Section 1 Introduction & Applicability

These Terms and Conditions govern the relationship between Mokena Skills Private Limited ("Mokena Skills") and all authorized training entities, partners, or franchisees recognized as an Affiliate Training Center (ATC).

By maintaining an active affiliation status, utilizing our central portal, or enrolling students under Mokena Skills programs, the ATC signifies its irrevocable acceptance of these terms. These rules apply to all past, present, and future enrollments handled by the ATC.

Section 2 Absolute Restriction on Certification & Documentation

• Centralized Issuance Only: All official credentials are generated, verified, and dispatched exclusively by the Mokena Skills Head Office and Authorized Assessment Agencies.

• Any locally printed or digitally forged certificate issued by the ATC bearing any of these logos will be treated as a severe act of fraud, leading to immediate blacklisting, center sealing, and formal legal prosecution for trademark infringement and forgery.

Section 3 Assessment Agency Mandate

Mokena Skills operates under a strict assessment framework validated by authorized third-party agencies. The ATC cannot act as both the trainer and the autonomous examiner.

• The ATC must adhere completely to the examination schedules, proctoring guidelines, and invigilation rules set by our Authorized Assessment Agency.

Transparency in student enrollment is the cornerstone of our affiliation network. The prescribed admission procedure must not be bypassed under any circumstances.

• Every student must be registered on the official Mokena Skills portal within the stipulated timeframe after joining the ATC.

Section 6 Ban on Third-Party Routing

The ATC is strictly prohibited from utilizing the Mokena Skills brand name or associated government logos to attract students, only to route their admissions, assessments, or certifications through external private entities, rival agencies, or unauthorized third-party organizations.

Any evidence of cross-certifying candidates will result in immediate termination of affiliation and potential financial penalties for brand dilution.
