9. Terms applying if you enrol for a Zenith Technologies course in a Zenith Technologies centre

These terms and conditions (“Terms”) apply to your learning when you enrol on a Zenith Technologies course in a learning centre

Zenith Technologies and your learning centre

Zenith Technologies is the trading name of ZT, which is the provider of your learning. That service to you includes the Zenith Technologies website, your course on the website or any Zenith Technologies off-line materials, and the Zenith Technologies learner helpline.

Your learning centre

Zenith Technologies has contracted with your learning centre to support you through enrolment, use of computers, tutor support while you are learning, and assessment for your qualification. You can learn at the learning centre or online or a mix of the two; your learning centre will be able to provide you with support whichever method you use.

For the purposes of these Terms

‘advisor’ the person who provides general support while you are learning

‘course fee’ means the fee you may be asked to pay for this course.

‘course’ means this course that you are signing up to learn. In the Zenith Technologies system it is referred to as a “programme” because it usually contains more than one piece of learning, and it will prepare you for your qualification.

‘enrol’ means the process of enrolling for a course.

‘learning centre’ means the centre where you are enrolled. You may be actually doing your learning in an ‘outreach location’ that is connected to your learning centre.

‘services’ means the products and services we and the learning centre supply to you including; this Website where your learning takes place, the online course materials you use on the Website, any off-line materials we supply, any help-line services we provide to learners, and the tutor and other support provided to you.

‘tutor’ the person who provides you subject support for your course.

‘we’ and ‘us’ means ZT Limited. Zenith Technologies is the brand name which ZT Ltd uses for its learning services.

‘you’ means the learner.

Enrolment

Your learning centre will help you to choose the correct course. It will assess your skills and knowledge and provide advice and information before you start learning to make sure you choose the right course.

If you are eligible for government funding to pay, or help to pay, for the course, you must provide your learning centre with evidence about yourself and we will obtain that funding for your learning.

You must follow the terms and conditions of the course.

The learning centre will not make other charges to you, or ask for any deposits, for Zenith Technologies learning.

Your learning centre will provide you with the online course materials for the course (and off-line courses if used) and access to Zenith Technologies online systems and the tools and resources for learners you will find there.

By accessing your course you will be deemed to have accepted these Terms and the terms and conditions of the Learning Agreement.

When you have signed the Learning Agreement with us, your learning centre will provide you with a tutor. Your tutor will provide support and guidance to you during your course.

Your course

Your course is a mixture of online software, (or off-line course materials) tools and information on the Website, and tutor support from your learning centre. The course is designed to help you to achieve the qualification you have chosen with support from your learning centre. Whether you pay a fee or not, you are not “buying” the course. You are being licensed to “use” the course while you are on the course. You cannot “keep” the course for ever. You cannot give or sell the course or any of the learning materials to anyone else. The course always remains the property of Zenith Technologies.

Assessment:

Assessment is an important part of your course. It is the only way to get the qualification that you want when you have finished your learning. Once you have been assessed and passed, you will get your certificate for your qualification. There is no extra charge for assessment and certification.

Quality of the services

We will, (and we will use our reasonable endeavours to ensure that your learning centre will), use reasonable skill and care in providing the services to you. We do not make any commitment to you that the content of the services will meet any specific requirements that you have (except to the extent that your requirements match the course description which is given in more detail on the Website). We expect you to take reasonable care to make sure that the course you have chosen will meet your needs.

We do not make any commitment to you that you will obtain any particular result from your receipt of the services. We do not make any commitment to you that you will obtain any particular qualification from your receipt of the services (unless stated otherwise in the course description on the Website subject to your successful achievement of that qualification). All representations, warranties and/or terms and/or commitments not expressly set out in these Terms and the terms and conditions of the Learning Agreement (whether implied by law, conduct, and statute or otherwise) are hereby excluded to the maximum extent permissible at law.

Password and Learner Reference Number

When you registered for Zenith Technologies you may be given a user name and password. You must take care to keep your user name and password confidential. You will be responsible for all activities that occur under your user name and password. You must not allow anyone else to use your user name and password. You must tell us immediately of any unauthorised use of your user name or password or if you believe that your user name or password are no longer confidential.

If anyone asks you for your password you must tell your tutor or advisor.

We will provide you with access to your course once you have enrolled. You will need to log on using your user name and password to use the course.

Provision of the Services

Help: You will find help with your learning in several ways. You can send a message or speak to your advisor or tutor.

Computer compatibility on your own machine: You can log onto the Website from any computer using your assigned user name and password. The computers in your learning centre have been tested to make sure they work with our courses. However, not all computers have all the software needed to use every course Zenith Technologies provides, so we do not make any commitment that the course software will be compatible with or operate with the software or hardware on your own computer. If your computer does not have the necessary software installed you will be able to download the software from the Website (at your cost and risk) that should allow you to use the course. If it cannot, and you want to learn from home, your learning centre will help you to choose another suitable course, or refund any course fee you have paid.

If we recommend that you either enable cookies or download certain publicly accessible software to ensure that your computer is capable of accessing the course, you do so at your own risk. We may use cookies to check the compatibility of your system with some of our services.

If when you are doing your course you need to use software which is not provided as part of the course, or as a free download from the Website, you will be responsible for any charges from the software supplier.

Technical Support: Your learning centre will provide basic technical support to learners to help them to use our courses. Your learning centre cannot provide technical help that is not about using your Zenith Technologies course. Please contact an advisor at your learning centre for technical help using the Zenith Technologies courses. There is a FAQ and a “How to” guide and a contact form on the Website. We will use reasonable skill and care in providing any technical support and to ensure that this service is available to you. Zenith Technologies cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability of its technical support. We do not guarantee that the technical advice provided by us will resolve your technical problems.

You agree that you will lose your above right to cancel the course and get a refund of any course fee you have paid if you have started using the course. This will not affect your statutory rights.
