1.The minimum payment to book a course online by credit card is the deposit of £200. The deposit will be subtracted from your final bill (invoice). This deposit is non-refundable, except in the case that we cannot meet your course/accommodation requirements when we receive your application.

2. Upon receipt of the deposit, an invoice will be sent for the balance of fees with a letter of confirmation of your place on the course. Full payment of the balance must be paid 4 weeks before starting the course.

3. Insurance: Students are strongly advised to take out their own travel and medical insurance. Most European students will be entitled to emergency medical treatment as members of the EU, but you are advised to check your insurance cover in case of serious illness. Students are also advised to obtain insurance against loss of fees due to emergencies such as illness or bereavement.

4. While the company will take every reasonable precaution to minimise risk to students, no liability will be accepted unless the cause is proven to be negligence by the company.

5. Cancellation by students can only be accepted in writing and no refunds will be made unless written confirmation of a cancellation request is received. Refunds will be made as follows:
Cancellation received 28 days before start date - loss of deposit only.
Cancellation received 15-27 days before start date - loss of deposit and 50% refund of other fees.
Cancellation received 15 days or less before start date - no refund.

Any other costs which have been paid out on behalf of the student and which we are unable to recover cannot be refunded. In cases where a student has booked through an agent or other third party, any refund request must be directed to the agent.

6. In the case that a student requires a visa and is refused this visa, if the student provides a signed written letter of refusal from the embassy, the school agrees to refund any fees paid, except for the non-refundable deposit of £200 and any other expenses that are not recoverable. This is subject to the cancellation schedule above - so the visa application should be made in good time before course start (at least 16 days) to avoid any loss of fees paid.

7. No liability can be accepted, nor refunds made, nor extra expense incurred if the reasons are shown to be due to circumstances beyond the control of the company, e.g. riot, war, flood, strikes etc.

8. Where a place cannot be offered due to cancellation of the course, or insufficient places on the course being available, the company will try to offer an alternative course of similar value. If the alternative offer is not acceptable, a full refund of fees will be made to the student concerned.
