5. [Instalment Payments (Application)] At the discretion of the academy, course fees may be paid by instalment, subject to academy approval.
6. [Instalment Payments (Execution)] Students approved to pay course fees by instalment option agree with the academy to pay all fees by direct payment on preset dates. Late or non-payment may result in removal from the instalment option, and you will be required to pay the remaining course fees within 10 working days.
7. [Direct Payment Setup] Direct payment must be set up at least 10 working days before the course start date. Otherwise, the academy reserves the right to cancel the agreed instalment option and require full course fee payment before the course start date.

9. [Kit and Towel Pack] Unless otherwise stated (excluding laser courses), all students must purchase a kit and towel pack for practice purposes. Students must bring their own kit and towel pack on the training day, otherwise it will result in the student being unable to attend class / practice / be assessed.
10. [Practical Practice Arrangement] All students will be required to practice on other students, unless practical assessment requires an assessment mannequin, which will then be the student's responsibility to bring, but will be specified by LBEDU Luminous Beauty International Education and Training Academy.
11. [Sensitivity Test] Certain courses may require a sensitivity test at least 24/48 hours before the course date. Especially for eye and laser treatments, this will be specified in the course information to ensure health and safety.
12. [Medical Conditions and Learning Difficulties] Any medical conditions or learning difficulties must be disclosed by the student in writing (i.e. email [email protected]) before course registration, i.e. contraindications for treatment. In such cases, the student will need to bring their own model for practice.
13. [Personal Grooming and Hygiene] As part of the Code of Practice, all students must behave appropriately at all times. (i.e. hair should be neatly tied back away from the face, no jewellery should be worn, all piercings should be removed for health and safety reasons, nails should be kept short and clean, personal hygiene should be observed)
14. [Uniform and Conduct] All students must wear the correct uniform for every class. This includes a neat LBEDU Luminous Beauty International Education and Training Academy tunic, black trousers, and black flat shoes. Students must treat peers and staff in a professional and respectful manner, otherwise it will result in removal from the course and payment of any unpaid fees.
15. [Course Cancellation (Academy Reasons)] If LBEDU Luminous Beauty International Education and Training Academy has to cancel a course date due to circumstances beyond the academy's control, the academy will attempt to give at least 24 hours' notice and reschedule another course date. In the event of cancellation, the academy is not responsible for any travel or accommodation losses.
16. [Course Changes] LBEDU Luminous Beauty International Education and Training Academy reserves the right to change course dates and/or locations, but will endeavour to give at least 48 hours' notice.

18. [Certificate Collection] Students are requested to collect their certificate from the academy within six months of the notification date for certificate collection. The academy will not retain uncollected certificates on behalf of students beyond this period.
19. [Special Course Terms — Semi-Permanent Make-Up and Micro-Pigmentation Related Courses] In light of concerns raised by the beauty industry regarding the supply and use of numbing creams, the academy has studied relevant overseas practices and the current regulatory framework under Chapter 138. In jurisdictions with a regulatory framework similar to Hong Kong's, health regulators and relevant organisations issue guidelines to tattoo service providers reminding them that they cannot supply local anaesthetics to customers; local anaesthetics should instead be obtained by the customer from a registered doctor or registered pharmacy. In Hong Kong, the Department of Health informs the public and the beauty industry about the risks and precautions of beauty procedures through press releases and documents (including leaflets on beauty procedures such as tattooing), as well as organising various events. The academy does not provide any numbing creams whatsoever. Models or clients obtain numbing creams from a registered doctor or registered pharmacy on their own, and apply them to the area of skin to be numbed by the model or client themselves. (If applicable)

For examination-based courses, you must have at least 70% attendance (if required by the course) and 70% salon time (if required by the course). Furthermore, if you miss a total of more than 100 hours in a VTCT (iTEC) course, you will not be registered for the examination.
2. [Lateness and Absenteeism Handling] As all courses are continuous, lateness or absenteeism will not be permitted unless prior consent has been obtained from the Principal and Managing Director, who also reserve the right to expel any student, as such behaviour constitutes just cause. Their decision on all such matters will be considered final.
3. [Catch-up Responsibility] The academy or individual teachers have no responsibility to provide additional teaching time for students to "catch up" on education missed due to lateness or absenteeism for any reason.

This is subject to the student potentially having a valid reason to explain why they failed the examination, and the academy reserves the right to determine whether the conditions for the student's failure are valid. If the examination is failed, the academy determines when the examination may be retaken.
5. [Additional Teaching Charges] Students who fail to complete their assessments, variations, ranges, etc. during the course will be charged hourly for any further teaching/supervision/assessment. These sessions will be held at the academy's convenience. The current hourly charge is HKD 250.00.

8. [Course Start Time] Courses will commence promptly at the published times regardless of whether all students are present. Classes will not be delayed due to lateness, and teachers are not responsible for catch-up sessions. Latecomers may be asked to wait until an appropriate teaching break before entering the classroom. The Principal and Managing Director may change class times at their discretion without prior notice.
9. [Public Holidays] The academy will be closed on all Hong Kong public holidays. If your course period falls on a public holiday, your course will not be extended by additional days or reduced in fees, as these days have already been accounted for in our teaching.
10. [Planned Absences] Leave for official religious holidays, booked holidays, planned weddings, medical appointments, etc. must be discussed and agreed upon before application. We advise avoiding all absences wherever possible.
