In order to facilitate planning, ensure appropriate allocation of resources, and guarantee the successful delivery of our professional training programmes, please take note of the following policy rules regarding course acceptance, participant conduct, scheduling adjustments, and refunds.

01 Acceptance to Course & Attendee Conduct

Confirmation of a secured position in any scheduled programme is strictly subject to the satisfaction of the following two conditions:

  2. Written Validation: Official receipt of a confirmation email or physical confirmation letter issued to the applicant directly from Sapience.

Once accepted into a course, the participant's attendance at the initial session indicates their binding agreement to:

  • Fully meet and satisfy all specified course prerequisites prior to attendance.
  • Strictly adhere to course schedules, timings, and milestone agendas.
  • Exhibit proper professional conduct to facilitate a supportive learning environment.
  • Refrain completely from engaging in harassment, physical/verbal aggression, or abuse of any kind.

  • Attain the minimum required course attendance (typically 75% or higher depending on guidelines) and complete all learning benchmarks to remain eligible for graduation and subsidies.
