If you cancel less than 6 weeks before the class, we do not offer any refund and will retain 100% of your payment.

Your non-attendance of the class due to illness or personal circumstances does not provide the right to a refund or credit.

If your class is cancelled by us, you will be able to book another class of equal value or receive a refund of the cost of the class.  We shall not be liable for any other consequential loss. 

Some of our classes/courses require a minimum number of enrolments. Where the courses do not reach the minimum number required, they may be cancelled no later than 7 days before they are due to start. In this circumstance you will be able to book another class of equal value or receive a refund of the cost of the class.  We shall not be liable for any other consequential loss.
