FAQ
I paid but I don't have access.
Online payments are usually confirmed within minutes. For PayPro, choose I have paid, check status. If you paid by bank transfer, wait for the school's approval email. If it has been longer than expected, contact your school with your payment reference.
How do I get a refund?
NSDP has a 24-hour refund for every format: a live Zoom or on-campus class within 24 hours of the first class (if you joined after the first class, within 24 hours of payment), a recorded course within 24 hours of payment. Press Request a refund on the course card in your student panel and give a short reason, or contact the helpline 0304 111 0869, WhatsApp 03484350668, support.department@nsdp.pk or the NSDP Rehnuma chat. The card then shows Refund requested. The course fee is refunded and your access is removed. At other schools, contact the school with your payment details.
Do I pay every month?
No. The fee is shown per month, but the whole course fee (the monthly fee × the months the class runs) is paid in advance, in one payment, at checkout.
Was I charged twice?
Contact the school with both references; they can check their payment records.
Which currency do I pay in?
The price shown at checkout, normally PKR.
