Any rights when cancelling a course half way paying by installments

Dorthe

I'm half way through a course, but finding the teaching and course is not providing me with the knowledge I feel it should. It's been coursing me a sizeable amount of stress and I have decided to stop.

I've been paying the course by installments and still have 4 left (out of 10).

The course provider is demanding I continue to pay these (it was mentioned in terms at the start), however I don't think that's fair.

Do I have any rights, or should I just be lucky I don't have to carry the stress of the course?

Why don't you think it's fair?

You signed a contract saying you would pay and now you want to stop paying, how is that fair to the company providing the training?

Perhaps I feel a little hard done by having to pay 100% of a course, which I don't feel is up to standard, when I've only done 58 % of it?

They have agreed to supply an instructor/lecturer for the whole course.
He will of course need paying whether or not you turn up.

I am sure you will agree that it is unlikely that they can get someone else to take the remaining parts of the course only.
So unless you can find smeone to take your place*, you'll have to pay.

As you are going to pay, it might be a good idea to attend... you never know, you might learn something.


*even that may not be acceptable to the course provider.

Have you made a formal complaint that the course isn't up to standard? Has anyone else complained?

You need to pay and then follow their complaints procedure and if that doesn't work you have recourse to law. But you need to pay in the first instance.
