Course cancellation by Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa

Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa reserves the right to cancel or reschedule courses if numbers are insufficient or for any other reason, at its discretion. If a course cannot be re-scheduled or a student is unable to attend a re-scheduled course, a full refund of the course fee will be made.

In the event of a cancellation, the learner agrees that, apart from a full refund of any fees paid, Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa is not liable to the learner for any other costs incurred by the learner, in relation to the cancelled course.  

Non-attendance is not sufficient grounds for a refund.

Withdrawal or cancellation by student

For all fee paying courses:

• A refund of 75% of the total course fee will be made for cancellations received in writing, ten working days or more before the first day of the course.
• A refund of 50% of the total course fee will be made for cancellations received in writing, between five and ten working days before the first day of the course
• If notice of cancellation or withdrawal occurs less than five days before the first day of the course or the student does not attend, no refund of course fees is available unless in exceptional circumstances
• A refund is not available for on-line courses as access to the course is enabled on payment of the fee.

Applications for a refund of fees must be made in writing to ptdadmin@sexualwellbeing.org.nz and include appropriate evidence of the exceptional circumstances.

Te Whatu Ora-funded courses – cancellation or withdrawal less than 72 hours before the course starts will incur an administration fee of $100 payable by the student.  The student or their sponsor will be invoiced in full for the course cost for non-attendance with no notification. 

If you have been granted a funded spot on our Certificate in Contraception and Sexual Health course and you decide to withdraw/cancel from the course, you may be invoiced for the full costs of the two pre-requisite online courses if these have been completed.

Failure to pay for a course or non-attendance with no prior notification may result in the student declined entry to future courses.

Online courses

Learners will lose access to any on-line course for which they have enrolled if they do not complete the course requirements within the given timeframe (this is available for each). To access the course again, another fee will be required.

Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa reserves the right to cancel learner registrations in its Learning Management System if the student has been inactive within 6 months of registration.

Workshops: face to face, and virtual

Completion of the course requirements: including full attendance, assignments, assessments and practical elements is required for the certification of attendance or course completion.   

These are the learner’s responsibility, with extensions available only in exceptional circumstances.  

The National Cervical Screening Unit will be notified of any non –completions of the Cervical Screening Course requirements.

When a learner accepted for a course is unable to attend due to exceptional circumstances, a substitute learner from the same organisation may be accepted, provided Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa has been notified in advance and that the substituted learner meets all eligibility requirements, pre-requisites and conditions for attendance at the course.

Learners who have been granted a funded place on a course may be liable for the course cost, for non-attendance with no notification. 

Non-attendance with no prior notification may result in the learner being declined access to future courses.

Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa undertakes to collect, use and store the information the learner provides in accordance with the Privacy Act 2020.

All learner information will be used to:  

1. Provide a participant list
2. Inform administrative and reporting requirements within Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa
