If International Horse College is unable to provide services for which the learner has prepaid, the membership in the Tuition Assurance Scheme must ensure
* the learner will be placed into an equivalent course such that:
– the new location is geographically close to where the learner had been enrolled, and
– the leaner receives the full services for which they have prepaid at no additional cost to the leaner or
* if an equivalent course cannot be found, the learner is paid a refund of any prepaid fees for services yet to be delivered above the threshold prepaid feee amount.
