Terms & Conditions

When placing an online registration (whether for yourself or another party) please ensure you include complete contact information for the individual candidate. It is a requirement that you provide an individual email address and at least one contact phone number operational during business hours. Where an organisation is completing a registration on behalf of a delegate, please ensure complete billing details are provided, and any additional invoicing requirements or instructions are noted in the ‘Other Information’ section of the registration form.

Candidates will receive an email acknowledging their registration within two business days of submission. If the confirmation email is not received within that time please email our course administration team at enquiries@metapm.com or contact our head office on (03) 8640 5700 or 1800 800 436.

A tax invoice will be issued by MetaPM Learning on receipt of an online registration or purchase order. Registrations must be paid in full according to the terms of invoice. However registrations made within 10 business days of course commencement or examination date will require immediate payment. Payments may be made by credit card, direct funds transfer or bank cheque.

MetaPM accepts Visa, Master Card and American Express. Unfortunately we are unable to accept Diners Club. Please note payments using American Express will incur a 3% service fee additional to the invoice total at the time of payment. Credit card payments can be made via the Make a Payment page on our website or by contacting our head office on (03) 8640 5700 or 1800 800 436.

Please make cheques payable to MetaPM Learning Pty Ltd and send to the following address MetaPM Learning Pty Ltd, Level 1, 99 William Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000.

When making a payment via Direct Funds Transfer please ensure a remittance advice including bank receipt number is emailed to enquiries@metapm.com.au or faxed to (03) 9670 7480. Please include the invoice number and course date with all Direct Funds Transfer payment details. PLEASE CONFIRM BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS AS SHOWN ON THE INVOICE BEFORE PROCESSING A DIRECT FUNDS TRANSFER. Credit terms are at the discretion of MetaPM Learning and are subject to satisfactory references and trading volumes. MetaPM Learning will exercise their statutory right to claim interest on debts owed and compensation for all associated debt recovery costs if payment is not received in accordance with MetaPM’s specified terms. MetaPM Learning reserves the right to withdraw registrations if payment terms are not observed.

Requests for cancellations, deferrals or substitutions must be received in writing. The date on which the written notice is received by MetaPM Learning will be deemed as the date on which the request has been made. Cancellation due to illness or other medical emergency requires a medical certificate. On presentation of a medical certificate, the student can transfer their attendance to the same course title but at a later date. All deferral and cancellation fees are calculated as a percentage of the original course fee and are dependent on the number of working days’ notice given to MetaPM Learning in writing before the commencement date. Courses that have been paid for and not attended will be held in credit for a period not exceeding 1 year from the original course date. Failure to reschedule attendance will result in the full fee being forfeited after such time. Failure to respond to course emails or other correspondence from MetaPM does not constitute notice of a cancellation, substitution or deferral. If a registration is transferred or cancelled by the client, the following fees will apply:

• Cancellation or transfer to a different course date more than four calendar weeks before start date of course: no charge/refund*
• Transfer to a different course date less than two calendar weeks before start date of course: 25% of course fee
• Transfer to a different course less than one calendar week before the start date of course: 50% of course fee
• Cancellation more than two calendar weeks before start date of course: 50% of course fee
• Cancellation less than two calendar weeks before start date of course: 100% of course fee

A substitute delegate may be nominated at any time provided that:

• The new delegate is attending exactly the same dates and course, and MetaPM is notified of the replacement delegate’s name and contact details as soon as possible
• Any pre-course information already received is passed on to the replacement delegate by the original delegate

MetaPM Learning reserves the right to cancel or alter the dates of any given course. Affected registrations will generally be transferred to the next available course in consultation with the client. A refund* is available to the client in the event that new dates cannot be facilitated. Refund Requirements In the event that a client requests a refund* (having satisfied the terms and conditions above), the client must provide MetaPM with all information required to facilitate said refund, in writing. Upon failure to supply the required information, those funds will be held in credit for a period not exceeding 1 year from the original course date. Failure to reschedule training or to provide the required information for the refund within this time will result in the full fee being forfeited after such time.
