This is the official website of the ICRCM Reliability Academy, which is an affiliate of the ICRCM.org. The website is subject to constant developments and enhancements, and information it contains, is subject to change without notice. ICRCM Reliability Academy makes every effort to ensure content is accurate.

Prospectus Information

This edition of the prospectus describes the services and courses that the Academy intends to offer in the coming academic year. We make every effort to ensure our prospectus information is as accurate as possible at the time of printing.  However, this information is subject to change over time and it is important that you check the Academy’s website for the most up to date information. Where changes have been made to the information set out in the prospectus, any significant changes to a course will be notified to any prospective student who has registered an interest in the program and also notified to applicants at the time of making an offer. If you have any comments about the prospectus, please contact us at Certify@icrcm.org

The ICRCM Reliability Academy will do all that it reasonably can do to provide educational and certification services as described on its website and prospectus. Sometimes circumstances beyond our control mean that we cannot provide such educational services. This might be because of, for example:

Industrial action by Academy staff or third parties

The unanticipated departure or absence of key members of Academy staff

```
Acts of terrorism
```

Acts of any government or local authority

```
Epidemic or pandemic of disease
```

Acts or conditions of war or insurrection

```
Academic changes within subject areas
```

Where the numbers recruited to a course are so low that it is not possible to
deliver an appropriate quality of education for students enrolled on it

In these circumstances, the Academy will take all reasonable steps to minimize the resultant disruption to those services, for example by making reasonable modifications, but to the full extent that it is possible under the general law, the ICRCM Reliability Academy excludes liability for any loss and/or damage suffered by any applicant. The modifications we make may be to the:

Content and syllabus of courses, including in relation to placements

Timetable, location and number of lessons

Content or method of delivery of courses of study

```
Examination process
```
```
Timing and method of assessment
```

Many of the changes that we make are in response to feedback from students and are intended to improve the experience of students and student outcomes. Where circumstances demand an unavoidable change or where it is necessary for the Academy to discontinue a course of study, the Academy will take reasonable steps to minimize the effect for applicants and all significant changes will be notified promptly as set out above.

You should also be aware that some of the programs listed in the prospectus are subject to final approval. In the unlikely event that a course is not approved by its start date, the course will not run and you will not be able to take up your place. Should this happen, you will be informed by the ICRCM Reliability Academy and assistance will be provided to those who have been offered a place
to find a suitable alternative course at the Academy. Where a course is awaiting final approval, this will be indicated clearly in the course’s entry in the online prospectus.

The prospectus describes the courses we offer. As a student, you receive further material describing the teaching, examination, assessment and other educational services, and information on the social side of student life at the time that any offer is made to you and subsequently upon enrolment. Your application to the Academy will be considered in accordance with the Academy’s Admissions Policies and Procedures.

Should you continue on, to enroll as a student of the Academy, you will be asked to agree to these Terms and Conditions, and your studies will be undertaken and governed by, and in accordance with, the Academy’s Student Regulations, Academic Behavior Policies and Procedures.

Due to the nature of our business, the integrity of our Certification Programs require Identity Verification. You may be required to furnish us with a clear copy of your Photo ID and a Selfie Photo of you holding that same ID next to your face for the purposes of Identification Verification before your Enrollment can be completed as this is a condition of enrollment at our Academy.

The Academy’s policies on Fraud

If we have reason to believe you, or any person acting on your behalf, has provided false information, omitted relevant information, made any misrepresentation and/or provided counterfeit or forged documents while applying for a place, tuition fees assessment, or Mandatory or Discretionary Award, we will take the steps necessary to establish the authenticity of the information. If we suspect fraud, we can share information with outside investigative agencies. If they conclude fraud has taken place, we have the right to cancel your application, withdraw any offer of a place and rescind your student status and revoke any and terminate all active Professional Certifications issued by the International Council on Reliability Centered Management (ICRCM). We will ask you to provide further information or documentation in relation to your application or student status.
