27. Exam Pass Guarantee
For certain courses, we recognise that the examinations are difficult. Hence, for certain courses we provide an “Exam Pass Guarantee” – applicable courses have this phrase explicitly stated on the course page. Auron Trade ’s Exam Pass Guarantee offer is only applicable if you attend all sessions, complete all assignments, and sit the original exam within 30 days of completing the associated course. The Exam Pass Guarantee offer means that on the first attempt, you can re-sit the Course at no additional cost. The Exam Pass Guarantee does not provide you with the associated resit examination, an additional fee may be applied when you book the exam
28. Credit
Credit, where mutually agreed with Auron Trade to be left on a customer account, is non-refundable and must be redeemed within 6 months of the agreement date
29. Exams
All Examination requests must be registered with Auron Trade ’s Exam Booking Team within 30 days of the course’s conclusion.
Exam bookings must be made a minimum of 10 days in advance of the chosen examination date – customers will receive their examination registration voucher 48 hours prior to their chosen exam date from the Examining Institute. Once the customer has selected and booked a date with the Examining Institute, the voucher can only be used for the chosen date.
If a customer misses an examination due to reasons that are beyond the control of Auron Trade , such as technical issues, force majeure, or time management, a fee of £299 shall be applied should the customer want to pursue or retake the examination.
30. FlexiPass Package
A FlexiPass Package refers to a bundled training voucher that includes a combination of optional live training (predetermined Virtual/Classroom) and eLearning access. Full eLearning access is provided immediately upon purchase, regardless of the optional live training date.
Once access is granted, no refunds, cancellations, or transfers will be permitted. Exam access is subject to the client’s full attendance and compliance with course requirements. The Company reserves the right to deny exam access if the client has not fulfilled all prerequisites. Failure to attend the scheduled training does not entitle the participant to a refund or rescheduling of exams without additional fees.
FlexiPass6 Packages are valid for 6 months, and FlexiPass12 Packages are valid for 12 months. Both are nontransferable, non-refundable, and non-cancellable under any circumstances. FlexiPasses must be paid upfront fully prior to attending the course. Auron Trade reserves the right to refuse entry to a training event until the course fee is paid in full. Please also note that examination results and certificates will not be issued until the full fee has been paid.
