InScape Stellenbosch - Back Office Disgrace

InScape Stellenbosch was extremely quick to take a non-refundable deposit and provide a letter of provisional acceptance to my daughter. They demanded us to pay a deposit asap to avoid losing a spot in the BA Marketing Communication program. Unfortunately, my daughter did not fully meet all the requirement, and we had to withdraw. We informed the team on 6 January 2025 and it took 6 written mails and 2 phone calls from my end to get to a point that they share the refund request form. Once completed and sent back, it took another week for them to let me know they require a Bank Confirmation. After I shared bank confirmation, a week later, they asked me to reshare her NSC for audit purposes (which was shared on the 6th of January 2025 already). Needless to say, I was promised a final refund by their accounts department the 24th of January 2025, which once again was brushed off with an excuse of "they only make refunds once a month and I can expect the refund on the 3rd of February 2025". I asked for the case to be escalated to their CFO and I was completely ignored and have not had any subsequent correspondence. It might be rated a decent Institution, but an Educational Institution is only as good as their back office. I'm glad I missed a ticking time bomb as I've not experienced this lack of customer ethics in the past couple of years. Shame on you InScape Stellenbosch!!

Dear Anton.  I am extremely sorry to hear that your experience with Inscape was less than amazing.  We sent you an e-mail confirming that the refund was made today, and hope that your daughter will enjoy the complimentary short course voucher that we added.  Wishing you and your daughter all the best.
