By using the HM eLearning portal, you confirm that you accept these terms and conditions and that you agree to comply with them. If you do not agree to these terms and conditions, you must not use the HM portal and inform us immediately, in writing and via email to [email protected] prior to commencing the online course material.

Access to Courses and Outcome Certification

We will endeavour to allow uninterrupted access to your eLearning material, but access to the courses may be suspended, restricted or terminated at any time. We reserve the right to change, modify, substitute or remove without notice any information in the material from time to time.

You will have access to the courses you have purchased for a fixed period from the date of purchase. Assessment access periods are from the date of purchase and these periods are course specific and detailed within the appending eLearning Enrolment Periods document that accompanies these eLearning terms and conditions within your booking confirmation email.

During the eLearning Enrolment Period, it is the responsibility of the user to download and retain any in-system outcome certificates. Should the enrolment period lapse and the user require HM to recover such certification, a 10% of full course cost administration charge will apply. Please note that this does not apply for any externally certified courses such those certified by the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH).

Course Extensions

Course access can be extended for several periods of up to a year. The cost of an extension period is calculated as a percentage of the full course cost (without any discount applied) as follows:

  • 1 Month = 25%
  • 3 Months = 40%
  • 6 Months = 50%
  • 12 Months = 60%

Cancellations and Transfers

Courses purchased cannot be cancelled if the user has accessed the Learning Management System (Portal) by logging in.

Courses may be cancelled within a timeframe of 14 days from booking, pending the user(s) has not accessed the content.

Where organisations have availed of discounted user banding (multi-user saver plans), and then subsequently cancelled users, resulting in their applicable discount falling within a higher priced band, HM reserve the right to readjust and re-invoice for any outstanding monies owed.

Please note that in-company bulk enrolments discounted costs expire after 6-months of original quote. Thereafter, standard costs apply.  

Multi-user saver pricing bands can be viewed on our website.

Transfers (i.e., Name changes)

During an enrolment period, learners may be swapped for an alternative learner upon request, provided that the original learner has not yet logged into the Learning Management System (Portal). Any requests for learner name changes must be requested via email [email protected] and made within the enrolment period. The new learner’s enrolment period will be the remainder of the original learner’s enrolment period. The decision to name change learners will be at the discretion of the eLearning Lead.
