  • Responsibility of the sales team.   - Staff in the sales team are advised to manage refund payments without extra workload.

Chapter 6: Number Of Sessions

  • Explanation of session counting for refunds.   - It is noted that refunds do not necessarily cover the entire amount paid.   - Example case: If a student pays for 100 sessions (totaling $1,000), they will not receive a full refund if sessions are not attended.

  • Minimum session attendance for refund eligibility.   - The minimum number of sessions that must be attended for a refund is five.   - Thus, if five sessions are attended out of 100, a refund will be processed for 95 sessions only.

Chapter 7: Using RPC

  • Definition and calculation of Rate Per Class (RPC).   - RPC refers to the cost per individual session. If a student pays $1,000 for 100 sessions, the RPC is calculated as:     - RPC=rac1000100=10RPC = rac{1000}{100} = 10     - Therefore, the rate per class is $10.   - Refund calculations based on RPC.   - If five sessions have been consumed, the total refundable amount will cover only the remaining 95 sessions.   - Additionally, this applies to OTO (one-time offers) where if a particular session has been attended, the refund will cover other remaining sessions.   - Available OTM (on the move) sessions take place on specific days: Mondays and Wednesdays, or Tuesdays and Thursdays, or Saturdays and Sundays.
