Access and Equity
The Systems 3 Group ensures that all participants
are provided with equal opportunities to learn through the
fair allocation of resources and the right to equality of
opportunity without discrimination. The Systems 3 Group tries
to ensure that the selected venue does not disadvantage people
with disabilities. Where the venue cannot cater for certain
disabilities, then course participants will be advised of
any limitations at the time of registration. Program timing
can be varied to suit religious commitments. Advance notice
of potential barriers to learning will assist S3G in ensuring
optimum outcomes for all.
Access to Presenters
The Systems 3 Group understands that individual
participants may require “one-on–one” assistance
during a program. All S3G presenters are available to provide
individual tuition during a program. This service is offered
free of additional charge.
Appeals and Complaints
The Systems 3 Group is committed to maintaining
openness and fairness in all assessment decisions. All participants
who wish to appeal an assessment outcome should do so in writing.
Initial appeals are considered internally. Should this process
not achieve an agreement, a mutually acceptable third party
will be appointed at S3G's expense.
Appeals and Complaints –
RABQSA International Recognised Programs
Should there be no satisfactory resolution
to your appeal with respect to RABQSA International recognised
programs, you may advise RABQSA in writing of the nature and
detail of the appeal. RABQSA will not over-ride an existing examination,
but reserves the right to request a re-examination by S3G
or another Training Provider. The Candidate or Graduate will
remain responsible for any costs associated with re-examination
Confirmation of Attendance
The Systems 3 Group will confirm all participant
bookings in writing. Confirmation of attendance can only be
made upon receipt of payment. S3G account holders are not
required to make advance payments. An account application
form is available on request from The Systems 3 Group.

Participant cancellations and
transfers
We understand that, on occasions, individual
participants may be unable to attend a scheduled program.
Should a participant wish to make a program cancellation or
transfer, the following policies apply:
For cancellations more than five working
days from a program commencement, The Systems 3 Group will
refund course fees in full or arrange a transfer to another
program.
For cancellations less than five working
days from program commencement, The Systems 3 Group welcomes
substitute participants without additional charge. Fee refunds
or transfers are not available.
Privacy of Training Course Assessments
RABQSA requires personal information for
Provisional Auditor registration. If the candidate has attained
appropriate competency units e.g. AU and QM and would like
S3G to recommend them to RABQSA for Provisional Auditor Certification
then the candidate must provide authorisation in writing.
The Systems 3 Group will not distribute
assessment documents to prospective employers, certification
agencies, auditees, etc, unless authorised to do so by the
candidate. The only exception applies where documents are
subpoenaed for use in a court of law. In this instance, the
Candidate will be advised in writing.
Where a candidate chooses to change Training
Provider, the candidate is the only person who may transfer
records to the new Training Provider.
Program Cancellations
The Systems 3 Group is committed to delivering
all programs listed on this website. However, circumstances
may arise that result in a program being cancelled. We recognise
that program cancellations inconvenience participants, therefore
we commit to provide at least five days notice of a program
cancellation. Affected participants will be offered a refund
in full or may transfer their enrolment to another S3G program
and receive a 10% discount.
Protection of Pre-paid Course
Fees
The Systems 3 Group has established financial
procedures which ensure protection of course fees paid in
advance.
Recognition of Prior Learning
(RPL)
The Systems 3 Group recognises the existing
knowledge of participants wherever possible. Participants
seeking recognition of their prior learning should apply in
writing prior to course commencement. Successful applicants
may receive exemptions from elements of individual programs.
Please note however, that some internationally registered
programs do not allow for the application of RPL principles.
Recognition of Prior Learning
(RPL) – RABQSA International Competencies
The Systems 3 Group will recognise properly
documented and demonstrated competencies acquired at competency
element or competency unit level and assessed by other RABQSA
Accredited Training Providers.
