Protection of the Enrolled Learner

All HECA colleges provide learner protection in compliance with the 2012 Act section 65 (4) of the Qualifications and Quality Assurance (Education and Training) Act 2012 for all QQI accredited programmes of education and training of three months or longer duration, in HECA higher education institutions.

The HECA PEL Scheme

The HECA Protection for Enrolled Learners Scheme (HECA PEL Scheme) consists of ten members of HECA and is fully approved by Quality and Qualifications Ireland (QQI). The HECA PEL Scheme provides that in the event of the member provider ceasing to provide the programme before completion, for any reason, enrolled learners may transfer to a similar programme at another provider, or, if this is not practicable, the fees most recently paid will be refunded. In accordance with Section 65 of the Act, arrangements are in place with at least two providers for each programme.
