Skypro Professional Training Centre Student Grievance

In order to maintain a harmonious relationship between Skypro Training Center and its students, it is the policy of the center to provide for the settlement of problems and differences. The primary objectives of this Student Grievance Procedure are to ensure that students have the opportunity to present grievances to Skypro Professional Training Center regarding a certain action or inaction by a Skypro Professional Training Center staff member and that Skypro Professional Training Center has a way of resolving those grievances in a fair and just manner.The student generally must initiate a grievance no later than the end of the Course in which the alleged grievance occurred. If conditions beyond the student's control prohibit filing a grievance during the time, the student should file as soon as reasonably possible. The burden of persuasion to allow for the filing of a late grievance is upon the student.The student should initially address the grievance to the Course Instructor involved unless that person is unavailable or the student believes in good faith that such individual will not deal with the grievance fairly. In such cases, the student is asked to initiate the grievance with the Director of Operations, Patrick Inegite,pinengite@skyprotraining.com. Either the Course Instructor or the Director of Operations will make every reasonable effort to resolve any alleged grievance. Within the email, please explain the nature of the grievance, giving specific information, including the course name, dates, time, witnesses, and the desired outcome. Any additional information and/or supporting documentation should be attached to the email. The Course Instructor or Director of Operations may decide to conduct an informal investigation as warranted. Based upon the investigation, the Course Instructor or Director of Operations shall make a determination and submit his or her decision in writing to the student within thirty calendar days of receipt of the student’s grievance.
