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.)

Course cancellation by Gaia School of Natural Health

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) / Reiki course cancellation

In the unlikely event Gaia School of Natural Health cancels the course date (or is required to do so by a governing body e.g. UK Government, the Regulator or Accreditor), an email will be sent to you and an alternative course date/s will be offered. If you cannot attend the revised date/s, then Gaia School of Natural Health will refund your deposit and/or all course fees that have been paid.

Gaia School of Natural Health will not be held liable for any other expenses incurred by the learner associated with joining the cancelled course.

Level 5 Diploma in Practitioner Reflexology course cancellation

Where Gaia School of Natural Health cancels a Level 5 course that has not yet commenced, then any monies paid (e.g. deposit) will be refunded, and if possible an indication of future course start dates will be emailed to you.

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.
