If PGA enrols a Learner in a Training Course, it will notify the Learner in writing of such enrolment (such notice will specify the date, time and location of the Training Course).

The Learner and the Employer each acknowledge and agree that PGA will apply the ‘Payment, Refund and Cancellation Policy’.

4. Course fees: The fees for enrolling in a Training Course are as set out in the Fees and Charges form (Fees). PGA may, from time to time, vary the Fees by publishing those prices within its new Enrolment Forms.

5. Payment of fees: The Fees must be paid by either the Learner or the Employer at the time the Enrolment Form is submitted to PGA. The Learner and the Employer each acknowledge that PGA will not enrol the Learner until the Fees are paid as per the payment schedule or dates provided.

The Learner and the Employer each acknowledge and agree that PGA will apply the ‘Payment, Refund and Cancellation Policy’ set out in the Enrolment Form.

Short Courses and Individual units (including Support the Supply of Pharmacy Medicines and Pharmacist Only Medicines):

Notification of withdrawal from the course/unit must be immediate and in writing. If notification is within 30 days of registration, training has not commenced, a partial refund of 80% of tuition fees applies. Otherwise, no refund applies.

Charges also apply for replacement workbooks ($25), replacement Statements of Attainment ($50) and transcripts of results ($20).

To ensure that students are completing the most current assessment requirements, we advise that any enrolments on short courses are valid for a maximum of 6 months. Any assessments received after this timeframe will require the student to re-enrol and therefore incur additional fees.
