewed, and resolved.

Refunds are exceptional measures, not automatic entitlements, and are assessed individually to ensure fairness, integrity, and consistency.

2. Scope

This policy applies to payments made for:

  • Training programs (open or in-house)

You may request a refund if:

  • You have accidentally made two payments for the same invoice, and

  • You provide evidence of both transactions (transaction ID, receipt, or bank confirmation).

3.2 Missing or Incorrect Application of Coupon Code

You may request a refund if:

  • You were formally eligible for a coupon, discount, or fee waiver,

  • The coupon was not provided or not applied correctly, and
