Referral Programme Terms & Conditions

1. Overview & Eligibility

The DirectSkills Referral Programme allows existing DirectSkills learners and external brand ambassadors to earn rewards by introducing prospective students to our accredited qualification programmes. Participation is subject to compliance with these Terms.

2. Qualifying Referrals

A referral is deemed qualified only when all of the following conditions are satisfied:

• The referred candidate visits through your unique referral link or enters your unique referral code during application or enrolment.
• The referred candidate successfully completes enrolment in an eligible accredited DirectSkills qualification course.
• The candidate completes the required qualification milestone (such as initial payment or deposit) as configured by DirectSkills.
• A simple enquiry, brochure download, or website visit does NOT constitute a qualified referral.

3. Self-Referral & Abuse Prevention

Referrers cannot refer themselves. Any attempts to generate rewards through self-enrolment, creation of multiple accounts, collusion, or misrepresentation (including matching email addresses, telephone numbers, or payment accounts) will be flagged automatically, resulting in disqualification and immediate termination of referral privileges.

4. Attribution Priority (First Valid Attribution Wins)

Attribution operates on a first-valid-attribution principle. Once a legitimate referral is associated with an enquiry or enrolment application, subsequent codes entered will not overwrite the original attribution. DirectSkills administrators reserve the right to review and adjust attribution where appropriate based on audit logs.

5. Reward Types & Disbursements

Existing Learners: Rewards are credited towards the learner’s next eligible tuition installment or course payment in accordance with the current configured programme rate.

External Referrers: Rewards are reviewed and disbursed manually via approved payment methods (Bank Transfer or PayPal). Payouts are made after administrative verification.

6. Refunds, Cancellations & Adjustments

If a referred student withdraws, cancels, requests a refund, or defaults during the cooling-off period before a reward becomes final, any pending referral reward will be automatically cancelled. In the event that a payment has already been credited or paid prior to cancellation, the referral is flagged for administrative review.

7. Programme Modifications & Governance

DirectSkills reserves the right to modify, amend, or terminate the Referral Programme, reward amounts, qualification criteria, and cookie attribution periods at any time without prior notice. DirectSkills retains sole discretion in resolving disputes regarding referral attribution or reward eligibility.
