You will not be entitled to access any benefits provided to University of Sydney students.
5. Technical access and support
In order to participate in the Centre’s self-paced Courses, online classes or Courses in which you are required to use or bring your own device, you will need to ensure you have compatible hardware, software and/or Apps. Software required for each Course is listed in the Course outline. There may be instances where you will be instructed to use a program which may have various technical requirements. However, it is
inbuilt microphone and camera, or capacity to plug in a mic and camera; and
latest version of an internet browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Microsoft Edge)
Please note that you may be required to adjust your pop-up blocker settings to permit content, if you have one installed.
You must ensure you have access to a personal computer and that it is set-up to support the system and internet bandwidth requirements for the programs specified for use in the particular Course for which you are enrolled in.
If you are unable to access any Course Materials, we will use reasonable endeavours to provide a solution where we have direct control over the system, software or settings involved. If the issue lies with your hardware, systems, software or settings, you will need to resolve these issues so that you can participate in the Course.
We will use reasonable endeavours to make the Course available but cannot guarantee uninterrupted, timely or error free availability or that defects will be corrected. We reserve the right to suspend access to the eLearning system for the purpose of scheduled or emergency maintenance, repairs or upgrades to improve the performance or functionality of the eLearning system.

8. Refunds, cancellations and transfers
8.1. Cancellation of enrolment by you
No refund will be issued if you cancel or re-schedule your enrolment more than 24 hours after your purchase, irrespective of whether your enrolment(s) are to be paid via company invoice.

8.2 Cancellation and transfer of enrolment requested by you
We require 7 days (excluding public holidays) notice before a class start date to cancel or reschedule your Course enrolment.
If you request to cancel your enrolment and have provided sufficient notice, the registered payer of your enrolment will receive a credit voucher to the value of the amount paid for your Course. If your enrolment was processed via company invoice, a credit voucher will only be issued upon receipt of payment for your Course.
If you request to reschedule your enrolment to a class at a later date, or transfer to another Course, and have provided sufficient notice, no fees will be incurred. However, payment will be required for any difference in Course cost.
In the case of multiple instances of rescheduling, we may withhold an administrative charge of not more than $50.00 from the amount of the credit value and you will be notified.
8.3 Insufficient notice to cancel or transfer your enrolment, or failure to attend your Course

you will forfeit all fees paid for the Course;
it will not be possible to re-schedule your enrolment or transfer to another Course.
If you are unable to attend a Course, you can elect to transfer the enrolment to another individual. Please note:
if you enrolled using a discount, it is not transferrable to the other individual and you will be required to pay any difference;
that individual will not be able to withdraw from the Course for any reason.
8.4. Standard Cancellation Policy Exceptions
Exceptions to the standard cancellation policy may be granted in CCE’s discretion, acting reasonably. Refer to the FAQ’s page for a list of applicable exceptions.
If an exception to the standard cancellation policy has been granted after the Course commencement date, and the Course consists of multiple sessions, a credit voucher may be provided only for the value of the sessions outstanding, charged on a pro-rata basis.
8.5. Cancellation by us or changes to your Course
At any time after we have accepted your enrolment application or order for products or services, we may, acting reasonably, cancel your enrolment or the relevant Course, for any reason. If we cancel your enrolment or Course:
on or before its scheduled commencement date and we have already received payment, we will promptly notify you and offer you your choice of a credit note or refund of fees paid for the Course;
after its scheduled commencement date because we are no longer able to conduct the Course for reasons beyond our reasonable control (including but not limited to a venue or facilitator becoming unavailable), we will promptly notify you and offer you a credit note for the value of the enrolment or Course, unless we are required by law to give you a refund, in which case, to the extent permitted by law, we will provide a refund of fees paid for the Course.
If we cancel your membership pursuant to clause 8.5(a), we will offer you your choice of a credit note or refund of fees paid by you for the membership, less any costs associated with Courses which you have attended in full.
To the extent permitted by law, each party’s liability to the other in relation to any Course, product or service offered by us is limited to the amount you have paid us in respect of that Course, product or service.
If, as the result of a change, your Course no longer meets your needs or you are unable to attend, please contact us to discuss a transfer to another Course, a credit voucher, or a refund. Credit vouchers and transfers will be offered where your Course has already commenced.
