This can be by email or letter. If you cancel within this period, we will return in full any fees you have already paid.

Note: qaulificaiton programmes – if you pay us within 14 days of enrolling, we will register you straightaway with the CMI or ILM and pay them your registration fee.

After this 14 day period, all fees are non-refundable.

If we cancel a programme, you will receive a full refund of fees already paid.

2. Fee Payments

Study fees must be paid according to the payments schedule agreed when you enrol with us. We will only register you with the Awarding Body (CMI or ILM) on receipt of your full payment or agreed first instalment.

When payment has been agreed by way of an instalment plan, you agree to make the required payment on the dates agreed from the outset, via direct debit. In the event of a payment not being received, we reserve the right to withdraw our services and cancel your enrolment with no refund of any fees already paid.

3. Timescales for qualifications

You will agree with us your own personalised schedule of assignment submissions and course completion date. You will need to have completed and passed your final assignment at least six weeks before the end of the registration period for your qualification. This allows us time to process get your  qualification sign-off through the CMI or ILM external moderation process.

Our registration periods for CMI qualifications are as follows:

Award – 6 months registration period to complete the qualification – up to 3 months unlimited tutorial

Certificate – 12 months registration period to complete the qualification – up to 6 months unlimited tutorial

Diploma – 18 months registration period to complete the qualification – up to 12 months unlimited tutorial

The support period for all ILM qualifications in coaching, mentoring and supervision is 1 year.

Extensions of registration periods

This can be arranged if the syllabus is still current and at the descretion of isnpired2learn’s Porgramme Directors. Extensions to the above timescales are not guaranteed and the committment of the learner and their progress to date will be taken into account. Charges apply depending on the additional time required and the level of support required. These will be quoted for on request.

4. CMI unlimited tutorial support 

This includes:

• a named personal tutor
• indicative content and assignment guide provided to guide your study for each assignment
• primarily, tutorial support is by e-mail conversations with your tutor
• supplementary telephone/on-line support is included by pre-arranged appointment (Note: if you are outside of the UK in a different timezone, we will need to discuss the practicalities of this)
• review and feedback for draft work for your first full assignment in a qualification only. After this, you may ask for your draft of one extract (of up to 500 words) of each subsequent assignment to be reviewed – maybe a section you are least confident about. Please note: Answering of questions and providing advice on interpreting & understanding assignment questions, and signposting to resources will continue throughout the unlimited support period.

  Why this limitation on reviewing draft work? We are quality audited by the CMI. We must strike a balance between providing developmental help with your assignments and not giving so much advice that it could be considered as collusion in the writing of your own assignment (i.e. almost writing your assignment with you).

  There comes a time when, after some tutorial advice, you need to make the decision yourself about whether you have demonstrated your knowledge and understanding sufficiently against the assessment criteria.

  Generally, you will only get detailed feedback when your tutor thinks you need to do different or more content to modify a draft. If you don’t get detailed feedback it is because your tutor thinks your content is enough.

  Remember that you will also get feedback from assignment markers which will also help guide your approach to future assignments, and what needs to be improved if an assignment is referred and needs to be resubmitted.
