Learner Protection Policy

All students enrolled in programmes at DCE English School are covered by a Learner Protection arrangement, in accordance with the requirements of Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI).

Learner Protection ensures that, in the unlikely event that the school is unable to continue delivering a programme (for example, due to closure or loss of accreditation), learners are protected.

Under this arrangement, students will be entitled to:

  • a refund of the fees paid for the undelivered portion of their programme, or
  • transfer to a similar programme at another provider, where feasible

DCE English School has formal arrangements in place with an approved Learner Protection provider to ensure compliance with QQI requirements.

This policy applies to non-EEA/EEA students enrolled in full-time programmes listed on the Interim List of Eligible Programmes (ILEP).

Further information about Learner Protection is available upon request from the school administration.
