I had enroled for a course in IT, it didn't have any criteria and invited students from all backgrounds. During first week itself I found it difficult and told them I needed to quit, but they persuaded me that it's the nature of the course and everything will be alright in weeks. Now I'm in the 5th week and still don't understand the things being taught. I told them I'm quitting no matter what.
The total duration of the course is 12 weeks and the duration I attended is 5 weeks. I had paid $2800 of $11500 and they told need I to pay the rest even if I quit. They got me to sign a digital signature stating that withdrawal within 1 week will account for 25% of the total fee and after that liable for full fees.
I was told it was normal and I waited till week 5 to get the things that they are teaching. I could only get only 20% of what they were teaching. There are 7 guys in the batch and it seems I'm the only one having the issue.
They have arranged a meeting tomorrow but I don't want to continue.
Can I get my money back legally under Australian Consumer Law or stop paying them further?
