Cancellation Policy
 

CANCELLATION BY YOU

Regular Handbuilding sessions:  There is no refund for non-attendance to a session during the course period booked.  If there is availability to attend an alternative session this may be possible at the tutors discretion.  Cancellations with prior notice of two weeks or more before the course start date may be transferred to an alternative session within the 4-week course date period (subject to availability), but that no refund will be offered.  We may charge you a fee to cover our reasonable administration costs for doing so.

If you decide not to attend or to complete the course after the course has started you will not be refunded.  For regular students deciding not to continue on to the next course, we request a notice period of four weeks.

COURSES
Payment in full is required on booking. If you cancel within two weeks of the course start date, 50% of this fee will be refunded.  If you decide not to attend or to complete the course after the course has started you will not be refunded.

If you are unable to attend a session during the course, efforts will be made to move this session into one of the regular sessions held during the week at the tutors discretion and subject to availability.

CANCELLATION BY US
If we cancel your course or session for any reason we will do our best to organise an alternative date within a reasonable period of time.  If this is not possible, or you are unable to attend an alternative date, we will refund the session price.
