The IPA has made a number of its professional development courses that are ordinarily charged for a fee, as free-of-charge for a limited period. As a result, those taking part in this special learning offer for Ukrainian advertising and communications professionals must accept terms of participation which are different to ordinary, fee-paying customers. Any person (individual or business) wishing to order and take part in a specified, free-of-charge course through the IPA must review and accept this set of Special Terms and Conditions.

IPA’s right to amend these terms:

The IPA may amend these Special Terms and Conditions at any time. In particular, the IPA reserves the right to remove the offer of free qualifications, change the offer period (including to reduce or extend it), or change the offering of free courses at any time.

Eligibility:

Any holder of an Ukrainian passport are eligible to order and take part in the Specified Free Courses, free of charge, during the Offer Period.

To enrol in a Specified Free Course, the entrant must use a special discount code obtained either through the IPA or via other channels authorised by the IPA. The discount code can be entered at the time of purchase for the regular price on the website to be reduced to zero.

The IPA may demand reasonable forms of identification to be produced and/or a declaration to be made to confirm eligibility.

Offer Period:

For the Specified Free Courses, entrants must complete the order on the IPA’s website from 20 March 2023 until the Booking Deadline for that course, as specified below. For courses without a Booking Deadline, the order must be completed prior to 31 December 2023.

Upon completing an order, the courses must be completed by the Completion Deadline for that course as specified below. Access to the course materials will be removed and entrants will not be able to complete the course or the exam after that deadline.

Limitations:

Eligible entrants can order and take up any number of “qualifications” from the list of Specified Free Courses.

“Courses” have a limited number of participants and is available on a “first-come-first-served” basis. However, for fairness, the IPA may limit entrants from enrolling into multiple courses if the IPA considers it necessary to manage demand. The IPA may reject orders for multiple courses from the same entrant, and accept later eligible entries.
