When applying for a program, every student is required to complete a Student Application and Enrolment form, which is a contract between both parties for the delivery of vocational training and assessment services. This form provides ASMI with vital information to assist in the provision of personalised support services to students.

Within this form is previous work experience, previous study and disability information fields.  Employees of ASMI take into account this information when determining the level of support needed and make contact with a student where necessary to request additional information or to arrange a meeting.

Additional support services may include:

> Language, literacy and numeracy support
> Disability support
> Unjustifiable hardship
> Transition support
> Referrals to external support services

If you are a current student and would like additional support in your course of study, please contact the administration office for advice.

ASMI is committed to ensuring arrangements with learners are honored and if any changes to the arrangements i.e. program upgrades occur, that the details of the changes and the options of the learner will be communicated to them as soon as reasonably practicable.

Where a program is replaced by a new program version or another similar program, the learners’ enrolment is transferred immediately to the replacement version or other program.

Where a program is discontinued without replacement, current learners have a right to complete the program within the specified teach-out period; affected applicants have a right to receive counselling about their study options to achieve their career objectives. In these instances if ASMI does not offer another program suitable for the learner, we may approach other institutions to arrange, if possible, preferential entry.

If ASMI or a third party delivering training and assessment on its behalf, closes or ceases to deliver any part of the training product that the learner is enrolled in; ASMI will offer a refund of all the course money paid to that date. The refund will be paid within 2 weeks of the day on which the training ceased being provided.

Learners that transition when a program or program offering is discontinued will be offered support from ASMI during the transition including advice to carry out actions to vary learner’s enrolment and applicants’ offers.
