Cancelling after the course starts:
We recognise that sometimes students’ circumstances change and they may need to leave their course early. If this happens, we cannot refund your tuition fees unless you are cancelling due to circumstances beyond your control. Any refund is at the discretion of the school.
Please note that the minimum we require is 4 weeks’ notice.
If 4 weeks’ notice is given… All homestay accommodation fees will be refunded but no tuition fees will be refunded.
If notice is not given… We will deduct 4 weeks’ homestay accommodation fees from your refund and refund the rest of your homestay accommodation fees but no tuition fees will be refunded
Exceptional circumstances:
Sometimes students book for a very long period so it would not be fair for us not to refund some of their money. If you book a course for more than 6 months and have to leave early, we will refund as much of your money as possible up to a maximum of 50% of the remaining booking.
If you cancel and give notice…6 weeks after your course starts – we will refund a maximum of 50% of your tuition fees as well as your homestay accommodation fees
If you cancel and give notice…7-12 weeks after your course starts - we will refund a maximum of 25% of your tuition fees, as well as your homestay accommodation fees
More than 12 weeks after your course .starts - we will refund 0% of your tuition fees unless you still have more than 6 months left to study. If this is the case, we will refund a maximum of 50% of your tuition fees as well as your homestay accommodation fees
Please note: All refunds are at the discretion of the school. We will look at each case individually and make our decision based on the reasons and evidence provided for your cancellation.
