Deferral of Training

A participant can choose to defer their participation in a course to a future training of the same value and content; a request must be submitted along with a deferment fee to cover administrative fees and facility expenses. The deferment fee payable will be calculated on a case by case basis.
Deferment to a future training applies only to the specific training and must be done within 6 months from the date that the deferment was made, after which time the participant forfeits the training fee.

Transfer/substitution of Training Enrollment

A participant may transfer their registration to another person at any time prior to the start of a course. If substitution is made less than 3 days before course start date special arrangement such as dietary needs for the new person will attract a 5% administrative service charge

Returns

Customised / tailor made products and services including training material are non-refundable and non-returnable.

DPM reserves the right to refuse return of books, DVDs and such devises that we deem to show signs of usage. 

Leave of Absence

If circumstances beyond your control such as illness or family related issues arise during your training and you are unable to complete your course as originally enrolled, you will be allowed to return to another scheduled course within one year of your withdrawal date to finish only the days missed. Request for leave of absence must be made in writing along with relevant supporting documents.
