Absent with valid reason

For leave of absence with valid reason accompanied by documentary proof, an appeal can be submitted for management approval, seeking to be transferred to the next class.  This appeal must be submitted within two (02) working days from the missed class date, and is subject to ACI's management approval.

Paid course fee will be forfeited for valid reason appeals not submitted within two (02) working days. Initial claims for the payable course fee from SkillsFuture Credit (SFC) or Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA) cannot be processed and trainee will be liable to pay for this amount of payable course fee with other payment methods. Please note that STEP system will not allow trainee to apply for further courses until this amount is paid.

For courses that are more than 1 day, trainee will not be allowed to attend remaining sessions if trainee missed Day 1 of class. 

Absent without valid reason

Trainee who are absent WITHOUT valid reason will have the paid course fee forfeited and not allowed to attend day 2 and 3 of the course (if any). Initial claims for the payable course fee from SkillsFuture Credit (SFC) or Post-Secondary Education Account (PSEA) cannot be processed and trainee will be liable to pay for this amount of payable course fee with other payment modes. Please note that STEP system will not allow trainee to apply for further courses until this amount is paid.

ACI reserves the right to assess/reject Leave of Absence reasons that are not relevant to the course missed (e.g. internet service disruption does not affect kitchen classes in person).
