SLA Reconsideration Fee

  • Inspire Global Assessments checks assessment scores carefully before releasing your performance report. You can request a reconsideration of your SLA results if you believe your performance report does not reflect your performance during the assessment. 
  • We do not allow reconsideration of the CBA results. If you encountered an incident while taking the CBA that requires review, you must contact us within three business days of your CBA.
  • If you request a reconsideration of your SLA, assessors who did not score your original assessment will review the recorded videos of your SLA to confirm that the original assessors scored all of the skills you demonstrated. We will then issue a new performance report that combines your original CBA scores and your final SLA scores. You may request only one reconsideration; all reconsideration results are final.
  • You must request a reconsideration within 15 days of receiving your performance report. We cannot conduct reconsiderations after this 15-day period has passed. 
  • Typically, it takes 21 days to complete a reconsideration, starting from the date Inspire Global Assessments receives your request.
  • To request a reconsideration, complete this form.

CAD $350, to cover the administrative and assessor time involved in your reconsideration

Withdrawal and Refunds

  • If you need to withdraw from the Inspire Global Assessment assessment, we can refund your assessment fees up to 60 days prior to your scheduled assessment. 
  • We cannot offer refunds for withdrawals that occur fewer than 30 days prior to your scheduled assessment.
