The student contract is a critical document that governs the relationship between KKIS and the student. KKIS ensures that students understand and agree to the terms and conditions stated in the student contract and Advisory Note before signing it.  It needs to be signed before the course fee is paid.

KKIS adopts CPE Standard Student PEI-Student contract (Version 4.0) for all students recruited. KKIS will honour all terms and conditions spelt out in the contract and in all communication materials.

The Fee Protection Scheme (FPS) aims to protect the student’s course fees in the event that a Private Education Institution (PEI) is unable to continue operations due to insolvency or regulatory closure.

Kindle Kids International School has appointed Lonpac Insurance Berhad to be the FPS provider for our students.
