• Student is clearly not able to cope with Bradford program academically.

Protection of student fees are in place by way of an Australian Government recognised Tuition Assurance Scheme through the Australian Council for Private Education and Training (ACPET). In the unlikely event that Bradford College defaults, for unforseen reasons, and is unable to provide a course of study or continue a course of study, ACPET will arrange for students to enrol in a similar course of study and receive full recognition for any successfully completed units of study already undertaken. Students won’t be charged for any unit of study they have already paid for at Bradford College.
