ERC Institute is committed to providing efficient channels for students to provide feedback or/and to seek resolution for any disputes or grievances in a systematic and impartial manner.

A feedback/complaint may arise from any aspect of the student’s educational experience which they believe to be unwarranted, unreasonable or irrational. This includes unsatisfactory services such as abrupt changes to schedule, delays in assessment results/awarding certificates and poor teaching quality.

Students will have to take note that the University or ERC Institute policies and procedures will take precedence over the dispute resolution process in relation to matters pertaining to student discipline and academic disagreements.

Click here for the Dispute Resolution Policy
Please refer to the following steps which would assist you in the course of provision of feedback and if need be, the resolution of disputes and/or grievances.

The entire process should not take more than 21 working days.

Step 1

Students may provide feedback via the following channels:


All feedback will be acknowledged via email by the QA department within 5 workings days. Your feedback will be investigated by the respective departments involved. The QA department will provide you with a resolution within 7 working days from the date of receipt of feedback.

Step 2

In the event that the resolution offered to you is unsatisfactory, you will be given the choice to escalate the disputed issue to the Head of Department (HOD). The HOD, together with the QA Department, will investigate your dispute and provide you with a resolution within 3 days from the date of appeal to HOD

Step 3

At this point, all disputes and grievances should be resolved within the school and the student. In the unlikely case that mutual agreement cannot be reached, the student may file an appeal to ERCi Senior Management who will approach the issue from an independent perspective. A final resolution will be offered within 7 days from the date of appeal to management.

Step 4

In the event that the student or ERC Institute is unable to resolve the dispute in congeniality, either party may refer the dispute to the CPE Student Services Centre.

According to the CPE Mediation-Arbitration Scheme, parties to a dispute will be referred first for mediation at the Singapore Mediation Centre (SMC). If the dispute is not resolved through mediation, the dispute will be referred for arbitration by an arbitrator appointed by the Singapore Institute of Arbitrators (SIArb).

Significant efforts will be placed in seeking a solution for your disputes or grievances. At ERCi, we care to make a difference.
