## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: From the course and fee schedule, the provider’s refund and other policies and the student’s offer details, populate the provider’s validated written agreement template with the course, start date, fees and payment schedule, refund terms and the student’s acknowledgements, and list any field the provider has not supplied.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the template meets the National Code’s requirements for written agreements, checks the course, fees and refund terms match what the provider registered and advertises, and approves the template for issue before enrolment.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check the refund terms match the provider’s refund policy and the ESOS framework.
2. Confirm the course code, duration and fees match the provider’s registered course.
3. Confirm the agreement is signed before fees are accepted or enrolment is confirmed.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
