Terms and conditions

IMPORTANT NOTE: No course materials or tuition will be provided by PR Academy until full payment has been made or a valid, authorised purchase order provided.

Refunds: In the event of cancellation by the course participant a full refund will be given up to 14 days before the start date of a course.

From 14 days prior to the start date, to the commencement of the course, a 50% refund will be given.

No refunds will be given after a course has started. In the event of cancellation of a course by PR Academy, refunds will be given in full. This does not affect your statutory rights.

We regret that in the event of course cancellation or date change PR Academy cannot be liable for any student costs incurred (e.g. travel).

Places are non-transferable.

Deferrals: Occasionally students may encounter pressures through work or personal circumstances that make it difficult to complete the course in one academic year.

In such circumstances, provided that the student can show valid reason, the student will be able to either withdraw from the course entirely, and to postpone teaching and assessments not yet taken to the following academic year, or to defer some or all assessments to the following academic year. Please note that only courses that have been paid in full may be deferred. This is arranged via the CIPR.

For guidelines on what constitutes a ‘valid reason’ for deferral, together with the CIPR procedure for deferral, please see the CIPR student handbook, which will be issued on receipt of the CIPR fees.
