1. Exclusive Use By Student Only
The correspondence courses and course material offered by the college are for the exclusive use of the student only. The college does not offer its courses or services to any business, organisation or company or any other person other than the enrolled student or in some cases the ex-student.

2. Enrolment
The college will issue the student with a student number after accepting the enrolment. Acceptance of enrolments are at the authorisation and discretion of the college management and acceptance applies when the college issues the student with a student number. The college management also reserves the right to not accept a course fee payment or enrolment or cancel an enrolment if it has concerns in relation to its intellectual property and copyright ownership rights being contravened in any way or it considers the courses have not been undertaken for the purpose of achieving the statements of attainment or certificate if that is applicable.

3. Course Content
Course criteria is stated on the college website course content page and training is limited to that content. The Accounting College Pty. Ltd. reserves the right to include or exclude any areas within the content of its correspondence courses and associated course material and limit its training to the correspondence course criteria of a competency unit or separate correspondence courses offered by the college. The MYOB student edition software is used as a resource tool to achieve the competency unit qualifications as outlined on the college course content website page. The MYOB Payroll training that is included within the course content is in addition to competency unit requirements (no extra charge applies). The college does not offer consultancy advice to businesses.

4. Timeframe
The college management reserves the right to allow a student an opportunity to complete the correspondence courses that have been offered and have not been completed within the designated timeframe. Each case in this instance is determined on its merits. Extensions and deferral of courses can be provided and are subject to college management approval. Course timeframes quoted on the college website are an estimate only and feedback and assessment timeframe are in addition to the estimated timeframe. The contract of sale of the college correspondence courses ends and is finalised upon completion of the course or courses by the student at the date of issuing a statement of attainment (three MYOB correspondence courses completed) or certificate or the non-completion of the correspondence courses by a student or ex-student within the required course/s timeframe and an extension has not been granted.

5. Course Pricing
The college reserves the right to alter course pricing on its correspondence courses and offer combined package discounted course prices and conduct regular discount promotions on combined course packages as decided by the college management based on student intake and market conditions. The Quick Reference Guide (MYOB Procedures) is included in promotions where stated. Should a payment be made for any course or courses by any other person, business, partnership, company or organisation, on behalf of the applicant or student, then the college responsibility and conditions of sale of all correspondence courses, course material, emails, training and advice is only with the student and not the person, business, company or organisation making the payment. However, a tax invoice will be issued in the name of the person, business, company or organisation if requested. The college sells its MYOB courses for no other purpose whatsoever other than the competency units qualification it offers. The college courses are not always available on bartercard and a bartercard puchase is subject to management approval.

6. Documents Issued
The college offers competency unit training by correspondence (MYOB correspondence courses) where nationally recognised Statements of Attainment are issued upon successful completion of the courses. The college also offers separate private correspondence courses where an Accounting College Certificate is issued (Accounting Procedures / Business Kit, Quickbooks and Excel Courses).

7. Course Process
The Accounting College correspondence courses are sold to students in good faith and on the condition that all course material supplied including subsequent emails are purchased by the student for the sole purpose of securing employment or for personal knowledge and no other situation or matter. Courses are not sold by the college for the purpose of commencing a self employed bookkeeping business or any other purpose whatsoever other than the training of the enrolled student.

Any email received from a student with a business name stated on the email will be responded to by the college, as this is the preferred communication address provided by the student. However, the email response will be addressed to the enrolled student only and not to the business, company or organisation that may appear anywhere on the initial or any subsequent emails.
The college deals exclusively with the enrolled student only.

Email support is offered during normal business hours Monday to Friday 9am to 6pm and emails are responded to soon as possible. The college deals with any complaints promptly and the complaints and appeals procedure is shown on the student info page on the college website.

8. MYOB Courses Participation
It is a requirement of enrolment that a student actively participates in the MYOB correspondence courses which are used as a training resource tool to attain the competency units offered. As a minimum requirement of establishing participation in a course the student must work through the basics workbook and then complete the MYOB Basics assignment and forward it to the college for assessment. This must be done within the course completion timeframe as this is the evidence used to satisfy the minumum requirement. After the minimum requirement has been met then additional MYOB correspondence course workbooks and a number of assignments (intermediate and advanced) are required to be completed successfully within the correspondence course timeframe for the issuing of statements of attainment unless an extension has been granted by the college.

9. Business Activity Statement
The Accounting College Pty. Ltd. course training on the Business Activity Statement (BAS) content is for those working, or intending to work, as an employee under the direction of an employer or for business owners who do not conduct or are involved in a bookkeeping business. The BAS training is in relation to the GST. The BAS training provided by the college is not for any person or business who conducts their own bookkeeping business or for the purposes of a BAS provider (contact the Australian Tax Office as special qualifications are required to become a BAS provider).

10. Postage
The college does not charge students postage costs for delivery of course material within Australia and absorbs this cost. However, students outside Australia must pay a postage and handling fee and course fee for course material to be mailed out. All course fees quoted are in Australian dollars. Students mailing assignments back to the college must pay their own postage costs.

11. Trial Software
The student will be supplied with the MYOB student edition training software or Quickbooks Student Edition or Microsoft Office Evaluation disc for training purposes only. The training software supplied will be based on the course or courses for which the student has enrolled. Where existing MYOB or Quickbooks or Microsoft Office software files are already on the computer then it is the student's responsibility to create a back up of the existing software and associated data files prior to installing the trial software supplied. This is an important precaution procedure in the event that the trial software overwrites the existing software files.

12. Refund Policy
All college courses are considered sold at the time payment is received and the course material has been mailed. Courses are considered fully sold to the student at the time of mailing as the student will gain access to all course material and benefit by having the opportunity to review all course information, procedures and workbooks owned by the Accounting College Pty Ltd.

The college will issue refunds, if advised within 14 days of invoice date, when the student is unable to complete due to extended hospitalisation/illness and 7 days notice is provided. The college will require a medical certificate to confirm. It should be noted however that should the student know at the time of purchasing the course, in relation to extended hospitalisation/illness, then this is a decision he/she has made in undertaking the course or courses and no refund will be allowed.

The college will not issue refunds for:
a Change in student work hours or circumstances.
b Student has changed his/her mind.
c Job change or retrenchment.
d Students who do not complete a course or courses within the designated timeframe.
e Minimum requirement of submitting completed MYOB Basics Assignment has not been satisfied.

13. Liability Limitation
All college courses are written in a general nature as variations in bookkeeping and associated functions can vary significantly from one business to the next and also vary after publishing date. Student's and ex-student's of the college are responsible for checking that any bookkeeping procedure or associated function, to be applied within a business, company or organisation, suits that business structure and is legally relevant and current and has been approved by the management of that business structure before proceeding to implement the procedure or associated function. Courses are written and published from a general viewpoint and are not designed for preparation of taxation matters or taxation returns as these may differ in required procedures for taxation issues. The college does not provide instructions, procedures or advice on taxation matters or issues.

The student or ex-student must not provide any Accounting College course material, emails or software to any other person, business, company or organisation. No other person, business, company or organisation is permitted to access the college workbooks, course material, publications, emails or guides without seeking permission in writing from The Accounting College Pty. Ltd. prior to accessing any information. Should a person purchase any course or courses from the college to be used in operating a business operation then no responsibility is offered to the business by the college in relation to any aspect of the use, content, course material, communications or general operation and associated functions of the course or courses. All other terms and conditions detailed on this website page still apply in relation to the purchase of college courses. The Accounting College Pty. Ltd. and its management or staff will not accept any responsibility where any person, business, company or organisation acts on information in any course workbooks, course material, publications, advice, emails or guides and has not consulted, or been authorised, in writing to do so by the directors of The Accounting College Pty. Ltd. prior to acting on such information.

The college has a obligation only with the enrolled student and that obligation ceases once the student has completed the correspondence courses and statements of attainment or a certificate has been issued or the student has withdrawn from the courses or the student has not completed the courses within the designated timeframe and has not been granted an extension.

Ltd. reserves the right to have such matters dealt with in the jurisdiction limits of Australia, and not in any other country or territory, and such matters will be confined to relevant Australian Laws.

The terms and conditions mentioned in all areas 1 to 14 above are considered accepted by the student once the student has made payment for the course or courses and the course material and student edition software or other software (if applicable) has been mailed.
