Cancellation Policy

Thank you for registering yourself to learn a lifelong skill. To guarantee your place, a 50% non refundable deposit must be paid on registration for your course. The outstanding balance must be paid in full in order to start the course. Missed classes may not be refunded. Where possible we will accommodate you in another class covering the same material but if you are not available for that class you will need to book a private 2 hour class at a cost of R700. This is a Beginners course and it is essential that you attend every class as there is a lot taught in those 2 hours and it is unfair to the other students if the instructor has to re-teach the previous class material. We are working on videos that might help you catch up missed course material but they are still in process. Should you have registered and be unable to join the course, you may join the next course, later in the year. You are welcome to sell your space on to another person or gift it to a student who may not be able to finance their training.
