Terms and Conditions
1. About these terms and who we are
1.1 These Terms and Conditions govern your use of www.nursetrainer.org (the Website), our learning portal, and your enrolment in any course, class or programme we provide (together, the Services).
1.2 The Services are provided by Vinod Sasidharan as trustee for the Vinod and Divya Family Trust, ABN 41 902 216 754, trading as Nurse Trainer, of 33 Walter Drive, Thornlands QLD 4164, Australia (“Nurse Trainer”, “we”, “us”, “our”).
1.3 By accessing the Website, submitting an enquiry, or enrolling in a course, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Services.
1.4 These terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect and handle personal information.
2. Eligibility
2.1 You must be at least 18 years of age to enrol in a course or create an account.
2.2 If you are between 16 and 18 years of age, you may enrol only with the written consent of a parent or legal guardian, who accepts these terms on your behalf and is responsible for payment.
2.3 You confirm that the information you give us on enrolment is true and complete, and that you will keep it up to date.
3. What we provide, and what we do not
3.1 Nurse Trainer is an independent education and training provider. We prepare nurses and healthcare professionals for licensing and English language examinations through live classes, study materials, practice questions, mock examinations and personalised feedback.
3.2 We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of any regulator, examination body or testing organisation. This includes, without limitation, the Australian Health Practitioner Regulation Agency (AHPRA), the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia (NMBA), the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN), CGFNS International, OET (Cambridge Boxhill Language Assessment), Pearson, the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC), the Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland (NMBI), or any Ministry or Department of Health. All examination names and trade marks are the property of their respective owners and are used only to describe the examinations for which we provide preparation.
3.3 We do not provide immigration advice, migration agent services, legal advice, visa assistance, recruitment or job placement. Nothing we say, in class or in writing, should be relied upon as advice of that kind. You should obtain independent advice from a registered migration agent or lawyer about your visa or registration pathway.
3.4 We do not lodge applications with, or communicate on your behalf with, any regulator or examination body. You are responsible for your own registration, eligibility, examination booking and fees.
3.5 Examination formats, eligibility criteria, fees, venues and regulatory pathways are set by third parties and change from time to time. While we make reasonable efforts to keep our materials current, you must verify current requirements directly with the relevant regulator or examination body before making any decision.
4. No guarantee of results
4.1 We do not guarantee that you will pass any examination, obtain registration, secure employment, or obtain a visa. Examination results depend on many factors outside our control, including your preparation, prior knowledge, attendance, English proficiency and performance on the day.
4.2 Any pass rates, statistics, testimonials or results published on the Website are historical, reflect the experience of particular students, and are not a promise or prediction of your result.
4.3 Our courses are preparation programmes. Completing a course, achieving a particular score in a mock examination, or receiving a readiness indication under our Personalised Performance Monitoring process does not guarantee a pass.
5. Enrolment, fees and payment
5.1 Your enrolment is confirmed when we accept your enrolment and receive payment, or the first instalment if instalments have been agreed in writing.
5.2 Course fees are displayed on the Website in the currency shown for your region. For students in Australia, fees quoted in Australian dollars include GST. For students outside Australia, GST does not apply, and the fee shown is the amount payable.
5.3 You are responsible for any taxes, bank charges, currency conversion costs or transaction fees imposed in your country. Amounts received by us net of such charges may result in a shortfall that you must pay.
5.4 We may change our fees at any time. A change will not affect a course you have already paid for.
5.5 We do not offer instalment plans at this stage. Fees are payable in full before your course begins, unless we agree otherwise with you in writing. If you would like to discuss payment terms, please contact us at info@nursetrainer.org.
5.6 If an agreed payment is not made by its due date, we may suspend access to classes and materials until payment is received. We will give you reasonable notice before doing so.
6. Refunds, cancellations and transfers
6.1 Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law are set out in clause 21 and are not limited by this clause.
6.2 Cooling off period. If you cancel within 14 days of enrolment, and before you have attended more than 2 live classes or downloaded a substantial part of the course materials, we will refund your fees in full, less any non recoverable transaction costs.
6.3 After the cooling off period, fees are generally non refundable, because places in a live cohort are limited and reserved for you. We will nonetheless consider a partial refund, credit or deferral on compassionate grounds, including serious illness, bereavement or a visa refusal, on production of reasonable evidence.
6.4 Transfers and deferrals. You may request to transfer to a later cohort once, at no charge, if you give us at least 7 days notice before your cohort begins. Later or repeated transfers may attract a reasonable administration fee, which we will tell you about before you commit.
6.5 If we cancel a course, or a cohort does not proceed, you may choose a full refund of fees paid for that course, or a credit toward another course.
6.6 Examination fees paid by you to a regulator or examination body are never refundable by us, as we do not receive them.
6.7 Refunds are made to the original payment method within a reasonable period, and in the currency in which payment was received.
7. Course delivery and changes
7.1 Classes are delivered live, in the classroom or online, according to the timetable published for your cohort. Recordings are made available where indicated.
7.2 We may change trainers, timetables, class times, delivery method, platform or content where reasonably necessary. Where a change is material, we will give you reasonable notice and, if the change substantially disadvantages you, a transfer to another cohort or a refund of the unused portion of your fees.
7.3 Live classes require a minimum number of enrolments. If a cohort does not reach that number, we may reschedule it or offer you an alternative, with the choices in clause 6.5 available to you.
7.4 Access to the learning portal is granted for the period stated for your course. Access is personal to you and ends on expiry.
7.5 We are not responsible for your own equipment, internet connection or software, or for interruptions caused by them.
8. Your account and conduct
8.1 Your account and login are personal to you. You must not share, sell or transfer them. Account sharing is a common cause of access being withdrawn without refund.
8.2 You must keep your login details secure and tell us promptly if you suspect unauthorised use.
8.3 You agree to behave respectfully toward trainers, staff and other students. We do not tolerate harassment, discrimination, abusive language, or disruptive behaviour in class, in chat, or in any group associated with a course.
8.4 You must not record, photograph or screen capture any class, or any part of the learning materials, without our prior written consent.
8.5 You must not use the Services to cheat, to solicit or share live examination content, or to breach the rules of any examination body. Sharing recalled or live examination questions is a serious breach of examination rules and of these terms.
9. Intellectual property
9.1 All course materials, including recordings, slides, notes, question banks, mock examinations, templates, checklists and the content of the Website, are owned by or licensed to Nurse Trainer and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
9.2 On enrolment we grant you a personal, non exclusive, non transferable licence to use the materials for your own study only, for the duration of your access period.
9.3 You must not copy, reproduce, republish, upload, distribute, sell, sublicense, or make the materials available to any other person, including by posting them to messaging groups, file sharing services, social media or any other platform.
9.4 You must not use our materials to train, fine tune or ground any artificial intelligence or machine learning system, or submit them to any such system, without our prior written consent.
9.5 We may pursue civil remedies, and terminate your access without refund, for a breach of this clause.
9.6 You retain ownership of work you submit to us, such as writing tasks and recordings. You grant us a licence to use it for the purpose of teaching, assessing and giving you feedback. We will seek your separate written consent before using your work, image or words in any marketing.
10. Testimonials, reviews and results
10.1 We publish testimonials only with the consent of the student concerned. You may withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us, and we will remove the testimonial within a reasonable period.
10.2 Where we publish a pass rate or other performance statistic, we will state clearly what it measures and over what period, and we retain the records supporting it.
11. Website use
11.1 You may use the Website for lawful purposes only. You must not attempt to gain unauthorised access to it, introduce malicious code, scrape it at scale, or interfere with its operation or security.
11.2 The Website may contain links to third party sites, including regulators and examination bodies. Those links are provided for convenience. We do not control and are not responsible for their content.
