Accurate information

All information (including personal information) provided to us on registration, on creating an account, or while accessing BBI services and Courses, must be true, accurate and complete. You are also responsible for updating us in the event of a change to your information (for example, your name or address). All personal information will be processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

License:

Subject to these Terms, and to the payment of any applicable fees, we grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable license to use our services and products, including all services associated with our Courses, and the Online Campus through which Course content is accessed.

Language:

English is the language of instruction and administration for all Courses. All coursework that is required for assessment purposes must be written in English. This includes posts made on the discussion forums.

Suitability of Course:

Before registering for any Course, you are responsible for establishing the relevance and suitability of the Course for your individual requirements, through consideration of the information supplied through our Websites, and asking questions, if necessary.

Commencement of Course:

You will only receive confirmation of your registration for a Course, and be allowed access to the Online Campus, once you have made the required minimum payment for the Course (unless otherwise specifically stated in the information pack relevant to your Course). There may also be a delay of access to the Online Campus until you are formally enrolled in our records, or until the Course commences as per your selected Course commencement date.

Basic requirements:

In order to complete a Course, you will need a current valid email account and access to a computer and the internet. You should be familiar with using a computer and accessing the internet, as you may need to be able to read documents in Adobe PDF Reader, view Microsoft PowerPoint presentations, and read and create documents in Microsoft Word.

Disclaimer:

You are obliged to source and obtain access to the necessary software and resources required for Course completion at your own cost, and we won’t be held liable for any consequences of the use of such software or resources. We do not sponsor or endorse, nor are we affiliated with, the entities responsible for software and resources unless expressly stated otherwise – these are simply programs chosen for their global use patterns and effectiveness for the Course outcomes. We may change the Course requirements for a particular Course at any time by advising you through the applicable Online Campus or by email to your chosen email address.

Refund Policy

You may defer your course start date or cancel your registration or participation and request a full refund at any time before resource access is activated. The turnaround time for refunds is typically 48hours once confirmation of banking details and all necessary documentation is received.

We do not guarantee that future presentations will be held and if you choose to defer to the next presentation, you do so at your own risk. For more information, please contact us.

Once the resource access is activated, no refunds (partially or fully) will be given in any circumstances.

Tax Rebates and Employer Compensation

The administration of these Courses is handled by BBI, which may not be an “educational institution” for tax purposes in your jurisdiction. If your employer offers compensation for educational courses, it is your responsibility to check with them if this course meets their requirements for compensation. Similarly, it is your responsibility to establish if these Courses will qualify for a tax rebate. BBI will not issue or complete any tax forms.

Communications

You may receive communication by telephone, email or text message from BBI representatives for Course administration and related purposes, including reminders of assignments and payments due by you, or other information related to your registration or these Terms. You agree and consent to receipt of such communications (although you may opt-out of any generic marketing communications that are unrelated to Course administration, at any time, through the supplied opt-out mechanism).

Permitted use:

Only students who are registered for a Course may participate in that Course. You may not divulge your username or password to any other person, permit any other person to participate in the Course on your behalf, and/ or impersonate any other person in dealing with BBI or when accessing your Online Campus by using another student’s username and password. If you forget your username or password, we will only take such steps that we regard as being secure to ensure that you regain access to your profile.

You agree that you will contact us immediately if you experience any unauthorized use of your profile details. You are responsible for use of your profile in your Online Campus, and for maintaining it and all information on it. We take security seriously, but as the user, you accept all risks of any unauthorized access that could occur regarding your information.

External websites:

Certain Courses may require you to use external websites. BBI is not responsible for technical support for any external websites. If you have any queries relating to external websites, contact the support services of the relevant websites directly (although you may request assistance from your Student Success Team through the Online Campus). BBI will not be liable for any costs, claims or damages that you may suffer as a result of your use/misuse of, or failure to access, any external website.

Videos

Videos are provided in the majority of Course modules. These videos act as tutorials and lectures for the topics covered in the specific modules and are compulsory unless otherwise stipulated. If you are using a slower internet connection, attempts to view these videos may be difficult.

Certificate Delivery:

If receiving a physical certificate, BBI will courier your certificate to your street address provided to us during the registration process or such other address you have nominated. BBI cannot be held liable if you provide an incorrect address or if no address is given and cannot guarantee the delivery date and time of your certificate. If your certificate is not delivered to you within three (3) months from BBI issuing you with a tracking code, it is your responsibility to notify BBI of the non-delivery.

Certificate Reprints:

Certificate Reprints: A reprint of your certificate will only be issued to you if your certificate has been destroyed, irretrievably lost or, not delivered to you at no fault of your own. You will be charged for the courier/ shipping fee for the delivery of the reprint.

No liability for Course outcomes:

We will not, under any circumstances, be liable for any costs, claims, damages, or loss that you may sustain or suffer as a result of registering for and/or participating in any Course (or other services offered by us) which is not relevant, suitable or does not meet your requirements, and/or the requirements of any relevant industry- or commercial body. Under no circumstances do we guarantee your suitability for a particular Course based on the levels of difficulty. We cannot, under any circumstances, be held liable to you for any costs, claims, damages or loss, if after the completion of a Course you are not able to obtain employment or a promotion within your chosen field of study, or attain any other outcome you may believe completing a Course will assist you to attaining.

In no event will BBI’s aggregate liability to you for any and all claims exceed the total amount of fees received by BBI from you in the six months preceding any cause of action.

Acknowledgment:

Assignment:

These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by BBI without restriction.

No indulgence/waiver:
