Courses five weeks or more but less than three months: If the course is of five weeks or more but less than three months and the withdrawal occurs up to the end of the fifth day after the start of the course: In such cases, the PTE must pay an amount equal to the fees paid less a deduction of 25 per cent. Courses under five weeks: If the course is under five weeks and the withdrawal occurs up to the end of the second day after the start of the course: In such cases, the PTE must pay an amount equal to the fees paid less a deduction of 50 per cent. However, if two days constitutes the full amount of tuition paid for by the student, the PTE may retain 100 per cent of the payment.
