General terms and conditions of sale
Article 1. Definition of student
The term "student" refers to the natural person to whom the training is provided. The full identity of the student is that indicated on the enrolment contract signed by both parties.
Article 2. Teaching
Teaching includes :
The provision of teaching aids in accordance with the program of study, automatically deposited in the student's space.
The work guidelines and advice required to ensure that the student's learning progresses smoothly.
The provision of assistance and pedagogical support throughout the training period (on-call duty, coaching and telephone appointments, messaging with trainers). The aim of this support is to receive and deal with any questions you may have about understanding the course. This presence is included in the Neurolink training curriculum and is designed to offer a high level of training quality and follow-up.
As an option, a remote or face-to-face coaching package is available for personalized support, both pedagogical and professional. The amount of each package will be determined according to each student's needs and project. All requests must be sent by e-mail or post to the Institute, to be studied by the trainers.
At the end of the course, the student will receive a certificate of completion, mentioning the dates and title of the course, in accordance with article L.335-15 of the French Education Code.
This certificate is issued on condition that all modules have been completed and the full course fee paid. The certificate attests to the personal investment made by the student throughout the course and will enable him/her to make the most of his/her training as part of his/her career plan.
It is strictly forbidden to teach all or part of the Neurolink course content to anyone else, as it requires a high level of practical experience.
If the training is financed by an organization, the student undertakes to :
- Completing the training in full and to the required standard.
- Return all signed documents sent by Neurolink Institute, i.e:
1) The training program, sent after return of the signed contract.
2) The training completion certificate.
Even if these conditions are not met, Neurolink Institute reserves the right to invoice the student for the entire training program.
In the event of payment pending final approval, the student undertakes to pay for the course in full. The student will be reimbursed once the course has been paid for by the funding organization.
Article 3. Access to training materials
Once the first payment has been received, the student has access to the online prerequisites.
Neurolink Institute will provide the student with all the teaching aids required to follow the training course in the best possible conditions.
The provision of the various teaching aids is subject to the student being up to date with his or her payments to Neurolink Institute, according to the payment schedule chosen by the student.
For better assimilation of knowledge, tutorials will be available on the student space after each training module, following registration.
The Neurolink Institute reserves the right to modify its study program and/or the order in which courses are delivered, in order to improve and update training content in line with the latest advances in knowledge and developments implemented by the Institute.
The distribution of course content to third parties or online, even partially, is strictly forbidden.
Article 4. Inter-module practice
During the time left free to the student between the 2 training modules, he/she is asked to practice on as many patients/clients as possible what he/she has learned during module 1. This enables them to improve their practice and be confronted with a wider range of cases. A minimum of 30 patients/clients per month will be required. The student is responsible for finding these patients/clients on his or her own.
Article 5. Registration formalities
Subject to validation by the pedagogical department, the contract will come into effect upon acceptance of the General Terms and Conditions of Sale, signature of the enrollment contract and payment of the deposit stipulated in this contract.
Minors are not authorized to register for this course.
Article 6. Course duration
The average duration of training is approximately 7 to 9 months, from the time of enrolment.
For reasons specific to the student, he or she may momentarily suspend his or her learning progress, allowing more time than the 3/4 months scheduled between the 2 modules. However, this break cannot exceed 1 year.
This one-off interruption does not entail any postponement of the initial financing plan. All due dates must be paid, unless the school agrees otherwise. However, if the interruption is longer than 12 months, the institute may update the fees in line with changes in teaching content.
In the case of a suspension or interruption of 12 months or more, the school will consider the possibility of force majeure. A case of force majeure may be invoked in the event of long-term illness (on presentation of a medical certificate), death, etc.
Article 7. Course price
