Complaints, Concerns and Appeals

iLEARN endeavours to provide the best possible service. However, should you feel the need to complain we take this very seriously and operate a complaints investigation and resolution process as outlined below.

Complaints, concerns, and appeals should be submitted to iLEARN in writing in the form of a letter, or email.  The contact details are available at this link.

We endeavour to acknowledge these within two working days of receipt - with investigations being completed within ten working days or, if a longer period is necessary, the complainant being informed of the expected timescale.

We make every effort to bring complaints to a satisfactory conclusion following initial investigation. However, should this not prove possible we have an internal escalation process to determine final closure. The escalation route depends on the nature of the complaint.

Furthermore, all complaints, concerns and appeals are reviewed regularly to identify improvements which can be made. Any complaints, concerns or appeals received are dealt with impartially in a non-discriminatory manner and will not affect a complainant’s standing with iLEARN.

What is an Appeal?

An Appeal is a formal procedure by which a registered candidate can appeal against an exam result or a decision on certification. In such situations the appellant is required to submit their appeal in writing.

Grounds for Appeal

There are three grounds on which a candidate may appeal:

1.    Personal or medical grounds
2.    Procedural grounds
3.    The decision was biased or discriminatory

All appeals must be made within 6 months of the certification decision being taken. Appellants must be able to provide clear evidence that the decision against which they are appealing meets at least one of the following criteria:

  • relevant information of mitigating circumstances received by stated deadlines had not been taken into consideration;
  • substantial procedural irregularity;
  • evidence to suggest that a decision may have been biased or discriminatory.

It is the responsibility of the appellant to provide iLEARN with clear evidence that one of the grounds listed above is valid.


Candidates considering an appeal should take note of the following:

  • Disagreement with the exam result for multiple choice papers does not give grounds for appeal.
  • Appeals will only be accepted on the grounds listed above and no other grounds will be considered.
  • When appealing on the grounds of circumstances relating to events prior to the examination or assessment, the Invigilator or assessor must have been informed in writing prior to the examination or assessment.
  • When appealing on the grounds of circumstances relating to events during the examination or assessment, the events must have been brought to the invigilator's or assessor’s attention before leaving the examination room or before the end of the assessment.   

  

Equality Policy

Candidates with access and/or support requirements

iLEARN makes every reasonable effort to ensure that candidates with access and/or support requirements can sit the examination within reasonable limits to ensure they have as equal a chance as any other well-prepared candidate to pass the examination. This means providing reasonable adjustments/accommodations where appropriate.

iLEARN believe that each candidate is different and that individuals will have differing access and/or support needs and as such we will make every effort to provide reasonable adjustments/accommodations suited to individual access or support requirements. Adjustments/accommodations vary in accordance with the underlying disability and involve possibilities as broad as the use of braille to extended time on the examination to varying arrangements for the actual testing.  Providing a list of all potential disabilities, adjustments or accommodations is not practical as each disability and related need for adjustment/accommodation is analysed based on the individual’s particular circumstances.  Individuals are encouraged to raise and discuss their situations as well as to suggest their own ideas for reasonable adjustments/accommodations

If a candidate is thinking of taking the examination and that candidate requires additional time or specific adjustments/accommodations, the candidate should contact iLEARN and discuss the situation directly.

Please note that where iLEARN uses a 3rd party venue/personnel for public examinations, iLEARN will need to liaise with the venue regarding possible adjustments/accommodations and so will not be able to commit to the request for adjustment/accommodation until confirmation has been received from the 3rd party.

No matter the testing context, iLEARN encourages an interactive discussion with a candidate who has a disability and needs a reasonable adjustment/accommodation.  Such candidates are encouraged to ask about such matters in advance to allow for planning and coordination of adjustments/accommodations.  However, where reasonable, a discussion regarding adjustments/accommodations can occur at any time, although some requests may not be able to be responded to if raised for the first time at the actual time of the examination.

As suggested above, adjustments/accommodations also apply to the venue or location of an examination.  If a candidate is aware of or concerned about potential access issues or there is a need for special examination logistics or procedures, the candidate should raise such concerns on a timely basis.

Local law will be applied regarding adjustments, accommodations and access issues as applicable law may vary in different countries.

 

Examination Candidate Terms and Conditions

Candidates entering any examination with iLEARN agree to be bound by the Terms and Conditions contained herein.

       1. Candidate ID

Candidates are required to bring a means of photo identification to the exam centre or have it available for checking if sitting an exam via online proctoring, (any document that is considered valid for personal identification in the country from where the exam is sat). If proof of identification is not provided to the Trainer/Invigilator prior to the examination, iLEARN reserves the right to refuse the candidate to sit the exam.

       2. Code of behaviour from Candidates

Candidates must be present at least 30 minutes prior to the examination start time at a physical exam centre, or at their scheduled time for an online proctored exam. When attending the exam, candidates must ensure they are polite and courteous to other candidates and the Trainer/Invigilator/online proctor and abide by the exam terms and conditions.

  1. have successfully achieved sufficient marks to pass the examination;
  2. agree to and respect the iLEARN terms of certification as detailed in these Terms and Conditions.

No refund or compensation of any kind will be given by iLEARN to candidates that choose not to benefit from this service for any reason. Access to, and use of, digital badges and/or certificates is subject to these Terms and Conditions.

Should the candidate misuse any certificate, digital badge, trademark or logo associated with any of the certification schemes appropriate action will be taken to resolve the case and prevent recurrence. Serious and/or continuous misuse will give rise to certificates being withdrawn and legal action being taken as appropriate.

If a candidate should breach any of the scheme regulations, they will be subject to their certified status being suspended or withdrawn.  If you are suspended, you will need to refrain from promoting yourself as certified for the duration of the suspension.  Should your certification be withdrawn, you will need to immediately cease to promote yourself as certified via all mediums.

On completing the Candidate Details Form, candidates are required to indicate their wish to be included on a Successful Candidate Register. Where candidates have chosen not to appear on the Successful Candidate Register in the Consent section, iLEARN will only divulge exam results to the relevant organization who ran the associated training (if applicable) and will not enter candidate results on the Successful Candidate Register. By ticking “yes” the Candidate gives iLEARN permission to enter the candidate details (i.e. name) on the public website, and to inform any third party of whether the candidate has passed the exam. If the candidate’s preference changes at a later date, written confirmation must be received by iLEARN with a copy of the examination certificate giving iLEARN permission to change the preference. The preference can be also changed from Candidate Portal at any time.

iLEARN will not be held liable should the website or any Successful Candidate Register be incomplete. Candidates should contact iLEARN in the first instance should they believe any records are incomplete.
