Cancellation, refund & transfer policy — View full terms
We understand that plans can change. The following conditions apply when you cancel, request a transfer or do not attend:
Cancellations and refunds
- 7 days or more before your scheduled course start: You may cancel and receive a refund, less the disclosed cost of any eLearning, access codes or training materials already supplied.
- Fewer than 7 days before your scheduled course start: No refund is available. You may request a transfer under the transfer policy below.
- Bookings made within 7 days of the course start: The no-refund period applies immediately. You may only request a transfer under the transfer policy below.
- Non-attendance: No refund or automatic transfer applies if you do not attend your course.
Transfers
- 7 days or more before your scheduled course start: No transfer fee applies.
- More than 24 hours but fewer than 7 days before your scheduled course start: A $100 transfer fee applies.
- 24 hours or less before your scheduled course start: A $200 transfer fee applies.
Transfers are subject to availability, and the applicable transfer fee must be paid before a replacement date is confirmed.
eLearning, medical requirements and commenced courses
- eLearning and training materials: Once issued, activated or supplied, their disclosed cost is non-refundable where Abyss cannot cancel, recover, transfer or reuse them.
- Medical requirements: If illness, injury or missing required medical clearance prevents you from attending, the standard cancellation and transfer conditions still apply. A medical certificate does not automatically entitle you to a refund or fee-free transfer.
- After your course has commenced: No change-of-mind refund is available after any instructor-led session has started. If Abyss agrees to reschedule incomplete training, a $100 fee applies, or $125 for a course expressly sold as a budget course.
These conditions apply to customer-requested cancellations and changes and do not limit your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, including where Abyss cancels a course or fails to meet a consumer guarantee. Please read the complete course terms and conditions before booking.
