COURSE REGISTRATION

A participant is successfully enrolled for the course once an invoice is generated.

E-LEARNING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Where the Programme purchased includes an e-learning component, you agree to the following additional terms:

1. Programme purchased

You are purchasing the fixed and completed edition of the e-learning programme available at the time of purchase (the E-learning Programme). The E-learning Programme includes the pre-recorded videos, digital learning materials and module assessments, where applicable, described on the relevant programme page. Your purchase is not a subscription and does not include future editions or updates unless expressly stated otherwise. Where the E-learning Programme forms part of a broader qualification or certification programme, your purchase does not include any physical or virtual class, workshop, capstone module, examination or assessment unless expressly included in your registration.

2. Delivery

The E-learning Programme is delivered when your account is activated and the complete E-learning Programme content is made available to you. You must notify us at membership@isca.org.sg within seven calendar days of activation if you cannot access any material part of the E-learning Programme. Your decision not to start or complete the E-learning Programme does not affect delivery once the complete content has been made available to you.

3. Guaranteed access period

You will have access to the E-learning Programme for a period of 2 months. The guaranteed access period starts when your account is activated and the complete E-learning Programme is made available to you.

4. No continuing services

Unless expressly stated otherwise, your purchase does not include content updates, future editions, personalised feedback or other continuing services.

5. Platform access

Any continued availability of the E-learning Programme through our online platform after the guaranteed access period is provided for your convenience. It is not a subscription, an extension of the guaranteed access period or a commitment to provide continuous or indefinite hosting. Subject to applicable law, we may change, suspend or discontinue such access at any time. Your ability to access the E-learning Programme after the guaranteed access period on one or more occasions does not create any right to continued access. Where downloading is permitted, you are responsible for downloading and retaining the relevant materials.

6. Assessments, certificates and digital badges

Where applicable, a certificate, digital badge, certification or professional designation will only be awarded after you have satisfied the requirements for the relevant Programme. These requirements may include completing specified e-learning modules, attending a capstone module, completing an assessment or examination, achieving the required result and satisfying any applicable membership or experience requirements. Completion of the E-learning Programme alone does not guarantee the award of a certificate, digital badge, certification or professional designation. The issue of a certificate or digital badge does not extend your access to the E-learning Programme.

7. Permitted use

You receive a non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the E-learning Programme content for your personal learning.
You must not share your account or login details, allow another person to access the E-learning Programme through your account, distribute the content or use it for commercial purposes without our written permission. All intellectual-property rights remain with ISCA or its licensors.

8. Fees and refunds

The E-learning Programme fee is charged for delivery of the fixed E-learning Programme content and the guaranteed access described above. The E-learning Programme cannot be cancelled, deferred, switched, transferred or withdrawn after it has been activated, except where required by law or expressly approved by ISCA. Except where required by law, or where we fail to deliver a material part of the E-learning Programme and do not remedy the failure within a reasonable period, fees are non-refundable after delivery. Your failure to access, start or complete the E-learning Programme, satisfy a prerequisite, pass an assessment or obtain a certificate, digital badge, certification or professional designation does not entitle you to a refund. Where the Programme includes both e-learning and a physical or virtual class, workshop, capstone module or examination, the cancellation, deferment or withdrawal of the scheduled component does not automatically cancel the e-learning component or entitle you to a refund of the fee relating to e-learning that has already been delivered.

NO CANCELLATION

There will be strictly NO cancellation once the participant is successfully enrolled for the course.

NO-SHOW

There will be strictly NO refund for the no-show.

ADMINISTRATIVE REQUEST

For requests pertaining to changes required on items (billing name/entity, name of participants to be reflected onto the invoice/certificate, entity billing address, etc) in the invoice and/or certificate after they have been generated, there will be an administrative fee of $43.60 (with GST).

NON-ATTENDANCE DUE TO MEDICAL/COMPASSIONATE REASONS

When a participant cannot attend the course due to medical or compassionate reasons, the participant or corporate user/member should submit an appeal for withdrawal via the ISCA eServices Portal at least 3 working days after the course. Approval may be granted with supporting documents on a case-by-case basis. If approved, a refund of the course fee will be processed, if payment has been made.

REQUEST FOR SUBSTITUTION OF PARTICIPANT

Substitution of participants is not allowed for individual registration (under personal billing). It is also not permitted for E-learning courses, Bundle/Prepaid Packaged courses and when funding has been applied.

Substitution of participants is allowed for corporate registration (under company billing) unless otherwise indicated.

Corporate user/member may request for the substitution of participants via the ISCA eServices Portal prior to course commencement. A top-up fee will be levied in the case where an ISCA member participant is substituted by a non-ISCA member. No refund will be made if a non-ISCA member participant is substituted by an ISCA member. Other than the top-up fee (if applicable), no administrative fee will be charged for substituting participants.

REQUEST FOR DEFERMENT/ SWITCH/ WITHDRAWAL OF COURSES

Deferment, switch and withdrawal are not allowed for E-learning courses and participants who are successfully enrolled for the Bundle/Prepaid Packaged courses.

Deferment to Another Session

When a participant is unable to attend a programme, he/she may request to defer to another session (subject to available dates) via the ISCA eServices Portal. An administrative fee of $109.00 (with GST) will be charged for the ISCA Sustainability Professional Certification Series, ISCA Financial Forensic Accounting Qualification and the ISCA Professional Business Accountant Qualification.

Switch to Another Course

A participant may request to switch to another course via the ISCA eServices Portal. A top-up fee will be charged if he/she switches to a course with a higher fee. No refund will be made if the participant switches to a course with a lower fee. An administrative fee of $109.00 (with GST) will be charged for the ISCA Sustainability Professional Certification Series, ISCA Financial Forensic Accounting Qualification and the ISCA Professional Business Accountant Qualification.

Course Withdrawal

When a participant cannot attend a course, he/she or the corporate admin can submit an appeal for withdrawal via the ISCA eServices Portal. Approvals, with supporting documents, will be granted on a case-by-case basis after an administrative fee of $109.00 (with GST) is made. If approved, a refund of the course fee, less the administrative fee, will be processed if payment was made during the enrolment.

Funded Courses

If funding has been applied, the participant may request to defer to another session, switch to another course or withdraw from the course by sending an email to qualifications@isca.org.sg. The respective administrative fees will apply.

In the event Skills and Workforce Development Agency (SWDA) rejects the training grant or claims application, the Company (company-sponsored applicant) or Participant (self-sponsored applicant) is liable for the full course fee (inclusive of GST). For changes required to items on the invoice after it has been generated, there will be an administrative fee of $109.00 (including GST).

Government funding and subsidies are subject to the eligibility criteria and effective dates determined by the relevant funding authority. Funding subsequently approved for a programme will not ordinarily apply to earlier course runs retrospectively.
