Complaints Policy

Capella welcomes feedback, both compliments and complaints, from all our customers, to help ensure high standards of
service and to identify improvements needed. Capella's Complaints Policy incorporates how to raise a complaint, and details how Capella will respond to a complaint in order to resolve it to the satisfaction of the complainant, prevent recurrence and improve the quality of service.

Should you wish to raise a complaint please refer to our Complaints Policy which is available on Capella's website (see link below) . 

Should a complaint not be resolved internally, a complaint can be taken to an external body, such as an Assessment Organisation or Funding Provider. This could involve one of the next steps, as applicable:

Note: External bodies will not generally accept receipt of a complaint until the Capella Complaints Policy has fully run its course.
