Course content may vary depending on the client’s needs or the instructor’s recommendations. This is in the client’s interest and can be changed at any time by the instructor. The course start and test dates will be agreed on booking but the tuition times will be agreed between the pupil and the instructor.

Should a client require a formal invoice please request this on booking. No other refund of monies paid will be given or changes to the course unless 21 clear working days’ notice has been given. Any cheques returned to us unpaid will result in a £10 charge per cheque which the Company is charged by its bank.
Test fees cannot be refunded. The Company cannot be held responsible for the cancellation of a test due to unforeseen circumstances. Should you wish to change the dates of your course following payment this may incur a charge of £50.00 and should not be within 21 days of the course’s start date.
