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.
