Private Education Act
The CPE, in aiming to enhance the confidence of students and their parents in the quality of education in Singapore, has stipulated that all PEIs must sign a PEI- Student contract with their students. The contract sets out the important terms and conditions governing the relationship between the student and the PEI. Insworld Institute Pte Ltd will honour all the terms and conditions set out in the PEI- Student contract and in all related communication materials.
Students may view a copy of the standard PEI-Student Contract here.
All new students have a cooling-off period of seven (7) working days after the date when the Student Contract has been signed by both parties. The student will be refunded the highest percentage (stated in Section D) of the fees already paid if the student submits a written notice of withdrawal to Insworld Institute within the cooling-off period, regardless of whether the Student has started the course or not.
The Singapore Committee for Private Education requires all Private Education Institutions in Singapore to have in place a Fee Protection Scheme. This ensures that any fees paid in advance for an education programme are protected.
Under the Fee Protection Scheme (FPS), any student who has paid fees in advance to Insworld will be able to claim them back if Insworld Institute is unable to deliver its programmes, closes for any reason, or fails to pay penalties or return fees to the students as a result of judgements made against it by the Singapore courts.
With effect from 1st November 2017, Insworld student fees are protected through operating an FPS Insurance Scheme with Lonpac Insurance Bhd, a CPE appointed FPS Service Provider.
All standard compulsory course fees, including tuition fees, additional tuition fees due to a change in programme (subject to a new contract), standard/mandatory examination fees, and enrolment package fees are covered by the FPS. Other miscellaneous items including application fees, re-examination fees, supplementary examination fees, external examination charges for non-standard or non-compulsory exams, Student’s Pass charges, textbooks and stationery do not come under the FPS.
Full details of the FPS can also be found in the FPS Instruction Manual, available here.
Insworld Institute Pte Ltd has in place a group medical insurance scheme for all its students. This medical insurance scheme will have a minimum coverage as follows:- an annual coverage limit of S$20,000 per student, covering up to B2 ward in government and restructured hospitals and providing for 24 hour coverage in Singapore and overseas (if student is involved in Insworld-related activities) throughout the course duration of the student’s course.
