Confirmed places that are cancelled in writing by an applicant, and received at the Centre no less than 8 weeks prior to the start date, will result in a refund of the course fee less a 25% administration charge.

Cancellations by applicants within 8 weeks of the start date will result in the full fee being forfeited. In the case of genuine illness, when a doctor’s certificate must be produced, the Centre will refund 50% of the course fee. However, please note that any cancellations on or after the start date will result in the full fee being forfeited. All cancellations must be in writing.

5. Insurance
The Centre’s insurance covers all legal liabilities of the Centre to clients, but does not cover personal accident or loss where there is no liability on the part of the Centre or its employees.

Clients are therefore strongly advised to take out insurance to cover the risk of personal accident, liability or loss of personal effects and also the risk of cancellation.
