Terms & Conditions

NTC courses involve attendance at various times and on various dates for varying durations depending on the course option chosen.

It is the students responsibility to attend every tutorial. If a student misses any tutorial it may be possible depending on the course, to attend the same tutorial on a different date and, possibly, at a different venue. Should a student wish to attend a missed tutorial they must pay a repeat tutorial fee of €120 per day / evening or €300 per weekend. We guarantee to provide all tutorials as advertised in literature specific to each course. Where advance notice is given prior to a course starting date it may be possible, subject to availability, to allow a student to attend on a different date and at a different venue without incurring any additional charge. This is not possible without NTC approval prior to the course start date except where the Educational Committee of the National Training Centre have offered approval in response to a written student request where genuine compassionate or medical reasons have been offered. Where an individual’s ability to attend has been influenced by a medical reason or serious personal situation, an opportunity to repeat may be offered and the fee payable waived. Medical reasons for non-attendance must be confirmed by means of a medical certificate and any social reason for missing a weekend e.g. wedding, holiday etc. will not be considered valid justification for waiving the repeat fee unless notification was given at the time of enrollment.

Students are eligible to sit final examinations irrespective of the number of tutorials attended although the ability to pass final examinations, particularly those of a practical nature, diminishes in proportion to the number of missed tutorials.

On courses which require it, students must complete their Learner Wokbook and submit it on the specified days. Failure to submit any of the required tasks precludes the student from graduation.

The National Training Centre has set rules and regulations regarding professional attendance, time-keeping, personal appearance, conduct, etc. You agree to abide by such conditions, our Code of Ethics and National Standards and Guidelines.

All applicants for National Training Centre courses have a responsibility to ensure that they are not suffering from any illness or injury which may prevent their complete participation on the course. Applicants must also ensure that they do not suffer from any communicable disease and furthermore, should they contract such a disease during the term where they are participating on the course that they will not attend for the duration of the period during which they could infect fellow students.

Before paying any deposit or course fees you should ask all the questions you feel are appropriate. Please ask any questions you may have by telephone or at any open days or interview. At the NTC, we want you to make the right choice.

The eligibility requirements for courses vary. Please check that you meet the eligibility requirements outlined for each course before enrolling.

It is important for potential students to understand that places on all courses are available on a first come first served basis. If you feel quite certain that this is the course for you we would advise that you pay a deposit as soon as possible in order to avoid potential disappointment.

Students who fail to complete any course will receive no refund of course fees paid and course fees which are owing will still have to be paid. Deposits are non-refundable in all circumstances and the balance of course fees may only be refunded in line with advertised refund policy. Where written notice of non-participation is received, fees will be refunded on the following scale:

• Six weeks notice prior to course start date - 80% refund.
• Five weeks notice prior to course start date - 70% refund.
• Four weeks notice prior to course start date - 60% refund.
• Less than four weeks notice prior to course start date - 0% refund.
