Back Orders:  If your item is not in stock, we will back order for you and ship the order as soon as it becomes available.

You are only committed to purchasing any item after you have the payment process when a receipt will be issued that you can print for your records.

Please note the student is liable for the course fees even if a third party is paying the course fees on their behalf.

The student must be aware that if the qualification standards change during their studies this may affect their original study plan of units they were required to complete. Standards changing may also affect any Exemptions or Recognised Prior Learning (RPL) that may have been awarded to the student upon enrolment with Insight Optical Training or registration with the awarding body.

If the student has NOT been actively and continuously studying, the course will time out after one year from the date of enrolment, unless otherwise specified on the course instructions.

Once the course has timed out the student may resume their studies but will be required to pay the course fees again.

We will not address any disagreements or complaints regarding assessment outcomes if the course programme has not been followed.

Refunds Policy:  Insight Optical Training offers a 7 working day cooling off period. If you wish to cancel the course and require a refund you must contact Insight Optical Training within 7 working days from receiving your study material.  If you wish to cancel the course all study materials i.e. books, CD’s and any software, must be returned to Insight Optical Training undamaged.

If any course materials are damaged or missing the relevant fees will be deducted from the amount refundable. The P&P paid upon enrolment is non-refundable unless the course materials have not been dispatched to the student at the time of cancellation. Please note the cost of P&P to return any course materials to Insight Optical Training is payable by the student.

The following relates to students who have enrolled on multiple levels and then wish to cancel one of the levels:

Because you received a discount for enrolling on multiple levels, the discount will not apply if you subsequently cancel one of the levels. This means that any cancellation will account for the FULL price of the level completed and only the balance of the payment made will be refunded.

If you wish to cancel the course after the cooling off period has ended you are not entitled to a refund and will be required to pay ALL your instalments as agreed upon enrolment.
