Cancellation/Refund Policy
[Last updated: 26/12/2024]
This refund policy covers two eventualities: 1. We cancel. 2. You cancel. In either eventuality, this policy deals only with the course fee: the cost of travel, accommodation and any other costs/expenses are not covered by, nor relevant to, this policy.
- We cancel
If we were to cancel the course, for any reason, any payment(s) you have made for the course fee would be refunded. Please note that there is a minimum number of participants required to make a course viable. If that number is not reached then cancellation is possible, up to 2 months before the start date of the course. However, this has never happened.
- You cancel
If you need to cancel your attendance on the course for health reasons you would be refunded, upon presentation of a doctor’s note, 50% of the course fee that you have already paid. The course fee is not refundable for any other reason.
Please note:
- It is not possible to roll your fee over to next year (or any subsequent year) for any reason.
- The course fee is not transferable.
- This Refund Policy will be reviewed regularly.
