CIN: U74999KA2019PTC130959 · NVR Complex, GS Palya Road, Electronic City Phase 1, Bangalore, Karnataka 560100, India
Version 1.2 · Effective 2026-10-13
1. The offer
Refer someone to one of our classroom programmes in Bangalore and earn a
referral bonus for each successful referral:
- Automation Engineer Program (AEP): ₹2,000
- PGDIA: ₹700
- EPGDIA: ₹700
The bonus is the amount for the programme the person actually joins, whichever
programme you named when you referred them. Our free online courses and any
other course carry no referral reward.
There is no limit on the number of people you may refer, and no limit on the
total bonus you may earn, provided each referral independently satisfies these
terms.
2. Who may refer
You may participate if you are:
- a currently enrolled EDWartens student; or
- an EDWartens alumnus.
Employees, trainers, contractors and their immediate family members are not
eligible.
3. What counts as a "successful referral"
A referral becomes successful, and the bonus becomes payable, only when
all of the following are true:
- You registered the referral first. You submitted the person's name, mobile
number and email through the Refer & Earn page in your student portal
before that person enrolled, and before they were already recorded as an
EDWartens lead.
- They were not already known to us. The person had not previously enquired,
registered, been contacted by our team, or been referred by someone else. Where
an existing record exists, the earliest record prevails.
- They enrolled on the AEP, PGDIA or EPGDIA. Enrolment on any other
course, including the free online courses, does not qualify.
- They have paid their course fee IN FULL. This is the decisive condition.
A deposit, a first instalment, or any part payment does not qualify. No
bonus is payable while any amount remains outstanding, and a bonus is not
payable in proportion to a part payment.
- They did not withdraw, and were not refunded, within the qualifying period
in clause 5.
4. How much you earn
- ₹2,000 for each successful referral to the AEP, and
₹700 for each successful referral to PGDIA or EPGDIA. The same
amount every time, however many people you refer.
- The bonus is a gross amount. Any tax payable on it is your responsibility,
and we will deduct tax at source where the law requires it.
- **Rewards may be subject to tax deducted at source (TDS) under the Income-tax
Act, 1961, where applicable.** Where TDS applies, the amount deducted is paid
to the government in your name and the bonus you receive is reduced by it; we
may ask for your PAN before paying, and a higher rate may apply without one.
- The bonus is paid in Indian Rupees, by bank transfer to an account in your name.
5. When you are paid
- Once the referred student's fee is paid in full, we verify the referral.
- A 30-day qualifying period then runs, to allow for any withdrawal or
refund. If the referred student withdraws or is refunded during this period,
no bonus is payable.
- After the qualifying period, we pay within 30 working days of receiving
your bank details and any tax documentation we require.
- If a bonus has already been paid and the referred student is subsequently
refunded in circumstances that would have disqualified the referral, we may
recover the bonus or set it off against any amount we owe you.
6. Tracking your referrals
Every referral you submit appears in your student portal with its current status: submitted, enrolled, fee paid, approved, or paid. You can see exactly where
each one stands, and we will notify you when a status changes.
7. What disqualifies a referral
No bonus is payable where:
- the referred person was already an EDWartens lead, student or alumnus, or had
already been referred by someone else;
- you refer yourself, or use a false, duplicate or misleading identity;
- the referred person did not consent to being referred, or asks us not to
contact them;
- the referral details are inaccurate or cannot be verified;
- the referred person does not pay the fee in full;
- the referred person withdraws or is refunded within the qualifying period;
- you make any false or misleading claim about EDWartens, our programmes, fees,
placement outcomes or the Job Guarantee in order to secure a referral;
- you use spam, bulk messaging, paid advertising using our name or brand, fake
social-media accounts, or any similar method; or
- you are found to have abused or manipulated this programme.
Please represent us honestly. You may share your genuine experience, but you
must not promise outcomes on our behalf. Misrepresenting the Job Guarantee or
placement results will disqualify the referral.
8. Data protection
When you submit a referral you give us that person's personal data. You confirm
that you have their permission to share their name and contact details with
us for this purpose. We process their data in accordance with our Privacy Notice,
we will tell them you referred them, and we will stop contacting them at once if
they ask us to.
9. Changes and ending the programme
We may amend these terms or withdraw the programme at any time. A change does not
affect a referral that has already become successful under clause 3. The version
in force when your referral was submitted is the version that governs it.
10. General
- The programme is offered at our discretion and is not part of your enrolment
agreement. It creates no employment, agency or partnership between us.
- Our decision on whether a referral qualifies is final, subject to clause 11.
- These terms are governed by the laws of India, and the courts at
Bangalore, Karnataka, India have exclusive jurisdiction.
11. Questions and disputes
If you disagree with a decision on a referral, write to info@wartens.com within
30 days setting out the grounds. We will review and respond in writing.
In short: refer as many people as you like; you are paid
₹2,000 for each one who joins the AEP and ₹700 for each one who
joins PGDIA or EPGDIA, once they have paid their fee in full and the 30-day
qualifying period has passed.
