Refund policy
Last updated 6 October 2026
Every course shows its refund policy before you pay. There are two, and both are kept by SkillMela, not left to the teacher.
7-day refund (every course)
Within 7 days of paying, you get your money back if:
- you paid but can't get into the course, or
- promised lessons or live sessions weren't delivered, or
- the course isn't what its course card described, and you've done less than 20% of it.
30-day guarantee (courses that show it)
Everything above for 30 days instead of 7, plus a no-questions refund as long as you've done less than 30% of the course.
Memberships
Each monthly payment follows the course's policy, counted from that payment. Not renewing simply ends access when the month is over; nothing is charged automatically.
How to ask, and how fast
- Open the course from My learning and choose Refund. Tell us what went wrong; it takes a minute.
- We decide within 2 working days. If it's approved, access to the course ends.
- The money goes back to how you paid. Banks usually show it in 5 to 7 working days.
- Teachers aren't paid until the refund window closes, so a refund never depends on getting money back from them.
When refunds don't apply
- After the window ends, or after the progress limits above, except where the law gives you more.
- Abuse, such as buying, copying the course and asking for a refund. We can refuse those and close the account.
