Certificate Course Terms and Conditions

Version 1.0 · Effective October 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Wrapture Beauty Academy. By enrolling in any of our online, hybrid, or in-person certificate courses, you agree to these Terms and Conditions. They do not apply to diploma programs, which are governed by the Student Enrolment Contract and the Student Handbook. Please read them carefully before completing registration.

2. Acknowledgement of Regulatory Responsibility

Wrapture Beauty Academy provides online, hybrid, and in-person beauty education for professional development and skill enhancement. Enrolment in a course does not guarantee licensing, certification, or regulatory recognition in any province or territory.

Before enrolling, students must read the Important Regulatory Notice at the front of the Certificate Course Handbook. It explains where esthetics is a regulated trade, including Manitoba and Nova Scotia, and what a Certificate of Completion does and does not authorize.

Each student is responsible for confirming the licensing and certification requirements in the province or territory where they intend to practise. Wrapture Beauty Academy is not responsible for regulatory compliance, licensing decisions, or certification recognition in any jurisdiction. See Section 2 (Provincial Regulatory Status and Student Responsibilities) of the Certificate Course Handbook, and Section 13 (Contact Information) for provincial regulator contacts.

3. Course Enrolment and Payment

  • Students must be at least 18 years of age. A student aged 16 or 17 may enrol only with the written consent of a parent or guardian, who also signs the health screening and consent form for any hands-on training. See Section 3 (Admissions and Eligibility) of the Certificate Course Handbook.
  • Enrolment is confirmed once full payment is received or, for an approved payment plan, once the first payment is received, and course access has been granted.
  • Course fees are non-refundable once access to course materials has been granted, including the hands-on training, practical examination, and any product kit that form part of a hybrid course, except as set out under Exceptional Circumstances and In-person courses in Section 4 of the Certificate Course Handbook.
  • Payment plans must be paid on schedule. If a missed payment is not brought current by the date in the Academy’s written notice, course access is paused until it is. See Section 4 (Tuition, Payments, and Refund Policy) of the Certificate Course Handbook.
  • Where a course includes a product kit, the kit is part of the course fee and is not sold or refunded separately. Opened or used products cannot be returned. See Section 4 of the Certificate Course Handbook and the Academy’s Return Policy.

4. Course Access

Course content is delivered through the Moodle learning platform at www.wraptureonlineacademy.com and may include lessons, videos, recorded sessions, assessments, and downloadable materials, which vary by course. Access begins when enrolment is complete. Students enrolled by the Academy, such as those on a payment plan, receive an email when their course is available.

Each course has an end date. All required work must be completed by that date unless an extension is approved under Section 4 of the Certificate Course Handbook, and course content remains available for review only for 6 months after it.

See Section 4 (Tuition, Payments, and Refund Policy) and Section 7 (Technology Requirements and Online Learning) of the Certificate Course Handbook.

5. Course Delivery and Completion

Online courses are delivered entirely through Moodle. Hybrid courses combine online theory with in-person hands-on training and a practical examination at the Academy on scheduled dates. In-person courses are delivered entirely at the Academy on scheduled dates.

Online theory is self-paced but must be completed by the course end date. To complete a course, students must achieve 70% or higher on every quiz, assignment, and practical evaluation. Students have up to 3 attempts on each quiz, assignment, and practical evaluation, and the Lead Educator or the Director may approve a further attempt. A student who has not passed after the attempts allowed does not complete the course and may appeal under Section 11 (Complaints and Dispute Resolution) of the Certificate Course Handbook.

For hybrid courses:

  • All online theory work must be submitted at least 21 days before the first hands-on date and successfully completed at least 14 days before it. A student who misses either deadline loses their scheduled seat and is assigned the next session with availability.
  • Rescheduling, late cancellation, and missed sessions are subject to the rescheduling fees in Section 6 of the Certificate Course Handbook.
  • A student who does not pass the practical examination receives one retake at no charge. Further retakes and any required re-enrolment carry fees, which vary by course and are set out in the course introduction in Moodle. See Section 6 of the Certificate Course Handbook.
  • Students provide and prescreen their own model for the practical examination.

Online-only courses do not include hands-on training. Any practical work a student does outside Academy-supervised training is their own responsibility (see Section 8).

Full details are in Section 4 (Tuition, Payments, and Refund Policy) and Section 6 (Course Completion and Certification) of the Certificate Course Handbook.

6. Certification and Course Recognition

  • A Wrapture Beauty Academy Certificate of Completion is proof of training. It is not a provincial licence, certificate of qualification, or trade certification.
  • Completing a course does not guarantee employment or legal authorization to practise as a beauty professional.
  • Each student is responsible for checking whether additional training, in-person assessments, or regulatory approvals are required in their province or territory.

7. Conduct and Academic Integrity

Students must communicate respectfully and meet the professional conduct standards in Section 5 (Student Responsibilities and Professional Conduct) of the Certificate Course Handbook, including the Academy’s Sexual Violence and Harassment Prevention Policy.

All work must be the student’s own. Work that is plagiarized, completed by another person, or produced in breach of the Academy’s rules on artificial intelligence receives a grade of zero. The Academy may permit one alternate assessment, graded to a maximum of 70%. Further violations may result in course failure or removal from the course without refund.

Course materials are protected by copyright and are for the enrolled student’s personal use only. Sharing login credentials, or copying, recording, or distributing course materials, may result in suspension or removal from the course without refund. See Section 10 (Intellectual Property) of the Certificate Course Handbook.

A student may appeal a removal or a grade of zero under Section 11 (Complaints and Dispute Resolution) of the Certificate Course Handbook.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the extent permitted by law, Wrapture Beauty Academy is not liable for:

  • decisions made by any provincial regulatory body about licensing, certification, or recognition of a course;
  • a student’s misunderstanding of the licensing or certification requirements in their province or territory;
  • employment, business, or income outcomes following a course;
  • treatments a student performs outside Academy-supervised training, including on classmates, family, friends, or clients, and any injury, reaction, or loss that results;
  • the use of kit products other than as taught in the course and as directed by the manufacturer, including use after the product’s expiry date or by anyone other than the student;
  • interruptions to course access caused by the student’s device, software, or internet service.

Students are responsible for obtaining informed consent from anyone they treat and for carrying their own professional liability insurance before offering services to the public.

Where the Academy is found liable, its liability is limited to the course fees the student paid for the course concerned.

Nothing in these Terms limits any right a student has under consumer protection law, or the Academy’s responsibility for its own negligence during Academy-supervised training.

9. Privacy

Wrapture Beauty Academy handles personal information in accordance with Canadian privacy law, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

Personal information collected at registration and during a course is used to administer enrolment, provide course access, communicate about the course, and issue certificates. It is shared only with the service providers the Academy needs to deliver the course, such as its payment processor and learning platform host, or where required by law. Personal information is not sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Students receive promotional emails only if they choose to opt in.

Students may ask to see or correct their personal information by emailing info@wrapturebeautyacademy.com. Full details, including what is collected, how health screening forms are handled, and how long records are kept, are in Section 8 (Privacy and Data Protection) of the Certificate Course Handbook and the Privacy Policy.

10. Changes to These Terms

Wrapture Beauty Academy may update these Terms and Conditions and the Certificate Course Handbook. The current version of each is published on the Academy’s website with its version number and effective date.

Changes to fees, payment terms, refunds, course end dates, or the review period do not apply to students already enrolled. For those students, these terms remain as they were in the version in effect on their enrolment date.

Other changes, such as to conduct expectations or technology requirements, apply to enrolled students from the date they are notified. Where a change materially affects enrolled students, the Academy notifies them by email or through Moodle before the change applies to them.

See Section 12 (Changes to Policies) of the Certificate Course Handbook.

11. Acceptance

Students accept these Terms and Conditions by checking the acceptance box at checkout before payment. Acceptance applies to these Terms, the Certificate Course Handbook, and the Important Regulatory Notice, which form part of this agreement. The Academy keeps a record of each acceptance, including the student’s name, the date, and the version accepted. A student who does not accept these Terms cannot complete enrolment.

12. General

Documents that form this agreement. These Terms and Conditions incorporate the Certificate Course Handbook and the Important Regulatory Notice. Where they differ, these Terms apply, except where the Certificate Course Handbook gives a student greater protection.

Governing law. These Terms are governed by the laws of Manitoba and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. This does not remove any consumer protection right a student has under the law of the province or territory where they live.

Severability. If any part of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the rest remains in effect.
