The student will need to contact the distributor/supplier of the tools directly if there are any faults. If the student pulls out of the course before the course commences or during the course, the student will not be offered a refund or partial refund on tools or materials.
7) We do not expect any issues, but any problems with tools and equipment sent will need to be dealt with directly by the retailer. The student will need to contact the supplier and send the item due to faults. If the student has opted to supply their own tools or materials for the course, then they must ensure that they have all the tools or materials from the itinerary list in order to complete the course. It is the responsibility of the student to check they have received all the tools or materials kit before the course commences.
8) If the student is unable to keep up with the course content/criteria, we will allow the student to complete the course in their own time, however they will not be entitled to attend all 1-1 sessions or marking sessions for all terms. We are unable to offer a transfer to the next year unfortunately. They will also not be entitled to their end of year certification of the course. The payment for the course under this condition will still remain the same.
9) Terms of payments. For full payment of the course or partial payment of the course or monthly payment of the course, the student will not be able to receive a refund before or during the course. If the student does decide to pull out of the course at any time, they will receive no refunds on payments received and will be required to complete course payments. For completion of course payments, it is discretionary if the Jewellers Academy wish to offer a cancellation depending on the circumstances of the student.
10) Assessment
a. You will receive a full and detailed list of jewellery pieces that require assessment along with the marking criteria for each term. The required work must be sent, and postage paid for by the student which is sent to us by the deadline each term in order for you to be assessed. Students that complete the assessed work to the standard required by the deadlines imposed on this course will be awarded the Diploma in Metal Clay certificate which is accredited by Jewellers Academy when the course ends. If work is not completed and/or is not up to the standard to award the Diploma, then you will not be awarded the Diploma but may be awarded a certificate of partial credit for modules passed.
11) Late Marking: Diploma work needs to be submitted on time; any late work may not be assessed. The highest you can achieve for late work is 50%. If you have extenuating circumstances, you need to contact the Diploma Manager as early as possible. There may be additional fees to pay for marking of late work, students will be contacted to agree this before marking takes place.
12) If the student misplaces or loses any of the tools or materials that have been sent, they will need to replace the cost of tools and materials themselves. Consumables e.g., saw blades, worn out polishing mops etc are the responsibility of the student to replace if required
