If a student decides they do not want to commence the course during this period a refund will be granted. Once the Cenit College learning environment is accessed by a user, this is an indication of the use of service and acceptance of the T&C and conditions, and as a result, no refunds will be issued at that point.
After the cooling-off period, no refunds will be issued regardless of whether the Cenit College learning environment has been accessed or not. To claim a refund please email ask@cenitcollege.ie and we will act on a user request within 24 hours.
Users who purchase a course using a once-off payment method are entitled to transfer to another course of their choosing within 14 days of purchase (at the same or less monetary value) provided the user has accessed 0% of the course material. If the course costs are higher, they must pay the remaining balance to gain access to a new course.

• QQI Programmes: The college will avail of eProctoring as far as possible, this will allow learners to take their examinations online at home/office. A set schedule will be provided by the college that must be adhered to. Where applicable and in line with the relevant assessment criteria, certain modules may necessitate learners to undertake a supervised final examination, the duration of which may vary. The College offers the option to conduct final examination events in certain geographical locations if an online proctoring option is not available for that particular examination. Alternatively, depending on individual locations, arrangements for examinations may be made in an externally nominated centre, subject to separate requirements (please contact the college for further details regarding external exam events). Exam dates will be determined based on the availability of the exam schedule, and these dates are non-transferable. Examinations will be facilitated on a maximum of two occasions, allowing for a first attempt and a second repeat attempt. For physical attendance exams, a fee may be charged. Learners have the option to submit a request to change their exam date. This must be done in writing to the college at least two weeks ahead of the scheduled exam event, outlining the reasons for their request. This request must be supported with relevant evidence, such as a medical certificate, and may be approved or rejected by the examination officer. In the case of rejected applications, omitting supporting evidence, learners may transition to a repeat exam event where additional fees are applicable.
• ILM Courses: All ILM programmes require the completion of assignments, these can be completed at home and submitted to the college on assigned dates. These programmes do not include the examination cost, but these can be added to your purchase at checkout. Repeat examination costs are not included but may be purchased separately if required.
• PRINCE/SCRUM/Agile/ACCA/Green Project Management: All the examinations relating to these programmes can be completed online, remotely, and at a fixed time and duration. These programmes may or may not include the examination cost, please check the programme requirements for more information. Examination costs may be charged separately. Repeat examination costs are not included but may be purchased separately if required.
• Funded Programmes: If learners enter via a funded route, their exam certification costs will be covered by the client and terms and conditions are determined by the client. 

Please review the below for your chosen programme:

• QQI Programmes: When learners submit their enrolment application form for a QQI Programme will need to confirm that they can meet all the relevant entry requirements (if applicable) as listed on each course. Learners may also enter if they have relevant prior learning (RPL – Recognition of Prior learning.) All learners are asked to provide evidence of this upon enrolment and before payment is made. The recognition or validation of prior learning is a process by which prior learning is formally identified, assessed and acknowledged. Please contact the college if you have any queries on RPL.
• ILM Programmes: The entry requirements for ILM programmes can vary depending on the specific qualification or course. Please see the individual programme webpage for any entry requirements.
• PRINCE/SCRUM/Agile/ACCA/Green Project Management: The only programme in this suite of programmes that has a mandatory entry requirement, is the PRINCE2 ® Practitioner programme. Please see the individual programme webpage for any entry requirements.
• Funded Programmes: If learners enter via a funded route, we may be required to apply certain entry criteria, this will be detailed in the course application process.

Please review the below for your chosen programme:

• QQI Programmes: All certificates granted by QQI (the Irish National awarding body) necessitate the student to possess an Irish or UK PPS number (Personal Public Service Number) and other data. The lack of a PPS number renders learners ineligible to receive an award from QQI, as it is a certification requirement by QQI, for our programs. Learners without a PPS number will only receive a completion certificate from Cenit College. Please review the information required in our privacy policy.
• ILM Programmes: Requires specific learner information to complete the registration process. Please review the information required in our privacy policy.

QQI Programmes: Learners must ensure access to a professional environment for courses involving Skills Demonstrations to meet the assessment requirements of the course. This entails a minimum of 150 hours of work experience for Major awards and 30 hours for minor awards. For learners engaged in Placement or Practice modes of work experience, it is crucial to ensure that the placement setting aligns with the area of study, such as within a healthcare environment. The minimum hours specified in the program descriptions on each course can comprise current relevant work, whether paid or unpaid, and must be distributed throughout the entire study duration. Moreover, these hours must be under the supervision of a qualified mentor. Certain certificate areas may necessitate learners to undertake more extensive periods of work experience. To facilitate a seamless start to the course, Work Experience or Placement agreements must be in place and ready for initiation when the course commences.
