Success in our program requires full commitment by all participants. By enrolling in this course, participants agree to being fully present during all sessions and participate to the best of their ability. This includes arriving on time, abiding by the code of conduct, and engaging in course activities.

Our courses are designed to be interactive and engaging for our participants. It is therefore an expectation that you participate in course activities, including dialogue with the course instructor and peers, live coaching activities, and experiential learning exercises. If you are unable to participate in an activity, please inform your instructor as soon as possible.

For virtual courses, maximise the learning experience for you and your fellow participants by ensuring you are joining from a private space, have reliable internet connection and use a suitable device (mobile phones are not recommended).

Participants are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner during all sessions. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Arriving on time to all sessions.
• Attending all live sessions, coaching practice and mentor coaching sessions.
• Having your camera on for virtual live sessions.
• Participating fully in all sessions, coaching practice and mentor coaching sessions. This includes being prepared for the session, involving yourself in discussions and activities, assuming responsibility for your learning, and contributing to the learning of others.
• Engaging in discussions with integrity and honesty.
• Being respectful of your fellow participants and instructors, including silencing your phone/other devices, not texting, and other disruptive behaviours.
• Embracing diversity and inclusion while respecting the dignity and humanity of others.

Please note that due to the current COVID-19 pandemic and/or other extenuating circumstances, the format and delivery of any pre-booked Services with us may be subject to change at the discretion of IECL, based on the prevailing government advice, restrictions or other economic impacts at the time.

This may result in changes in the delivery and format of our Services from in-person learning to virtual/ Distance Learning Course, or vice versa.

In this regard, IECL excludes all liability for any loss and damage associated with pre-booked travel expenses where IECL has amended its delivery format in these circumstances.

Please note that any necessary changes to delivery mode and format will be communicated to you as our priority in writing as far in advance to the Commencement Date as possible by a member of the IECL team, so as to avoid any undue inconvenience.

(a) the singular word includes the plural and vice versa;
