LEARNER PROTECTION ARRANGEMENTS IICP
The Institute’s policy is to retain all learner fees on deposit in a secure bank account. These fees are not drawn down by the Institute until the learners in question have graduated their programme with IICP.
IICP also have a financial bond in place for each registered learner which is renewed annually as part of the learner protection arrangements with HETAC.
If for any reason the programme were to cease, every effort will be made to transfer the learners onto an alternative programme in a recognised College, IoT or University. If such a transfer is not possible, Programme participants will be reimbursed in full with the fees which they paid to IICP.
IICP & VCS actively promote and utilise Children First Policy in training, education and counselling. Download a copy of the documentation below.
