Refund and Return Policy

FutureWorks (https://futureworksprogram.com) is a program and learning platform operated by GEW LTD. In these policies, “GEW LTD”, “the Company”, “we”, “us” and “our” include FutureWorks.

Section 7-A — Nigeria AI / Job Skills Advance Enrollment Addendum

This addendum applies only to Nigeria AI / Job Skills advance enrollment. Where it conflicts with the policy below, this addendum prevails for that program.

1. Advance enrollment status and access

  • Registration and payment for Nigeria AI / Job Skills take place before the cohort schedule is confirmed. The official class start date is To Be Announced (TBA).
  • Payment verification confirms that your payment has been received. It is not enrollment approval. Your enrollment is confirmed only when an administrator approves it.
  • Neither payment nor approval gives immediate access to lessons or course materials. Access follows the official class schedule and the publication of course resources by FutureWorks.

2. 100% refund guarantee during the TBA period

  • If you have paid, you may request a full refund at any time before the official class start date is announced.
  • Eligibility is decided by when your written request is received at support@futureworksprogram.com, not when it is processed. A request received before the official announcement keeps the 100% guarantee, even if it is processed afterwards.
  • You receive 100% of the amount you actually paid. The 15% administrative fee in Section 7.1(i) is not deducted.
  • No Paystack processing or transaction fees are deducted. GEW LTD / FutureWorks absorbs these costs. This overrides Sections 4.6(v) and 10.1(iii) during the TBA period.

3. After the official start date is announced

  • The official start date will be published in My Learning Journey → Announcements at least 31 calendar days before classes begin. The announcement ends the TBA refund period.
  • Requests received after the announcement follow the Section 7 training schedule, counted in calendar days in West Africa Time (WAT, UTC+1) with an 11:59 PM WAT daily cutoff:
  • More than 30 days before the start (until 11:59 PM WAT on the 31st calendar day before the start date): full refund minus the 15% administrative fee.
  • 15–30 days before the start (from 12:00 AM WAT on day 30 until 11:59 PM WAT on day 15): 50% refund.
  • Less than 15 days before the start (from 12:00 AM WAT on day 14): no refund; transfer to another participant is allowed.
  • After commencement: no refund. Incomplete attendance is not refunded (Section 7.3).

4. Postponement or cancellation by FutureWorks

  • If FutureWorks / GEW LTD postpones or cancels the cohort, you may choose a full refund of the amount paid or a transfer to the next available session (Section 7.2). We will notify you as soon as possible.
  • If a postponement happens before the start date is announced, the TBA guarantee in Part 2 continues to apply.

5. Age eligibility

  • Enrollment in Nigeria AI / Job Skills is open only to applicants who are 18 years of age or older at the time of application, calculated in West Africa Time (WAT).
  • Applicants under 18 are not eligible to register or pay. Parental or guardian consent is not accepted as an alternative.
  • Your date of birth is a declaration you make; it is not identity verification. FutureWorks may cancel an enrollment based on an untrue declaration.

6. How to request a refund

  • Email support@futureworksprogram.com from your registered email address with your full name, registered email and Registration ID.
