Fees, refunds, hiring, and your data

The fee

The fee covers the twenty live sessions, the labs and their grading, the three checkpoints, the capstone defence, the recordings, and the certificate. It is stated inclusive of GST, and a GST invoice is issued for every payment.

A seat is held when the fee is received. Seats are limited and go in order of payment among those who have passed the entrance test.

Refunds

• Withdrawal more than seven days before the first session: full refund.
• Withdrawal within seven days of the first session, or during the first week: refund of three quarters of the fee.
• Withdrawal after the first week: no refund, but you keep access to the recordings and may join the next cohort once at no charge, seats permitting.
• If we cancel a cohort, the full fee is refunded within ten working days.

The programme and hiring are separate

The hiring track and the training programme are separate. Taking the hiring test, or being told after it where your gaps are, places no obligation on you to join the programme, and joining the programme places no obligation on us to hire you.

Graduates of the programme who apply for a role sit the same hiring test as everyone else.

Nobody involved in hiring is measured or paid on programme sign-ups.

Your data

We collect your name, email address, phone number if you give it, your LinkedIn address if you give it, your test answers, and, on the hiring track, your resume. We use them to run the test you asked to take, to tell you the result, and to run the programme or the hiring process you entered.

Your resume is stored outside the web server's reach and is read only by the people grading or interviewing. It is not shared with anyone else.

Personal data is deleted 90 days after your cohort closes or after a rejection, whichever applies. You may ask for it to be deleted sooner, or for a copy of it, by writing to contactus@innovation-hacks-ai.net; we act within seven working days.

Test answers are kept in anonymised form to improve the tests.

Conduct

The test is open book; any reference or tool may be used. It is yours alone: answers found to have been given by another person on your behalf end the application.

Sessions are recorded for participants. Recordings are not to be shared outside the cohort.
