Cancel Blake Elearning: Step-by-Step Guide
How to cancel blake eLearning in south africa and recover your refund
What is blake eLearning
Blake eLearning is an online education platform that delivers subscription-based courses and self-paced training materials for individual learners and organisations across South Africa and beyond. You choose flexible digital learning on your own schedule, with both monthly and annual subscription options available through their platform.
How the platform works
Blake eLearning operates as a managed learning environment where you access course content immediately after subscribing. Your subscription renews automatically each month or year unless you cancel in writing before your next billing date. The company maintains offices in Australia (Leichhardt, New South Wales) and holds a registered correspondence address in the United Kingdom.
Subscription flexibility and commitment
You can choose between monthly flexibility or annual savings. However, the platform enforces a written cancellation requirement - you cannot cancel through the website dashboard alone. This means you must take active steps to stop your subscription and communicate directly with the vendor to avoid unwanted renewals.
Why you might cancel blake eLearning
Life changes, and your learning priorities do too. You might cancel because course content didn't match your expectations, you've completed your learning goals, the subscription cost doesn't fit your budget anymore, or you've found a better platform elsewhere.
Common reasons to step back
You may discover that the course material moves too slowly for your pace, or you've realised you need instructor-led training rather than self-paced modules. Budget constraints often trigger cancellation decisions - especially if you've already paid for a full annual subscription. Some users cancel because they want to explore competing platforms with different teaching styles or specialisations.
When cancellation protects your rights
South African consumer law gives you powerful protection. Under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act No 25 of 2002, you have a statutory 7-day cooling-off period for electronic services like Blake eLearning. This right exists independently of Blake eLearning's own refund policy - and it's a crucial safety net that Stopee recommends you understand before committing to any annual plan.
Your cancellation options and methods
Blake eLearning requires written notice to cancel your subscription. You cannot cancel through the platform itself; instead, you must submit a formal written request to their cancellation email address.
The primary cancellation method
You submit a written cancellation notice by email to info@speccon.co.za. This is Blake eLearning's official cancellation contact. The vendor's terms and conditions specify that written notice is mandatory before your next billing date to stop renewal charges.
Why written notice matters
Email creates a dated record of your cancellation request. This paper trail protects you if disputes arise later. Blake eLearning cannot claim they never received your cancellation if you have a delivery receipt and copy of your sent email. This is why Stopee always advises customers to document every interaction with their subscription provider.
Step-by-step cancellation guide
Follow these precise steps to cancel Blake eLearning and protect your refund eligibility in South Africa.
- Gather your subscription details from your account dashboard or email receipts
- Find your account email address used to register with Blake eLearning
- Locate your most recent invoice or order confirmation showing your subscription type (monthly or annual) and purchase date
- Note your current billing date and when your next renewal is scheduled
- Check your purchase date to determine refund eligibility
- If you purchased within the last 7 days, you qualify for a full refund under South African consumer law (cooling-off period)
- For annual subscriptions purchased 8-30 days ago, Blake eLearning's policy allows 70% refund
- Beyond 30 days, no refund applies under Blake eLearning's vendor terms (though statutory rights may still apply)
- Compose your written cancellation notice as a formal email
- Include your full name exactly as it appears on your account
- State your registered account email address
- Specify your subscription type: "Monthly subscription" or "Annual subscription"
- Write the exact date you wish the cancellation to take effect (typically the last day of your current billing period)
- Request a confirmation email from Blake eLearning acknowledging receipt and the effective cancellation date
- Send your cancellation email to info@speccon.co.za with a clear subject line
- Use subject line: "Subscription cancellation request - [Your Account Email]"
- Send from the email address registered with Blake eLearning
- Keep a copy of your sent message in a dedicated folder
- Confirm receipt and document the vendor's response
- Wait 2-3 business days for a confirmation email from Blake eLearning
- The vendor must acknowledge your cancellation and state when it becomes effective
- Take a screenshot of their confirmation and save it alongside your original cancellation email
- Warning: If Blake eLearning does not reply within 5 business days, send a follow-up email referencing your original request
- Monitor your bank or credit card for the final billing cycle
- Verify that no charge appears after your stated cancellation date
- If an unexpected renewal charge appears, contact your bank and provide Blake eLearning written notice of the unauthorised transaction
- File a dispute with your payment provider immediately if the charge continues
Refund policy and your entitlements in south africa
Blake eLearning's refund policy differs for monthly and annual subscriptions. Understanding which applies to you is essential before you cancel - Stopee helps thousands of customers identify hidden refund eligibility every month.
Annual subscription refunds
If you hold an annual subscription, Blake eLearning's policy offers tiered refunds based on how long you've owned the subscription:
- Days 1-7 after purchase: 100% refund of your full annual subscription cost
- Days 8-30 after purchase: 70% refund of your annual subscription cost
- After 30 days: No refund under the vendor's terms and conditions
Pro tip: The first 7 days align perfectly with South Africa's statutory cooling-off period. If you purchased your annual subscription within the last week, you have both Blake eLearning's 100% refund guarantee and your legal right under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act. Use this leverage - you're protected twice over.
Monthly subscription refunds
Blake eLearning does not refund monthly subscriptions at any point after purchase, according to their terms and conditions. This is the vendor's standard policy. However, this does not override your consumer rights in South Africa.
How south african consumer law changes the picture
The Electronic Communications and Transactions Act No 25 of 2002 grants you a statutory 7-day cooling-off right for distance contracts involving electronic services. This applies to both monthly and annual subscriptions purchased within the last seven days. You are entitled to cancel without penalty and receive a full refund, regardless of Blake eLearning's "no refund" policy on monthly plans.
This is crucial: vendor policy cannot override statutory consumer law in South Africa. If you cancel within 7 days, you can claim a full refund under the Act even if Blake eLearning initially denies one.
Pricing and plan comparison
Blake eLearning does not publish pricing publicly. You must contact the vendor directly to receive accurate costs for your chosen subscription level.
How to request pricing
Email info@speccon.co.za and request a detailed quote including the monthly cost, annual cost, subscription duration, and any current promotional discounts. Ask the vendor to clarify whether the price you're quoted is final or if discounts apply for upfront annual payment.
| Subscription type | Billing period | Price in ZAR | Refund window |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | Monthly renewal | Contact vendor for pricing | 7-day statutory right; no vendor refund thereafter |
| Annual subscription | Annual renewal | Contact vendor for pricing | 100% refund (days 1-7); 70% refund (days 8-30) |
Pro tip: Before committing to an annual plan, request a trial or sample course access. The 7-day cooling-off period is your safety net, but you'll make a smarter decision if you test the platform first.
What happens after you cancel blake eLearning
Cancellation doesn't mean immediate loss of access. Understanding the timeline protects you from surprises.
Your access during and after cancellation
You retain full access to course content until the end of your current paid billing period. If you cancel mid-month with a monthly subscription, you can continue learning until the end of that month. If you hold an annual subscription and cancel in month 3, you maintain access through month 12 (the full year you paid for).
After your billing period ends, your account access stops automatically. Blake eLearning's platform will lock you out - you'll no longer see course materials, your progress, or downloadable resources. Plan ahead: download or screenshot any course materials you need before the final billing date.
Auto-renewal and confirmation
Once Blake eLearning receives your written cancellation notice before the next billing date, auto-renewal stops. Your subscription does not roll forward. However, verify this happened by checking your bank or credit card for 30 days after the stated cancellation date. If an unexpected charge appears, contact Blake eLearning immediately with a copy of your cancellation email and request a reversal.
Your personal data and account
Blake eLearning retains your account data, learning history, and personal information according to their privacy policy and terms and conditions. If you want your data deleted, submit a separate written request to info@speccon.co.za asking for account deletion under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA). The vendor must respond within 20 business days.
Your consumer rights under south african law
South Africa grants you powerful protections when you buy digital services online. Stopee recommends all subscribers understand these rights before they sign up.
The 7-day cooling-off period
Under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act No 25 of 2002, you have a statutory 7-day cooling-off period for distance contracts (online purchases) involving electronic services. This period runs from the date you receive your order confirmation email or first access to the service, whichever is later.
During this 7-day window, you can cancel for any reason - or no reason at all - without penalty. Blake eLearning must refund your full payment. This right applies to monthly and annual subscriptions alike.
How to invoke your cooling-off right
Send written notice to info@speccon.co.za stating: "I wish to cancel my subscription under my statutory cooling-off right as a consumer in South Africa, under the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act No 25 of 2002. My purchase date was [date]. Please refund my full payment." Include your account email and order reference. Blake eLearning has 30 days to process your refund.
What happens if blake eLearning refuses
If the vendor denies your refund after you've invoked your statutory right, you can escalate to the National Consumer Commission (NCC) or your provincial consumer protection authority. These bodies enforce consumer rights and can compel refunds. Stopee advises keeping all written correspondence for this escalation.
The vendor's terms and conditions
Blake eLearning's full terms and conditions are published at: training.elearning.co.za/CompanyPolicies/TermsAndConditions. Review these before cancelling to understand the vendor's position on refunds, data retention, and dispute resolution.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellations often fail because customers overlook small but critical details. These mistakes leave you vulnerable to unwanted charges and missed refunds.
Not requesting written confirmation
Many customers email their cancellation request but never follow up for confirmation. Blake eLearning may receive your email, but without documented proof that they acknowledged it and confirmed the cancellation date, you have no evidence if a dispute arises later. Always ask Blake eLearning to reply with a confirmation email stating the exact date your subscription ends.
Missing the refund window deadlines
The 7-day cooling-off period and Blake eLearning's 70% refund window (days 8-30) have firm cutoff dates. If you cancel on day 31 for an annual plan, you lose all refund rights under the vendor's policy. Calculate your purchase date carefully - count from the order confirmation email, not from when you first logged in.
Cancelling too close to billing day
If your renewal date is tomorrow and you cancel today, Blake eLearning may still process tomorrow's charge. The vendor's requirement for written notice "before the next billing period" means you should cancel at least 3-5 business days before renewal. If you miss this window, contact your bank immediately to dispute the charge as unauthorised.
Forgetting to cancel auto-payment on file
Cancelling the subscription does not automatically delete your saved credit card or bank details from Blake eLearning's system. The vendor retains this payment method for their records. If you're concerned about security, request that Blake eLearning delete your payment details separately in a follow-up email.
Assuming phone or chat cancellations work
Blake eLearning specifies written cancellation via email. If you call or use live chat and think you've cancelled, you likely haven't. The only valid cancellation method is an email to info@speccon.co.za. Always confirm this with the vendor before ending any conversation.

Should you cancel or keep your blake eLearning subscription
Only you can decide if Blake eLearning delivers value. Here's how to weigh the decision.
Keep your subscription if
You're actively completing courses and gaining skills relevant to your career or personal goals. Your monthly cost fits comfortably in your budget without sacrificing other needs. You prefer self-paced learning and find the course structure and teaching style effective. You've already renewed once and plan to continue learning for at least another 3-6 months.
Cancel if
You've lost interest or completed your learning objective. The course content doesn't match what was advertised or what you expected. You've found a cheaper or more engaging alternative. You're within 7 days of purchase and want to explore other platforms risk-free. Your financial situation has changed and the cost is now a burden. You prefer instructor-led or live training over self-paced modules.
Contact information and next steps
Blake eLearning's official cancellation contact is info@speccon.co.za. Send all written cancellation notices and refund requests to this address.
What to include in your email
Your full name, registered account email, subscription type (monthly or annual), purchase date, and the date you request the cancellation to take effect. Request written confirmation of receipt and the effective cancellation date.
If blake eLearning doesn't respond
Send a follow-up email after 5 business days if you don't receive a confirmation. Reference your original cancellation request and deadline. If the vendor still fails to acknowledge your cancellation or refuses to issue a refund you're entitled to, escalate to the National Consumer Commission or your provincial consumer authority.
