Terms & Conditions

For Small Group Courses and In-Company Training

​

Cancellation 

​If you need to cancel a booking, please inform us in writing as soon as possible. Cancellations will be confirmed in writing, and the following terms apply:

  • If you cancel 2 weeks (14 days) before the course starts, you will receive a 75% refund of the course fee.

  • If you cancel 1 week (7 days) before the course starts, you will receive a 50% refund.

  • Cancellations made within 1 week before the course starts or after it has begun will not be eligible for a refund. The refunded amount cannot be transferred to other courses, lessons, or products.

  • We reserve the right to cancel a course if there is insufficient demand before the specified date. In such cases, we will offer alternative courses or provide a full refund to applicants.

​

Conditions​

All course places will be confirmed upon receipt of full fees, and payment of the tuition fee indicates acceptance of the booking terms and conditions, which are non-refundable. Unfortunately, course fees cannot be reduced if a student is unable to attend the full course. Additionally, group classes typically require a minimum of 4 people and a maximum of 10 people. If a class does not reach the minimum number of participants, it may be cancelled, postponed, or rescheduled to a different day to accommodate the group size requirements. 

​

Amendment Charges​

  • If you would like to make changes to your current bookings once the lesson has started, such as switching to a different class or course, there may be a €10 fee to cover administration costs.

  • If you are unable to continue a course after the lesson starts, refunds may not be offered, but efforts will be made to place you in a similar course. Just remember to provide at least 24 hours' notice for any changes, and be aware of the administration charges that may apply.

 

Group Trial Lessons

  • Each person is limited to one trial lesson, and if you wish to continue studying, you will need to purchase a course.

  • Unfortunately, we are unable to offer refunds for group course trial lessons. Additionally, if you need to reschedule, please make sure to send us a written request at least 7 days before the trial lesson date, as our teacher's schedule is already set.

​​

Missed Lessons​​

  • If you need to stop attending your classes after they have started due to personal reasons, we are unable to provide a refund as your time has already been scheduled with our teachers. Should you wish to switch classes, we will make every effort to place you in the appropriate level, with a €10 administration fee applicable.

  • In the event that you will miss a lesson for any reason, kindly notify both the admin team and your teacher at least 24 hours in advance. The teacher will record the lesson and share it with you after class. Failure to provide 24-hour notice will result in the lesson not being recorded by the teacher.

​

Attendance

  • If a student fails to provide 24 hours' notice before a class (except for emergencies), the teacher will not record the session.

  • Failure to attend or notify within the specified time frame will result in the student being marked as absent.

  • Students must pass the test and maintain at least 70% attendance each term to be eligible for certificates at the term's end.

  • Participating online (live) or watching recordings will not be considered as absence.

  • In cases where students cannot attend offline classes due to commute issues or strikes: 

1) We acknowledge the varying commuting situations and maintain fixed dates for offline courses to ensure fairness.

2) Special circumstances will be addressed individually.

3) In the event that you are unable to attend in-person classes due to a strike, our teacher will record a video on that day.

4) Kindly give a 24-hour notice if you plan to join online, as your attendance will be recorded.

5) We recommend attending offline lessons for optimal learning outcomes.​
