Undertakings

Training institute undertakes to provide training to the Participant based on the results of the preliminary knowledge and training needs assessment.

Participant undertakes to:

  • Participant authenticates his/her presence on the attendance sheet by signing it on each session day
  • In case of intentional or negligent damage, Participant will pay for the damage caused.
  • Participant or the sponsor of the training must pay the agreed tuition fee to the Training institute in the agreed schedule. In the case of late payment, a penalty equal to twice the central bank base interest rate will be charged from the date of the payment deadline. In the event of failure, the Training institute may enforce its claim through legal means.
Training Process

The Participant consents to the Training institute taking photographs, audio recordings, and video recordings of the training and the participants in order to document the implementation of the training. In addition, the Training institute is entitled to use and publish the recordings on his website and promotional materials. The Participant does not make any further demands regarding the recordings made.

If the Instructor is unable to attend, the Training institute provides a substitute or notifies the Participant of the absence of the lesson before the due date, and after the obstacle is removed, the Instructor is obliged to make up the missed lessons at a time agreed upon by the participants.

Absence from the course is allowed for a maximum of 20% of the training. In case of absence exceeding this, a separate consultation is recommended. If the result of the final exam does not exceed 60%, the course is considered unsuccessful. The number of times modified by Participants during the course cannot exceed 20% of all times. Subsequent cancellations will be considered hours kept. Notification to the Instructor before the due date of the class must be done within 24 hours, otherwise the given hour is considered to have been kept.

Conditions of delay: The Instructor is obliged to wait 20 minutes for the Participant, after which the Instructor may leave, and the session is considered to have taken place. The Participant must wait 20 minutes for the Instructor. After that, Participant can request that the Instructor be available at a realistic time specified by the Participant and make up the missed class.

Stopping the course before its finish does not entitle the Participant to reclaim all or part of the tuition fee already paid. In justified cases such as e.g. hospital or foreign travel, it is possible to use the value of unused services at a later date or to transfer them to someone else within 1 year. This must be reported and certified to the Training institute immediately (unutilized service is considered to be the time-proportioned tuition fee for the period following the personal notification), which will issue the certificate based on this.

If Participant has proven or assessed prior knowledge in relation to a module, modules or part of a module of the training, Participant is entitled to be exempted from completing these modules.
