Some items have restrictions:

  • eVouchers - These are non-refundable as these are loaded and emailed to you immediately.

Can I cancel or exchange my online course?

You have 14 days from placing the order to request cancellation for the course providing the course has not been accessed.*

*Please note: Language courses cannot be refunded or exchanged once supplied.

We cannot exchange one course for another.

Can I change my delivery address?

A delivery address change is not usually possible once an order has been placed. We recommend that you double-check the delivery address before you place your order.

If you do need to change the delivery address, please contact us from your account email address with your order reference number and we will do our best to get that updated for you.

Can I get a refund for my Kortext eBook(s)?

We may be able to cancel and refund your order IF the content has not been accessed and you have contacted us within 14 days of the order.

If you have not accessed your Kortext eBook and want to cancel, please request cancellation through your order details.

Can I order a product that's not on the Aspire Demo Portal?

Aspire Demo online shop has millions of products available to order and our product ranges are regularly reviewed and updated. If the product you are interested in is not currently available we hope you can find a suitable alternative to support you with your course.

Apple Products: We do try our best to get in new releases from Apple as they are very popular. The stock availability for these items can be delayed, so we are unlikely to stock these directly after release dates.

Please continue to regularly check your Aspire Demo portal for new products.

We always welcome suggestions for products that will support your studies. To submit your suggestion, contact us here.

Can I print off a paper copy of my eBook(s)?

eBooks are designed to be read on electronics only.

You may be able to print a section of the eBook that you have purchased, but you cannot print a full paper copy of the book due copyright. Each eBook has its own quantity of pages that can be printed set by the publisher.

Can you notify me when a product comes back into stock?

The Aspire Demo online shop is not currently set-up for stock notifications, but this is something that we are looking to develop.

Please note: Stock availability for Apple products is regularly restricted by Apple during the popular Christmas period (November to mid-January). During this time, we do not get estimated times when stock will be arriving with us.

Do I get a certification for completing the course?

Yes, you will receive a certificate on the completion of your course.

Some of the certifications available through academy+ include CPD, RoSPA, CMA and several others. Which certification you be awarded will depend on the course you have chosen and whether you have fully completed/passed the course.

Do I need internet access to read my Kortext eBook(s)?

You will need internet access when you first receive the eBooks as they will need to be downloaded/added to your Kortext account/app. However, once the eBook is downloaded to your app you will be able to read it offline.

More information can be here.

Do I need to top-up my account before placing an order?

No, if you have been awarded funds provided by your institution and they do not cover the full cost of your order you can add a payment method at checkout to pay the difference.

Do you offer discount codes?

At various points throughout the year we may have special offers or discounts!

If we have any valid discount codes available, they may be shown on your Aspire Demo Portal, or if you are opted into marketing emails or text messages, these will be sent to you directly.

How do voucher codes work?

Do you price match products?

Our aim is to offer students the best value and the widest choice of products to support your student journey. As we do not buy products in bulk (like Amazon & Curry's do) we are unable to price match.

Does the online course that I ordered have an expiry date?

The courses do not have an expiry date.*

*The course will only expire if the platform is shut down, but there are no known plans to do this.

How are orders fulfilled?

Aspire Demo online shop uses stock from our own warehouse, as well as external direct delivery suppliers, to fulfil your orders so that we can offer a greater range of products.

This means that you may receive several parcels for your order rather than just one.

We are working to improve visibility on how your order will arrive.

How can I track my order?

Once your order has been has been despatched, an email or text is usually sent from the courier to advise that your order is on its way.

We're excited to advise that we are working on automatically including the tracking information on your order details, so tracking is more accessible.

How do I access the Kortext eBook(s) that I ordered?

Please note: The Kortext account will be set-up under the email address you use to place your order.

What does my order status mean?

Once an order is placed, each item within the order will have an individual status. The status will continue to update until the item has been shipped. It will also update if a product has been returned or lost in transit. 

Order Status Codes:

Your order has been received and is currently being processed. It should be shipped soon. Most orders are shipped within 24 hours.

Your order has been received and the product is on order with the supplier. It will be shipped as soon as stock arrives with us. We would expect stock to arrive with us about a week after the order has been placed but if your item has not arrived within 2 weeks you will be sent a further update.

Your item has been dispatched and your parcel should arrive with you soon. If you haven't already, we'd recommend that you take a quick look at our Postage Policy to see how long it should take and when to get in contact with us if it hasn't arrived.

This order line has been cancelled as per your request and a refund for the product and any related postage has been issued.

This order line has been cancelled by the supplier and a full refund for the product and any related postage has been issued. This is normally due to the supplier no longer being able to supply the product to fulfil your order.

Your parcel has been returned as undelivered and a refund for the product has been issued. Failed delivery can happen if:

  • there was an issue with the delivery address.
  • the delivery was refused.
  • delivery was attempted but no one was in to accept the parcel.
  • the delivery was not called for at the depot after delivery failed.
  • the parcel was not collected from a chosen collection point.

NYP

This product is not yet available - this refers to books that are not yet published for sale, or products that available for pre-order. 

POD

Print on demand - These will normally take longer to arrive as the publishers will often wait for a certain number of orders to come through before they will print copies. This update is also used for books that come over from other countries eg. India and the US as they will naturally take a little longer for stock to arrive. 

Your order is currently paused. If you haven't requested a cancellation or address change, and you can't see the reason on your order, please check your emails (& junk folder) to see if we have tried to get in contact with you. There may be an issue with the address on your order.

What happens to my Kortext account if I no longer have access to my Aspire Demo email address?

It may be that you will need to create a second account with a personal email address and then Kortext will merge the two accounts. However, we would recommend contacting them first to confirm if this is required.

What is difference between PDF and an ePub eBook?

PDF eBooks: These are standard, non-interactive electronic copies of the book.

ePub eBooks: These are more flexible and have an interactive functionality. There is greater ability to adjust how the book displays to suit your needs.

Where can I find a proof of purchase/VAT receipt?

Your order confirmation email and dispatch emails are your proof of purchase. If you specifically need a VAT receipt or a manufacturer requires this as a proof of purchase, please contact us and we will provide you with a PDF proof of purchase once your product(s) have been shipped.

We are working on with our IT team to make a downloadable version available in the future.
