Frequently asked questions
Cancel Bma: Step-by-Step Guide for Nigerians
How to cancel your BMA training course in nigeria and recover your fees
What BMA is and why you need to cancel
BMA (Business Maker Academy) is a training provider that delivers instructor-led business and professional courses across Nigeria. You enroll in scheduled cohorts, pay your course fees upfront in Nigerian Naira (₦), and attend sessions on predetermined dates. If your circumstances change, you discover the course does not meet your needs, or financial hardship strikes, you have cancellation options-but timing and process are critical. At Yafee, we help thousands of Nigerians navigate training cancellations every month, and we know the procedural pitfalls that cost people money.
How BMA operates
BMA runs a cohort-based model. You register for a specific training program, submit payment directly to the provider, and gain access to instructor-led sessions held on fixed dates. Administrative decisions-including cancellation windows, rescheduling limits, and refund eligibility-are governed by BMA's published Exchange and Refund Policy. Course delivery is not managed through app stores; it is a direct contractual arrangement between you and the training provider. This matters because your cancellation rights flow directly from the contract you signed, not from a third-party platform's terms.
Why timing matters for your cancellation
BMA enforces strict deadlines for cancellations and refunds. Miss the window, and you forfeit your entire payment. Whether your job situation changed, you discovered better value elsewhere, or the course no longer aligns with your career goals, canceling swiftly protects your money. Yafee exists to help you understand those deadlines and move through cancellation without losing your funds to unnecessary delays.
Your consumer rights when canceling BMA in nigeria
Nigerian consumer law sets a baseline for your protection, though BMA's contractual terms operate within that framework.
Federal competition and consumer protection act and training services
Nigeria's Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Act (FCCPA, 2018) protects you against unfair contract terms, misleading claims, and failure to deliver promised services. However, the FCCPA does not guarantee a blanket 14-day cooling-off period for all services the way some jurisdictions do. Training courses-as services with scheduled delivery dates-are typically governed by the provider's published policy and the contract you signed at enrollment.
That said, you retain the right to demand a refund if BMA fails to deliver the course as advertised, cancels a session without notice, or breaches the terms of the agreement. Furthermore, you can claim a refund if BMA makes misleading statements about course content, duration, or instructor credentials. If BMA refuses to honor a legitimate refund claim, you can escalate to the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (FCCPC), Nigeria's official consumer protection authority.
Your legal position
Your strongest refund claim rests on BMA's own published Exchange and Refund Policy and on the FCCPA's prohibition against unfair contract terms. If you cancel within BMA's stated window, you have a contractual right to your refund. If BMA rejects your claim or fails to process it within a reasonable timeframe (typically 30 days), you can file a complaint with the FCCPC at [email protected] and cite both the contract breach and the FCCPA violation.
BMA course pricing and typical fee structures
BMA's course costs vary based on program type, duration, and delivery format; no single public rate card is published.
Training fee breakdown and refund deductions
| Course or service type | Typical price range (NGN) | How to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| Standard business training programs | ₦50,000-₦500,000 | Email BMA directly with course title |
| Short-form workshops (1-3 days) | ₦15,000-₦100,000 | Verify with latest enrollment brochure |
| Corporate or custom training | ₦200,000+ | Request a formal quotation from BMA |
| Rescheduling fee (if applicable) | ₦2,000-₦10,000 | Check BMA's Exchange and Refund Policy |
| Refund processing fee (on approvals) | 5% of refunded amount | Deducted automatically upon approval |
| Bank transfer charges (your bank) | ₦0-₦5,000 (varies by bank) | Contact your bank for fee schedule |
Should you cancel your BMA course
Before you proceed with cancellation, weigh the financial and contractual implications of your decision.
Reasons to cancel your BMA enrollment
You should cancel if the course no longer aligns with your career goals, if unexpected financial hardship prevents you from attending, if BMA has breached the contract (for example, by changing the course schedule without notice or replacing the advertised instructor), or if you discover the course content does not match the description you received at enrollment. Additionally, if you enrolled under duress, if the provider made false claims, or if you simply changed your mind within BMA's cooling-off window, cancellation is justified and likely to succeed.
Reasons to keep your BMA enrollment
Conversely, you should keep your enrollment if you have already attended a significant portion of the course and are unlikely to recover more than a small fraction of your fees. Most training providers refund on a pro-rata basis or impose a non-refundable portion after the first session. Furthermore, if you paid via installment and only a few payments remain, the cost of cancellation (processing fees and bank charges) may exceed what you recover. Finally, if you can reschedule to a later cohort at no extra charge, rescheduling may preserve your investment better than cancellation.
How to cancel your BMA course
Follow this step-by-step procedure to initiate your cancellation and protect your refund.
Step 1: gather your enrollment documents
Before you contact BMA, collect your enrollment receipt, invoice, course schedule, and any email confirmations from the provider. These documents prove your registration date and the course start date-critical information if a dispute arises. You will also need to identify the exact cancellation deadline stated in your contract or BMA's Exchange and Refund Policy. Yafee recommends you photograph or scan these documents and store them in a folder labeled with your enrollment date, course name, and amount paid.
Step 2: check BMA's cancellation deadline
Review your enrollment agreement or BMA's website for the cancellation window. Typically, training providers allow cancellations up to 7 to 14 days before the course start date. If the course has already begun, ask BMA whether a pro-rata refund is available. Document the exact deadline in writing (via email to yourself if necessary) so you have proof of when you learned the deadline. Do not rely on verbal assurances from BMA staff; written confirmation is essential.
Step 3: prepare your cancellation request in writing
Draft a brief, formal email or letter to BMA requesting cancellation. Include the following information:
- Your full name and email address
- Your enrollment date and course name
- The amount you paid (in NGN)
- The reason for cancellation (be factual and concise)
- Your request for a full or pro-rata refund, citing BMA's Exchange and Refund Policy
- Your preferred refund method (bank transfer or payment method you used)
- A request for written confirmation of receipt within 48 hours
Keep the tone professional and unemotional. Avoid accusations or threats; focus on the contract and your legal rights. Yafee advises you to attach scans of your enrollment receipt and payment proof as supporting evidence.
Step 4: submit your cancellation request to BMA
Send your cancellation email to BMA's primary email address or submit it via their official contact form on their website. If BMA provides a dedicated cancellation email address, use that. Furthermore, if BMA has a physical office address, send a hard copy of your cancellation request via registered mail or courier so you have proof of delivery. In Nigeria, the postal and courier system can be unreliable, so prioritize email and keep a record of the timestamp.
The only explicit postal address for BMA Travel and Tours LTD (the parent organization) is available for formal correspondence. Use this address only if email fails or if you need escalation to a complaints officer.
Step 5: track BMA's response and follow up
BMA should acknowledge receipt of your cancellation request within 48 hours and provide a status update within 7 working days. If you do not hear back within this timeframe, send a follow-up email with a copy of your original request and mark it "URGENT: Follow-up to Cancellation Request." Document every communication with dates and timestamps. If BMA's response is unclear or appears to reject your claim unfairly, Yafee recommends you respond immediately with a letter referencing the specific clause in their Exchange and Refund Policy that supports your position.
Step 6: request refund processing and confirm receipt
Once BMA approves your cancellation, ask for a confirmation email stating the refund amount (after deductions), the expected processing timeframe (typically 7-14 business days), and the refund method. Ensure the email specifies the bank account details or payment method to which the refund will be sent. Do not assume the refund will go to the original payment method; always confirm. After you receive the refund, verify the amount matches the approved figure and check that all deductions were correct according to BMA's published policy.
Refund timelines and what to expect
Understanding BMA's refund process prevents frustration and helps you recognize when the provider is delaying unreasonably.
Standard refund processing timeline
Consequently, once BMA approves your cancellation and deducts its processing fee, the refund typically takes 7 to 14 business days to reach your account. This window covers BMA's internal processing (2-3 days) plus your bank's transfer time (5-10 days). If your refund does not arrive within 21 calendar days of approval, contact BMA immediately and escalate to your bank to confirm the transfer was initiated. In Nigeria, inter-bank transfers occasionally encounter delays due to network issues, so verify with your bank before assuming BMA is at fault.
Refund deductions and what is permissible
BMA may deduct a processing fee (typically 5% of the refund) and administrative costs for services already rendered up to your cancellation date. However, BMA cannot deduct more than a reasonable pro-rata portion of the course fee if you have not yet attended any sessions. If you have attended 1 or 2 sessions, BMA may apply a higher deduction (for example, 25-50% of the course fee), depending on their policy. Yafee advises you to scrutinize the deductions on your refund approval and dispute any charge that seems excessive or not covered by their published policy.
After your cancellation is complete
Once BMA processes your refund, you have a few important actions to take to protect yourself.
Verify the refund amount and reconcile your records
As soon as the refund appears in your account, verify that it matches the approved refund amount. Compare it against the approved cancellation email from BMA. If the amount is short or does not match, contact BMA immediately and request clarification. Keep a screenshot or bank statement extract showing the refund amount, date, and reference number. Store these alongside your original receipt and cancellation correspondence. You may need this evidence if you later need to file a complaint with the FCCPC or pursue a claim against BMA.
Document the closure and request a formal cancellation letter
Ask BMA to send you a formal cancellation letter stating that your enrollment has been terminated, all refunds have been processed, and you have no further financial obligations to them. This letter serves as proof that you are not liable for any future course fees or communications from BMA. File it with your cancellation documentation. Furthermore, update your personal records to mark the course as "cancelled-refund processed" with the date and amount. This prevents you from accidentally paying a second invoice or becoming confused about your status if BMA sends you a reminder email.
Monitor for unauthorized charges
For the next 60 days, monitor your bank statements weekly for any unexpected charges from BMA or associated payment processors. In rare cases, providers attempt to process late payments or levy surprise administrative fees after a cancellation. If you spot any unauthorized charge, contact your bank immediately and file a dispute. Furthermore, inform BMA that you have received an unexpected charge and request immediate reversal with proof of your cancellation.
Common mistakes that delay your refund
Cancellation delays and refund rejections are preventable if you avoid these pitfalls-and you have more control over the outcome than you may realize.
Mistake 1: canceling verbally or via social media
Never cancel your BMA course via phone call, WhatsApp message, or social media comment. BMA staff may forget your request, or the organization may claim they have no record of your cancellation. Always submit your cancellation in writing via email so you have a timestamped record. If BMA's website does not provide an email address, use their contact form and request written confirmation of receipt within 48 hours. Yafee has seen hundreds of cancellations delayed because the enrollee assumed a verbal request would suffice.
Mistake 2: missing the cancellation deadline
If you miss BMA's published cancellation deadline, you forfeit your refund eligibility entirely. Check your enrollment agreement for the exact deadline (typically 7-14 days before course start). Set a phone reminder 10 days before the course begins so you do not accidentally slip past the window. If you are unsure of the deadline, email BMA immediately and ask them to confirm it in writing.
Mistake 3: not citing BMA's own policy in your request
When you submit your cancellation request, quote the relevant clause from BMA's Exchange and Refund Policy. This demonstrates that you understand your rights and have done your homework. Consequently, BMA is far more likely to approve your cancellation without delay if you reference their own policy. Generic requests like "I want to cancel and get my money back" lack authority; specific requests with policy citations are harder to dismiss.
Mistake 4: assuming the refund will go to your original payment method
BMA may refund you via bank transfer, cheque, or payment wallet-not necessarily the method you used to pay. Always ask BMA in writing which method they will use and provide your bank account details or preferred payment information. Do not assume; confirm in advance. This prevents refunds being sent to the wrong account and becoming stranded.
Mistake 5: not following up if you do not hear back
If BMA does not respond to your cancellation request within 7 days, send a follow-up email immediately. Do not wait 14 days hoping they will reply. The sooner you escalate internally, the sooner you can escalate to the FCCPC if necessary. Furthermore, each follow-up creates a paper trail showing that you acted diligently and that BMA is the party dragging its feet. This evidence is invaluable if you later file a complaint.
What to do if BMA refuses your refund
If BMA rejects your cancellation claim or stops responding, you have formal escalation routes available under Nigerian law.
Step 1: send a formal demand letter
Draft a professional letter reiterating your cancellation request and citing BMA's Exchange and Refund Policy and the FCCPA. State that you expect a response within 14 days of receipt. Send this letter via registered mail or courier so you have proof of delivery. Keep a copy for your records. In this letter, clearly state that if BMA does not respond or continues to refuse, you will file a complaint with the FCCPC.
Step 2: file a complaint with the FCCPC
If BMA continues to refuse or does not respond within 14 days, file a formal complaint with the Federal Competition and Consumer Protection Commission at [email protected] or via their online portal at www.fccpc.gov.ng. Include all documentation: your enrollment receipt, cancellation request email, BMA's responses (or lack thereof), and your demand letter. The FCCPC will investigate and, if it finds BMA in breach of the FCCPA, may order the company to refund you plus interest and penalty fees.
Step 3: pursue recovery through small claims or civil court
Consequently, if the FCCPC process is slow or unsuccessful, you can file a claim in a magistrate's court (for amounts up to ₦500,000) or a high court for larger claims. Yafee advises you to consult a Nigerian consumer law attorney before pursuing court action, as legal fees may exceed the refund amount. However, if BMA owes you a substantial sum and refuses to pay, court action may be your only option.
Key documents and evidence you need
Maintaining a clear file of evidence strengthens your position at every stage of cancellation.

Comparing cancellation outcomes
The refund you receive depends on when you cancel relative to the course start date.
Refund scenarios and expected outcomes
| When you cancel | Typical refund (% of course fee) | Deductions | Expected outcome |
|---|---|---|---|
| Before enrollment deadline (7-14 days before start) | 90-100% | 5% processing fee only | Near-full refund; fastest approval |
| After deadline but before course starts (1-7 days) | 50-75% | 5% processing + administrative fees | Partial refund; may require manager approval |
| During first session or after 1st attendance | 25-50% | 5% processing + high administrative deduction | Reduced refund; check pro-rata policy |
| After course completion (75% or more attended) | 0-10% | Full course fee retained; minimal refund | Unlikely to recover funds; escalation not recommended |
| If BMA cancels or breaches contract | 100% (or more) | No deductions; plus damages possible | Full refund guaranteed; pursue FCCPC if delayed |
