Introduction
Participants should familiarise themselves with all the rules, regulations, and
procedures relevant to their pursuit of study, including those published in the
Center brochures and Web site. Exceptions
to any of these following rules, regulations, and procedures must be secured in
writing from the CPDNetwork, Center for Professional Development and Networking.
No other officials or staffs of Center for Professional Development and Networking
are authorised to grant such exceptions independently. Any participant who is
in doubt about how a rule, regulation, or procedure applies to her or him should
seek clarification from us in writing. We
reserve the right to alter such academic or financial conditions as the following:
admission requirements; the arrangement of courses; completion requirements; and
fees. Other provisions affecting participants may also be changed as necessary.
Such rules, regulations, and procedures may govern both new and continuing participants
and will be considered effective-and an integral part of this codification-after
notice of the change has been posted on this Website. Unawareness
of these rules will not be accepted as an excuse for failure to act in accordance
with them. Application
Procedure
We accept both electronic and paper applications for those
seeking admissions to seminar/workshop and course. We strongly recommend that
applicants submit electronic applications. The online application will significantly
expedite the processing of an individual's application. The deadlines and specific
requirements for admissions vary by seminar/workshop and course. To
apply for a seminar/workshop and course the following items may be needed:
- Seminar/Workshop
and Course Application Form
Electronic
Application
Applicants are strongly encouraged to submit an electronic online
version of the application form to CPDNetwork. The online application form is
the preferred method of application. It is convenient and easy to use, and is
submitted directly to us for immediate processing. This form should be submitted
according to the detailed guidelines found on our Web site. The online application
form, application fee, and all required electronic and paper documents should
be received by the date provided in the seminar/workshop and course description
on the website. However, a confirmation will follow by email to you to confirm
status of application. Printed
Paper Application
Applicants unable to access the online application may complete
the formal paper application provided by us. The paper version of the application
requires submission of the application with all supporting materials in a self-assembled
packet. The appropriate forms should be submitted, with all required documents,
by the deadline dates provided in the seminar/workshop and course description
on the Web site. The
application form must be submitted with a non-refundable fee of $50. Instructions
for method of payment vary by method of application. For fees submitted with a
paper application packet, applicants may pay by check or cash. Note: The applicant's
name, Passport or NRIC number, and seminar/workshop and course applying to, should
be printed clearly on the check. Requests for waiver of the application fee are
not accepted. Admission
Once all materials have been received and an application is considered complete
it will be considered for admissions. Early application and registration are encouraged,
as enrollment in all seminars/workshops and courses are limited and sections may
fill before the published deadlines. Enrollment
Deposit
Applicants who have been accepted for admission are required
to submit a non-refundable deposit of 10% of the total fee to secure their place
in the seminar/workshop and course. Registration
Participants who are accepted into the courses will be sent detailed instruction
on how to pay and register online or via paper form. Payment options may be available
upon request. Registrations are only accepted with appropriate payment. A
Registration Acknowledgment Form listing class time, dates, and location, and
other relevant information will be sent as confirmation to all participants in
each seminar/workshop and course. All seminars/ workshops and courses are offered
contingent upon sufficient enrollment and may be canceled due to insufficient
enrollment. Withdrawal
& Refund Policy
If you cannot attend a particular seminar/workshop
and course, please let us know as soon as possible in writing. All withdrawals
will be levied a $50 administration fee. To receive a refund, we must receive
written notification at least 5 days before the first class begins. Application
fees, and deposits where applicable, are not refundable. Certificate
Completion
Appropriate Certificates are awarded for successful completion
of all required courses and projects when required. Successful completion is based
on full attendance (defined as being present in the classroom for 90% of all scheduled
instruction) and completion of all course requirements. Equal
