  • Cancellation of online training courses made within fourteen (14) days of the date of payment AND after the online course has been accessed AND before any coursework has been submitted for assessment: the student will receive a refund of the online course payment less a cancellation fee of $440, unless the value of the course is lower than this, in which case the student will receive no
  • Cancellation more than fourteen (14) days after the date of payment OR after the first coursework is submitted for assessment (whichever occurs first): the student will receive no refund.

In accordance with the Australian Quality Framework, ETG is committed to providing a quality recognition process to all students that is:

  • Fair
  • Flexible
  • Reliable
  • Valid

This course has been designed as a Recognition of Prior Learning pathway for electrical engineers and others who have higher education or non-formal training in electrical principles. These students are able to complete the assessment tasks without engaging in the training content, and thus receive formal recognition of their electrical competency within the Nationally Recognised Training structure, as a prerequisite pathway to further renewable energy training.
