We only provide refunds in the following circumstances:

• If you cancel your enrolment within 24 hours of purchase (exclusions apply)
• If CCE cancels your class
• If CCE is legally obliged to do so

Please refer to our full terms and conditions for further information regarding our cancellation policy.

An email will be sent notifying you that your course has been cancelled, and you will automatically receive a credit note for the amount paid. Please contact us to have this converted to a refund.

We require a minimum of 7 days’ notice (excluding public holidays) to either reschedule or cancel your enrolment.

If you wish to cancel or reschedule your enrolment with less than 7 days (excluding public holidays) prior to your class start date due to extenuating circumstances (e.g., illness), you will need to provide supporting documentation explaining your inability to attend your course (i.e., medical certificate). Note, we cannot accommodate changes in work or personal circumstances (i.e., changes to company policy or work schedule).

Alternatively, you can elect to transfer the enrolment to another individual at no cost. Please contact us for assistance.

Your computer's security settings may prevent you from joining the free University Wi-Fi network. If you have antivirus software on your device, you may need to disable the firewall to join the network.

You will need to have specific software pre-installed for some courses, for example, Adobe and Microsoft courses. Please read the course outline and all pre-course communications thoroughly.

We don't have placement tests for our language courses, so please review the course outlines carefully to determine which course is appropriate for you. For additional assistance or advice, please contact us.

Online classes are run through a platform called Zoom, which allows for real-time, interactive classes. Facilitators and participants interact through audio and video, and the facilitator shares their screen with the class for the purpose of demonstrations. Zoom also allows for the class to be split into smaller groups, for group work and other activities. Please ensure that you have a stable internet connection.

Online classes are taught in an interactive webinar format and participants need to be available at the scheduled time to participate. For privacy and consent reasons, we do not record classes.

You will need to have specific software pre-installed for some courses, for example, Adobe and Microsoft courses. Please read the course outline and all course communications thoroughly.
