  1. Our Position and What We Provide 2.1 Independent training provider

Xcademia is an independent professional training provider. Unless explicitly stated in writing, Xcademia is not an accredited training provider, examination institute, or certification authority of any Third-Party Awarding Body.

2.2 Training alignment

Where we reference an exam, framework, or standard, the Training may be aligned to published objectives or recognised best practices. Alignment does not mean endorsement, accreditation, authorisation, or certification by any Third-Party Awarding Body.

2.3 No guarantees of outcomes

Training can improve capability, but outcomes depend on the Learner and circumstances. Therefore, unless required by law:

We do not guarantee exam results, certification outcomes, employment, promotions, salary increases, or business outcomes.

We do not guarantee that any Third-Party Awarding Body will accept Training completion as meeting their eligibility requirements.

  1. Xcademia Certificates 3.1 Certificates of Completion

We may issue an Xcademia Certificate of Completion to confirm attendance and participation in a Course. This certificate is issued by Xcademia and is not an official certification issued by any Third-Party Awarding Body.

3.2 Certificates of Achievement

For certain Courses, we may issue an Xcademia Certificate of Achievement based on internal assessments, lab performance, coursework, or participation criteria described for that Course. This certificate:

Represents achievement measured against Xcademia’s internal criteria

Is not a substitute for any Third-Party Awarding Body certification or licence

Does not confer regulated professional status unless explicitly stated

We may withhold Xcademia certificates where:

payment is overdue

academic integrity rules are breached

the Learner is removed for misconduct

identity cannot be reasonably verified for remote delivery

  1. Orders, Contract Formation, and Priority

A contract is formed when we accept your booking and payment (or when we confirm a purchase order in writing). If there is any conflict between:

these Terms

a proposal or booking confirmation

a purchase order

then these Terms apply unless we expressly agree otherwise in writing.

  1. Pricing, Taxes, and Currency

Quotations are valid for 7 days unless stated otherwise.

Prices exclude VAT and local taxes unless stated. Taxes are charged according to applicable law.

Bank charges, currency conversion fees, and international transfer costs are your responsibility.

Travel and accommodation are excluded unless included in writing.

  1. Payment Terms 6.1 Standard rule

6.2 Purchase orders

If we accept a purchase order, it must state: course title, dates, delivery mode, price, tax, and billing contact.

Where permitted by law and for business Clients, late payments may incur statutory interest and recovery costs.

6.4 Chargebacks and payment disputes

If you raise a chargeback or payment dispute, we may suspend access to Training and Digital Content while the dispute is investigated. We will provide evidence of service delivery, access logs, and communications to the payment provider.

  1. Delivery and Access 7.1 Instructor-led training

Timetables, trainers, venues, and session details may change for operational reasons. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you.

7.3 Minimum technical requirements

You are responsible for ensuring you have adequate equipment, software, connectivity, and access permissions to participate.

  1. Changes, Substitutions, and Course Updates

We may update Course content to keep it current and practical. We may substitute trainers with appropriately qualified professionals. Minor updates do not entitle you to cancel. If a material change occurs, we will offer reasonable options.

  1. Cancellations and Rescheduling

This section is designed to be fair and enforceable globally, while preserving mandatory consumer protections.

9.1 Cancellation by Xcademia

We may cancel or reschedule due to circumstances beyond reasonable control (including trainer unavailability, venue issues, technical failures, or insufficient enrolment). If we cancel, you may choose:

a rescheduled date

an alternative delivery mode

a refund of fees paid for the affected Course

We are not responsible for your travel or accommodation costs unless required by law.

9.2 Cancellation by you (Instructor-led Courses)

To cancel, you must notify us in writing.

For business Clients (B2B):

31+ days before start date: refund minus reasonable admin costs

16 to 30 days: up to 50 percent charge (reflecting committed delivery costs)

0 to 15 days: up to 100 percent charge (delivery and trainer costs committed)

For individual consumers (B2C): We apply the same structure, but where consumer protection law requires a different remedy, your statutory rights apply and override.

9.3 Rescheduling by you (Instructor-led Courses)

Rescheduling is subject to availability and may attract reasonable admin and rebooking costs, particularly where trainer and venue costs have been committed.

9.4 Non-attendance

Non-attendance and partial attendance are treated as cancellation without notice and are non-refundable except where required by law.

  1. Digital Content, Self-Paced Courses, and Immediate Access

Digital Content may be made available immediately after purchase. Where you request immediate access, you acknowledge that this may affect any cancellation rights that would otherwise apply to digital content under local consumer laws.

Where refunds are required by law, we may deduct a reasonable amount for the proportion of Digital Content already supplied or consumed, where permitted.

  1. Exams, Third-Party Vouchers, and Certification Bodies

Any exam objectives referenced are owned by Third-Party Awarding Bodies.

Unless expressly agreed in writing, Xcademia does not sell exam vouchers and does not administer Third-Party certification exams.

You are responsible for checking eligibility, booking rules, technical requirements, and policies of the Third-Party Awarding Body.

  1. Learner Conduct, Academic Integrity, and Acceptable Use

harassment, discrimination, abuse, or disruption

cheating, impersonation, collusion, or misuse of assessments

unauthorised sharing of materials, labs, recordings, or credentials

cyber misuse of lab environments or networks

  1. Onsite Training Responsibilities

For training at a Client site, the Client must provide a safe environment and suitable facilities. If conditions are unsafe or unsuitable, we may pause or stop delivery. Fees may still be payable where costs have been incurred.

  1. Intellectual Property and Use Restrictions

All Xcademia materials, including courseware, labs, designs, and platform content, remain Xcademia’s intellectual property or the property of our licensors. You may use them only for personal learning within the Course. You must not:

copy, share, resell, publish, or distribute materials

record sessions without written permission

share login credentials or allow unauthorised access

We may use technical measures to prevent misuse.

  1. Recording

Unauthorised audio, video, screen recording, or photography during sessions is prohibited unless we agree in writing. This does not prevent lawful recording where required under applicable law (for example, accessibility or legal compliance), provided it is disclosed and limited to lawful purposes.

  1. Confidentiality

Each party must keep confidential information confidential and use it only for delivery and participation in Training, except where disclosure is required by law.

  1. Data Protection

We process personal data in line with applicable data protection laws, including UK GDPR and other relevant legislation. Details are set out in our Privacy Policy. Where required, we may use third-party platforms (for example video conferencing and learning platforms) for delivery.

  1. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law:

Our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees paid for the affected Course.

We are not liable for indirect losses, loss of profits, loss of data, or business interruption.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded by law.

  1. Personal Property

Learners are responsible for their own belongings. We accept no liability for loss or damage.

  1. Force Majeure

We are not liable for delay or failure caused by events beyond reasonable control, including severe weather, acts of government, outages, strikes, or similar disruptions.
