The Client must satisfy the entry requirements for the selected Programme and provide appropriate evidence, in order to be considered.
3. Overseas students
RDI is able to accept international students. Fees may vary and acceptance will depend upon the Programme availability. Individual Clients may be referred to a local RDI centre and will be subject to the terms and conditions of the local centre.
4. Programme fees
RDI Programme fees may not include registration or membership of relevant professional bodies. Please refer to RDI fees.
Payment of the full fee, minimum deposit or an official company sponsorship letter must accompany all Client applications. Instalments will only be available to individual clients. Fee payment via company sponsorship must be made in full, upon receipt of an invoice. Where an invoice is raised, fees are payable within 14 days from the date of the invoice. In all circumstances, a company sponsoring an application is responsible for payment of the full fees due. In the event of assessment failure a £50 re-assessment fee will be payable.
RDI reserves the right to cancel the issuing of Programme materials, tutor support and assessment in the event of non-payment of Programme fees.
RDI reserves the right to change the fees without prior notice. Programme fees charged will be those set at time of application. RDI reserves the right to levy additional fees if the awarding body increases their fees.
Programme fees on enrolment are guaranteed to be offered at a fixed rate for the minimum duration of the client's study which is normally 2 years for a MBA or HND, and 1 year for a final year top-up degree.
5. Programme duration and content
Tutor support will be available for the duration of a Programme as detailed in the RDI brochure. After this time tutor support will cease.
Programme materials
Client Programme materials in conjunction with tutor support are designed to provide the information required to successfully complete the Programme. Additional reading recommendations are available for areas of special interest to Clients and these should be purchased by the Client separately as appropriate.
A timetable is designed to help the Client to prepare for assessment. It is recommended that Clients follow the guidelines given. If Clients are not able to meet assessment deadlines they must contact their tutor or the RDI office, immediately. Failure to meet assessment deadlines may result in an additional fee, depending upon the Programme studied.
Assignments should be returned to the Clients’ tutor or programme co-ordinator as appropriate, these will be marked and relevant feedback provided. Resubmission of assignments may be possible, at the discretion of RDI and the accrediting partner.
Where it is specified, RDI will register Clients for examinations. For all other Programmes it will be necessary for the Client to contact the relevant professional body to arrange examinations directly. Responsibility for these arrangements will lie with the Client.
