Cancellation policy

Course cancellation by Learner

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) / Reiki Learner cancellation

Learners are entitled to cancel their CPD / Reiki booking up to 48 hours before the course start time. Deposits are non-refundable, however where Learners have paid the full balance of the course price, they will be entitled to a refund of the difference between the full balance and the non-refundable deposit. Alternatively they may postpone their booking to the next scheduled course with available space.

Learners who cancel within 48 hours of the start time of the course are liable for the full cost of the course.

Level 5 Diploma Learner cancellation

Learners are provided the opportunity to withdraw from the course and receive a refund of any paid course fees balance (difference between the full course balance and the non-refundable deposit). This is subject to Learners providing written notice of their cancellation within 14 days of the course commencement date.

Beyond the 14 days “cooling-off” period, Gaia School of Natural Health will not provide any refunds to Learners withdrawing from the course.

Please refer to the Learner and School Contract for further details on specific learner liabilities where course financing options are in place. (The learner remains liable for the course fees balance regardless of whether the learner subsequently completes/graduates the Level 5 course.)

Where Gaia School of Natural Health cancels a Level 5 course date for an “in progress” course, an email will be sent to you with an alternative course date/s that will be within the 3 year period required for completing the qualification.

In the extremely unlikely event that the full “in progress” Level 5 course is cancelled, Learners are directed to Centralia (registering body) who will provide assistance in organising an alternative course provider. Additional fees will be incurred by the Learner in order to complete the qualification. The level of additional fees will depend on the scope of teaching to be provided by the alternative course provider.

The client will be asked to kindly confirm in writing/email that they could not attend because they have COVID-19 or symptoms of COVID-19. They will be given the option of transferring their booking to the next available class, or receiving a full refund if this is not convenient, or there is no future planned date.

Learners on multi-day qualification courses who have to cancel at short notice due to suspected or confirmed COVID-19 will be subject to the usual arrangements for being absent from class.
