Student Bookings
CivilEdge reserves the right to cancel or defer any course and will make all reasonable effort to promptly notify you.
Where courses are rescheduled individuals will be booked onto the next available course or if not suitable a full refund will be offered. If for some reason you are unable to attend your course you must notify CivilEdge immediately.
Shortly after receiving your booking confirmation, you will receive an email from CivilEdge with additional course information including links to complete enrolment documentation such as online Enrolment form (that also includes Pre-Training Review), Language Literacy & Numeracy (LLN) quiz and an Evidence of Identity Form (where applicable).
These documents must be submitted to CivilEdge by 1pm on the business day prior to the course commencement day. These will assist us to confirm your suitability for the course and help us to prepare for any needs or support you may require.
PLEASE NOTE: Documents received by CivilEdge after 1pm may not be considered for enrolment and your booking will not proceed. You can request to transfer your booking to another course date (subject to availability), and it may incur a fee. See “Course Transfer” below for more information.
