If NMTI does not receive the course fee within the prescribed period the participant’s registration will be cancelled and the spot made available for other students.

Changes

The participant has the possibility to once change the course s/he wishes to participate in free of charge, after that NMTI will charge a one-time administrative fee of 50 OMR for any changes made on request of the participant.

Cancellation and Withdrawal Policy

It is possible for the participant to withdraw from the program up to 14 days before the course starts and receive his full payment back.

Up to 7 days prior to the course the participant who withdraws can only be reimbursed if a replacement for his/her spot in the course can be found.

If NMTI is notified of the participant’s wish to withdraw within the last week prior to the course, no reimbursement will be made.

These deadlines are counted in calendar days and are effected in the Omani time zone (GMT+4).

If cancellation is due to a personal emergency or an emergency within the immediate family, which has to be documented in writing, NMTI will consider reimbursing an amount up the full payment; or the registration can be put on hold and used for a later course.

In any case NMTI will have to charge an administrative fee of 50 OMR for any of these changes.

Similarly, if a participant has to leave a course earlier due to a personal emergency or an emergency within the immediate family, which has to be documented in writing, the student may receive a partial refund for the portion of the course not yet completed.

Otherwise it is not possible to be reimbursed for missed course days if the participant chooses to leave the course before its official termination.
