We’re fair, clear, and upfront. Here’s exactly how we handle changes — so you know where you stand before booking.
If you cancel 14+ days before your course starts
You’re entitled to a refund minus a non-refundable deposit (usually £25–£35).
That deposit helps cover admin and holds your place. It’s non-refundable in all cases.
If you cancel less than 14 days before the course
We don’t offer refunds — but you may be eligible for a deferral or course credit in exceptional circumstances.
Deferrals — moving to a future course
We offer deferrals for serious illness, injury, or bereavement — with appropriate documentation.
If approved, we’ll move your booking to another course in the same category.
Deferrals are valid for up to 9 months from your original course date.
Course credit
If a refund or deferral isn’t possible, we may offer a one-off credit — valid for any course within 12 months of issue.
What doesn’t qualify for refund or credit?
We can’t offer refunds or credits for:
- Work or rota changes
- Holidays or travel plans
- Double bookings or changes of mind
That’s because your place affects tutor planning, group size, and venue costs — and each course is designed with care.
What if I just miss a week or two?
That’s completely normal. You won’t need to cancel or defer. Read our full article here: What if I miss a class?
Need to talk it through?
If something unexpected comes up, we’ll listen. Get in touch and we’ll talk you through your options.
Summary:
- Cancel 14+ days before = refund minus non-refundable deposit
- Cancel within 14 days = no refund
- Deferral or credit may be offered in exceptional cases
- Deferrals valid for 9 months
- Course credits valid for 12 months
We aim to be fair, transparent and human — while keeping things sustainable for everyone.
