ADDITIONAL INFO:
Per the QCTO requirements and Skills Development Act, the student should complete the course within a specific
timeframe. This timeframe excludes the final EISA/Trade Test as this depends on the QCTO verification process and the
availability of an external Trade Test venue and/or Assessors. Students are required to make reasonable progress
throughout the programme, and should it be evident that the student is not making the progress necessary to complete
the programme within the allocated time, CTIA does have the right to extract the student from the programme. If the
student is making reasonable progress but needs additional time (up to 4 months with motivation from the Campus
Principal), a contract extension fee will apply.
a. A 6-month programme has a completion date of 6 months from the programme's start date (including Work
Integrated Learning).
b. A 12-month programme has a completion date of 12 months from the programme’s start date with the
allowance of an extra two months (including Work Integrated Learning).
c. An 18-month programme has a completion date of 18 months from the programme’s start date with an
allowance of an extra two months (including Work Integrated Learning).
d. A 36-month programme has a completion date of 36 months from the programme's start date (including Work
Integrated Learning).
e. A 36-month programme (with Pastry) has a completion date of 36 months from the programme’s start date
with an allowance of an extra four months (including Work Integrated Learning).
The verification process by the QCTO to confirm that a student is ready for an EISA (external examination) depends on
the various CATHSSETA and QCTO processes. CTIA will ensure that all required reporting and verifications are done
following these processes. The completion of the programme is up to the point where the student’s Portfolio will be
ready for verification by the accreditation body. The EISA (external examination) may fall outside the initial contract
period.
Therefore, student visa applications must include six additional months to accommodate the external examination date.
Tuition is payable in advance by DEBIT ORDER from the first month of the Programme Intake (February / July). A signed
debit order is to accompany this Agreement.

I, ____________________________________________________________________________________________
(Students full name and surname) declare, agree, and undertake the following towards CHEFS TRAINING & INNOVATION
ACADEMY (CTIA):
I shall acquaint myself with the rules, regulations, and admission requirements of the Academy (which shall be made
available to me upon request), applicable to students in general and to the specific programme I am registering for.
Upon registration and for the duration of my studies at the Academy, I will commit to the rules, regulations, and admission
requirements, including any amendments thereof or any new rule, regulation or requirement that may change from time
to time depending on the operational requirements of the Academy as provided and communicated to me.
That non-fulfilment of the rules, regulations and requirements shall represent a breach of agreement and may, at the
election of the Academy, lead to disciplinary procedures against me or, in the event of no reasonable progress, the
termination of my studies.
All rules, regulations, and requirements shall bind me as determined from time to time by the accreditation body and/or
as determined by South African legislation and any other of the Academy’s affiliates.
I shall always ensure that my information on the rules, regulations and requirements as determined from time to time by
the accreditation body and/or as determined by South African legislation and any other of the Academy’s affiliates is
current.
I shall ensure that all necessary documentation has been completed and handed in before the commencement date for
the programme I am registering for.
The Academy is entitled to at any time summarily cancel my registration, without refund, should I fail to provide the
specified documents and/or provide false or incorrect information to the Academy.
The Academy reserves the right to terminate my studies for, but not limited to, (1) default of financial obligations, (2) non-
conformance with Academy policies and procedures, and (3) failure to submit and/or pass formative and summative
assessments and (4) not making reasonable progress on the programme enrolled for.
The Student/Parent/Financier declare that he/she takes full responsibility for the settlement of the full outstanding
programme amount and shall not be entitled to a reduction or refund of programme fees.
If my fees are not paid per the agreed payment plan, test, assessment, assignment, and examination results will not be
made available, and the Academy may, without a refund, suspend my registration.
If my fees are not paid per the agreed payment plan, the Academy may, without refund, refuse to register me for any
external examinations or allow me to participate in any tuition, industry placement, internal test, assessment, assignment
and or examination. All bursaries or discounted fees will become invalid.
I have corresponding rights to a refund if the Academy commits a material breach of this agreement or cannot fulfil its
obligations hereunder despite being given reasonable notice and opportunity to rectify the breach or perform its
obligations. This excludes any non-fulfilment due to changes in the academic field or policy implementation by legislative,
accreditation or Awarding bodies outside of CTIA’s mandate.
I further acknowledge that due to the nature of the programmes offered by the Academy, the Academy incurs costs at
the onset of the programme for the full period thereof, for, among other things, accreditation registration, uniforms, staff
allocations, equipment, and the like, and it is not possible for the Academy to mitigate its damages by placing or enrolling
a different student in the place of a defaulting student before the commencement of the next academic intake. Therefore,
I acknowledge that the reasonable cancellation penalty that would become payable on giving notice of termination if not
already paid, would, in ordinary circumstances, be:
a. If enrolled on a 6-month programme, the balance of the programme fees for the 6 months.
b. If enrolled on a 12-month programme, the balance of the programme fees for the 12 months.
c. If enrolled for the 18-month programme, and cancellation is within the first six months, the balance due will be
calculated per the 12-month programme.
d. If enrolled for the 18-month programme, and cancellation is during the second 6 months, the balance of the
fees for the remainder of the semester will be due.
e. If enrolled on the 36-month programme, the balance of the fees for the year the agreement is cancelled
(whether in the first, second, or third year):
1) Year 1: Total fee as per year 1
2) Year 2: Total fee as per year 2
3) Year 3: Total contract fee due
f. If enrolled on any programme, and cancellation is within 30 days from the first day of the intake, the balance of
the programme fees for the six months will be due, irrespective of the programme enrolled for.
A semester or year will start from the date of the new intake (February/July), irrespective of the student’s return date.
The fee structure that applies at the time of cancellation will be used for calculating purposes.
I have the right to cancel my enrolment before the start of the programme up until ONE day before the intake start date.
Only direct costs for uniforms and equipment that cannot be re-sold will be payable from the deposit.
If cancellation is on the day of intake, the Academy will impose a charge for the cancellation, and a 0% refund will apply.
Please refer to the Deposit Refund terms as per the Acceptance Letter. These terms will apply if I defer my programme
to the following intake.
Parent/Financier initial: _________________
I understand that I also have the rights given to me by the Consumer Protection Act, among others, as to the service
provided to me in terms of this Agreement, to plain language in this Agreement, disclosure of the price and fair marketing

The Academy reserves the right to transfer the offering of the programme or programmes to a different venue.

INNOVATION ACADEMY (CTIA):
I am aware that the student is presently registered at the Academy for the programme set out in Section 4 above and that
the Student did so with my full knowledge, consent, and support.
I am fully aware of the financial obligations regarding the programme the student has enrolled in. I take full responsibility
for the settlement per the payment schedule documented in Sections 6A, 6B and 6C.
I acknowledge that I have the financial means to comply with this obligation, and that it is within my payment ability. I
also declare that I am aware that the National Credit Act 34 of 2005 does not apply to this Agreement.
I acknowledge that the Academy reserves the right to terminate the student’s studies for, but not limited to, (1) default
of financial obligations, (2) non-conformance with Academy policies and procedures, and (3) failure to submit and/or pass

I hereby verify that all my information included in this Agreement is true and correct and that I will fully settle all

CANCELLATION POLICY
I understand that the Student has the right to cancel the Agreement during the programme on 20 business days’ notice
in writing or other recorded form in terms of the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008, in which event the Student and I
remain liable to the Academy for all amounts owed in terms of the Agreement up to the date of cancellation, and the
Academy may impose a reasonable cancellation penalty in contemplation of the Agreement enduring for its full term.
I further acknowledge that due to the nature of the programmes offered by the Academy, the Academy incurs costs at

and the like, and it is not possible for the Academy to mitigate its damages by placing or enrolling a different student in
the place of the defaulting student before the commencement of the next academic intake.

termination if not already paid, would, in ordinary circumstances, be:
a. If enrolled on a 6-month programme, the balance of the programme fees for the 6 months.
b. If enrolled on a 12-month programme, the balance of the programme fees for the 12 months.
c. If enrolled for the 18-month programme, and cancellation is within the first six months, the balance due will be
calculated per the 12-month programme.
d. If enrolled for the 18-month programme, and cancellation is during the second 6 months, the balance of the
fees for the remainder of the semester will be due.
f. If enrolled on any programmes, and cancellation is within 30 days from the first day of the intake, the balance of
the programme fees for the six months will be due, irrespective of the programme enrolled for.
A semester or year will start from the date of the new intake (February/July), irrespective of the student’s return date.
The fee structure that applies at the time of cancellation will be used for calculating purposes.
I have the right to cancel my enrolment before the start of the programme up until ONE day before the intake start date.
Only direct costs for uniforms and equipment that cannot be re-sold will be payable from the deposit.
If cancellation is on the day of intake, the Academy will impose a charge for the cancellation, and a 0% refund will apply.
Please refer to the Deposit Refund terms as per the Acceptance Letter. These terms will apply if I defer my programme
to the following intake.
Parent/Financier initial: _________________
If the Student and/or any other authorised person on his/ her behalf otherwise cancel the Agreement, I declare that I take
full responsibility for the settlement of the outstanding programme amount as agreed upon and attached hereto as
Section 6B, and any cancellation penalty provided for above.
In the event of suspension from the Academy or expulsion as the outcome of a formal disciplinary hearing, I acknowledge
that the contract conditions will still be binding.
All costs related to disciplinary actions, hearings, drug testing or which require corrective action by the Academy will be
for the financier's account.
I agree that interest, calculated on a rate applicable to the Academy’s overdraft facility or credit card- or cheque account,
whichever is the greatest, at the Academy’s selected financial institution (bank), shall be payable on all outstanding fees
for the term outstanding.
In the event of any failure to timeously pay any amount due to the Academy, I accept and understand that the full balance
of all outstanding fees, to the value of the full programme, including interest, reassessment or retraining costs and legal
costs shall, without further notice, become due and payable with immediate effect. All bursaries and discounted fees will
become invalid.
I accept that if the programme fees are in any way outstanding, test, assignment, assessment, and examination results
will not be made available, and the Academy may suspend the student’s registration.
I accept that I have read the above declaration made by the Student, and I accept all the terms and conditions thereof.
I accept that a certificate signed on behalf of the Academy by any director whose authority it shall not be necessary to
prove shall constitute prima facie proof of the balance owing and the fact that it is due and payable.
I undertake to immediately inform the Academy of any changes in address and/or contact details and hereby agree that
my address, as set out in Sections 3 above, will be my chosen domicilium citandi et executandi for purposes of any legal
documents in terms of this Agreement.
As part of the debt collection process, I agree that the Academy may request and obtain relevant information from a
credit bureau or other institution.
Save for in the event of automatic cancellation, the Academy shall provide the Financier and Student with written notice
of default, demanding rectification alternatively at the discretion of the Academy, cancelling the agreement.
I accept that I shall be responsible for all applicable debt collection costs, tracing fees, and legal costs on an
attorney-and-client scale.
The student and/or the Parent/Guardian hereby indemnifies the Academy and holds it harmless against any loss, liability,
damage, or expense that the Student may suffer or incur during his/or her programme period arising out of or relating to
the improper or negligent actions or omissions by the Academy or its employees for the full duration of the Agreement.
The Student shall, therefore, have no recourse of any nature against the Academy.
The Student and/or Guardian waives all claims against the Academy, its members, and teaching and non-teaching staff
acting within the cause and scope of their employment for any loss or damage suffered (while also on the Academy’s
premises) because of the person’s negligence or fault.
The Student and/or the Parent/Guardian hereby acknowledges and accepts that by the very nature of the programme
the Academy offers, there are inherent risks associated with working with sharp knives and hot cooking surfaces,
equipment, and substances. I/we accept these risks and agree that the waiver above will apply to any injury, death, loss,
or damage suffered during the programme and/or through the use, misuse, or exposure to the foregoing. I/We
acknowledge that I/we will receive an induction pack containing waivers and exclusions of liability, which I will be required
to read and sign.
Should an emergency operation or urgent medical treatment be deemed necessary by a medical doctor, the Academy
may, at its discretion, act on behalf of the Student if the Student cannot take the decision, with the understanding that
the Academy shall not be liable for any fees payable because of such medical treatment.
The Academy may perform a reasonable search of the Student’s personal belongings, including but not limited to any bag
or briefcase in the Student’s possession, should the Academy deem it reasonably necessary in certain circumstances to
inter alia safeguard its property or the property of third parties on the campuses of the Academy.
This contract is valid and enforceable for the entire duration of the Student’s registration as a Student at the Academy
and thereafter until all obligations in terms hereof have been met.
PRINCIPAL MEMBER:
SHOULD THE ABOVE INFORMATION BE INCORRECT, THE STUDENT WILL BE CONSIDERED A PRIVATE PATIENT, AND
TARIFFS WILL BE CHARGED ACCORDINGLY.
Please supply full information on any medical condition that might influence the student’s progress/ability to meet
training outcomes/suffer from or which may affect the student’s industry placement. Please attach a recent medical
report/s (not older than 12 months) and list the medication the student takes for these condition/s (if applicable). In
certain cases, depending on the medical condition, CTIA Management may require a medical report certifying the
student’s fitness to work in the specified environment.
Should it become evident that certain medical conditions and medication usage have been withheld, a full investigation
will be done to establish whether the student is suitable to continue his/her studies, and all fees will still be due to the
Academy as per this agreement. Any absenteeism from the programme may result in additional charges relating to re-
assessment fees or the possibility of having to restart the following semester at additional costs. The Academy will not
be held responsible for fees due should any information be withheld that could influence the student’s progress whilst
studying at CTIA.
Parent/Financier initial: _________________
PLEASE SUBMIT A MEDICAL CERTIFICATE/REPORT (NOT OLDER THAN 12 MONTHS) SHOULD THE ACADEMY NEED TO
BE AWARE OF ANY MEDICAL CONDITION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH YOUR STUDIES OR INDUSTRY PLACEMENT
(conditions such as but not limited to ADHD/ADD/Mood disorders/Bipolar/Depression/Anxiety/Dyslexia/Diabetes/High
or Low Blood pressure/Epilepsy/Allergies/Asthma, etc.).
Please list any CHRONIC medication that the student is currently using:
Please note that certain conditions need regular medical practitioners or specialist reports. Medical certificates and
reports diagnosing should not be older than 12 months. Please note that due to the nature of this industry, certain
conditions will need more clarification and may require more detail, and the Career consultant will guide you on the
process.
1) Time for acceptance of agreement: This agreement and general terms must be signed and returned to the
Academy and will form part of the contractual agreement between the Financier and the Academy. Acceptance
by the Academy of this agreement depends upon the approval of the Financier by the credit department. The
Agreement consists of both the contract and these general terms and conditions.
2) Payment: The Enrolment Deposit is required upon submission of this agreement and/or before the first day of
attendance. Please note that seat availability cannot be guaranteed without the completed Enrolment process
or proof thereof. All tuition fees are to be paid in advance starting in the month of the programme intake, i.e.,
February or July. Any amount not paid when due shall result in possible exclusion from tuition, exam
registration, industry placement and qualification. Late payments and returned debit orders will attract a R350
penalty fee. In the event of late instalments when the Cash Discounted option has been selected, late
payments will cancel the discounted cash incentive, and the terms fee amount will be due by default.
3) The Financier will carry additional costs to reassess any classes, assignments, and exams per the criteria needed
to complete the chosen qualification. Should the Student require reassessment, it is the student and/or
Financier's duty to ascertain the additional cost implications, failing which the Financier undertakes to pay all
reassessment costs. If course fees are overdue or in arrears and the student cannot attend due to non-payment,
all assessments will be treated as re-assessments, and CTIA’s re-assessment policy will apply.
4) Change or cancellation of the programme: Should a student de-register from the specific programme that the
contract was originally entered into with the Academy, the cancellation policy as per this agreement will apply.
Any bursaries/discounts awarded will become invalid, and the full amount, as per the applicable fee structure
at the time of cancellation, will apply. Should a student wish to change programmes, change the intake period
or take time off from the programme, CTIA’s Cancellation / Change of Programme Policy will apply
(CTIA_POL_F001). The newest and updated version at the time of cancellation will apply.
5) Contract and programme end date: All programmes have an end date or expiration date for completion, and
should a student not show a reasonably expected progression or complete the programme within the allocated
time, no qualification will be awarded. The student may be offered an alternative to exit the programme with
qualifications successfully completed at the time. This includes re-assessments, examinations, practical
outcomes, outstanding programme fees, WIL (work-integrated learning) or any outstanding item as per the final
report issued by CTIA. This practice is per the accreditation awarding bodies, and the student’s registration on
the programme will expire as follows:
a. A 6-month programme has a completion date of 6 months from the programme's start date (including
Work Integrated Learning).
b. A 12-month programme has a completion date of 12 months from the programme’s start date with
an allowance of an extra two months (including Work Integrated Learning).
c. An 18-month programme has a completion date of 18 months from the programme’s start date with
an allowance of an extra two months (including Work Integrated Learning).
d. A 36-month programme has a completion date of 36 months from the programme’s start date
(including Work Integrated Learning).
e. A 36-month programme (with Pastry) has a completion date of 36 months from the programme’s
start date with an allowance of an extra four months (including Work Integrated Learning).
Where a student has 50% or fewer incomplete submissions and practical competencies at the end of a
semester, the student will be required to re-enrol and re-do the semester.
For reference, the completion in para 4 a. – e. refers to the opportunity for the student to complete all on-campus
teaching and training, Work Integrated Learning (WIL), and to submit a fully signed-off logbook with a successful
final assessment. Please refer to the relevant paragraph heading for cancellations and placing a contract on hold.
6) Placing a contract on hold: Should a student wish to place his/her studies on hold during a semester, the
contract will be cancelled following CTIA’s cancellation policy. Should the student wish to return later, the
student will have to re-enrol as per CTIA’s enrolment process.
7) In exceptional circumstances where a student needs additional time to complete the WIL and the student has
been making reasonable progress, and with motivation from the Campus Principal, an extension of the contract
to the maximum of four (4) months may be allowed. A monthly fee will apply.
8) NOT Transferrable: This contract agreement applies to the student and details as per section 2. The contract
and course fees paid in respect of this agreement are not transferable to another student.
9) Innovation modules: As per the selected programme, innovation modules are not transferable.
10) Student safety: The student will be responsible for their own medical aid/expenses should the student injure
him/her whilst on the Academy’s premises.
