Why is there an extension fee?

When your enrolment is active with us, it's like occupying a seat in a classroom. There are costs associated with having active students, including: 

1. Employing our great Trainers: Educational institutions plan their staffing based on the expected number of students completing their studies within a certain timeframe. When a student extends their studies, it can disrupt the staffing allocation and lead to additional staffing requirements for the institution. 
2. Administrative & registration costs: Extending a student's study period requires additional administrative work, such as updating records and ensuring the student's ongoing compliance with the institution's policies. There are also registration fees associated with student record management. The extension fee helps cover these administrative costs and time-based expenses.​
3. Incentive & encouraging planning: Extension fees can act as an incentive for students to complete their studies within the designated timeframe. By charging extension fees, institutions encourage students to plan their academic path carefully and avoid prolonging their studies without valid reasons. If there were no extension fees, some students might be more inclined to extend their studies unnecessarily, leading to increased strain on the institution's resources. 

It's important to note that in some cases, we may waive or reduce the fees for students facing exceptional circumstances that prevent them from completing their studies on time.

Extension fees are payable in advance.
A full refund will apply if your extension request is not approved.
