The Academy may, at its sole and absolute discretion, grant an extension of access to the Platform or to any new or additional platforms, as well as access to supplementary content, courses, live-streamed lessons, materials or features beyond those included in the original training programme.
Any such extension is optional, not due, and granted purely as a commercial courtesy. The granting of an extension shall not constitute, imply or be interpreted as an acknowledgment of any breach, deficiency, delay, liability or shortcoming on the part of the Academy.
An extension of access may be granted exclusively in one of the following two circumstances.
First circumstance – Extension for completion of the original training path.
An extension period may be granted to a student who has not yet completed the activities, examinations, assignments or evaluations required by the original training programme and who requires additional time solely for the purpose of completing such remaining requirements.
In this case, the student must submit a formal written request for extension through email or an official support channel designated by the Academy. The request must expressly state that the original training path has not been completed and that the extension is requested exclusively to complete the outstanding activities, examinations or content.
Only students who have submitted such formal request and whose request has been expressly approved by the Academy shall be considered as falling within this first circumstance.
Second circumstance – Extension for access to additional or extra content.
An extension period may also be granted to students who have already completed the original training programme and who request additional time exclusively in order to access supplementary or new content, additional courses, new platforms, live-streamed lessons or materials that were not included in the original programme.
In this second circumstance, by accepting the extension period, the student expressly acknowledges and confirms that:
• the original training path has been completed in full;
• all required activities, evaluations and procedures of the original programme have been carried out in accordance with the established modalities;
• the original academic path is to be considered completed, concluded and administratively closed.
The student further acknowledges that, in this second circumstance, the extension period constitutes an additional and separate access, granted on an optional and non-due basis, and falling entirely outside the scope of the original contract.
If a student has not submitted a formal written request for an extension for completion purposes as described in the first circumstance, any extension granted shall be deemed to fall under the second circumstance and shall therefore relate exclusively to additional or extra content beyond the original training programme.
In all cases, any extension period granted does not modify, reopen, extend or renew the original contract, which shall remain governed exclusively by the Terms and Conditions accepted at the time of initial enrolment and shall be considered fully concluded upon expiry of the original access period.
The granting of any extension period does not create any automatic right to further extensions, renewals or similar concessions. Any such decision shall always remain subject to the Academy’s sole discretion and independent evaluation.
Students are required to conduct themselves in a respectful, cooperative and professional manner at all times when interacting with the Academy, its Platform, its Content, and all individuals involved in the delivery of the training programmes, including instructors, teachers, staff, collaborators and other students.
Any behaviour that, in the Academy’s reasonable assessment, interferes with, disrupts or negatively affects the proper delivery of the courses or the learning environment shall be considered a breach of these Terms.
Such behaviour may include, without limitation:
• repeated or excessive communications that obstruct or overload official support channels, email systems or organisational processes;
• inappropriate, disrespectful, aggressive or disruptive behaviour during live sessions, in-person activities or online interactions;
• offensive, abusive, defamatory or hostile conduct towards instructors, teachers, staff, collaborators or other students;
• conduct that undermines the educational environment, the community, or the Academy’s ability to deliver its Services effectively.
The Academy reserves the right to assess such behaviour on a case-by-case basis and, at its sole discretion, to take any measures it deems appropriate to protect the integrity of the training programmes and the learning environment.
Such measures may include, without limitation:
• formal warnings;
• temporary suspension of access to the Platform or to specific activities;
• permanent removal from the course or training programme.
In cases of serious or repeated misconduct, the Academy may permanently exclude the student from the training programme without prior notice.
Any removal or exclusion for disciplinary reasons shall not entitle the student to any refund, compensation or reimbursement, and shall not affect the student’s obligation to pay any outstanding amounts due under the contract.
The Academy’s decision regarding disciplinary measures shall be final and shall not constitute a breach of contract.
