General Conditions
- The school reserves the right to refuse admission to any student or to dismiss any student in the event of misconduct or unsatisfactory attendance or timekeeping or work, without refund of fees. Please refer to our course disciplinary statement in the handbook.
- Travel, examination fees, coursebooks and the costs of social activities are not included in the fees.
- No liability is accepted by the school for loss of property or damage to property. We strongly recommend students to take out insurance to cover their possessions, as well as medical insurance for themselves.
- We reserve the right to cancel or alter a course or to change course timings. If we do so, we will offer an alternative course or a refund.
- Students should arrive at their accommodation on Saturday or Sunday. For students wishing to arrive on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, one full week's accommodation charge will apply. For students arriving from Thursday onwards a nightly rate will apply (weekly rate divided by 7). All midweek arrivals are subject to availability and may not be possible year-round - please check before booking.
Amendment Charges
- An administration fee of £25 will apply for students wishing to change their course or accommodation in any way.
Cancellation Charges
- In case of the candidate cancelling their place on a course more than 4 weeks before the starting date, the £250 deposit is non-refundable. If accommodation has also been arranged, the £45 accommodation finding fee is non-refundable. The remainder of any other fees paid will be refunded.
- In case of the candidate cancelling their place on a course less than 4 weeks before the start date, the deposit of £250 is non-refundable. The return of other fees can only be considered if we are able to fill the place at short notice.
- In case of the candidate cancelling their place on a course less than 24 hours before the course starts or after the student has started there is no refund in any circumstances.
- Deposits cannot be transferred to another course, course date or candidate refunded.
- Please note that in the event of a trainee withdrawing from the course once it has started, British Study Centres cannot refund fees or offer a place on a subsequent course without payment of further fees. The school can offer guidance on insurance companies which may be able to cover you for this eventuality.
- If accommodation is cancelled more than 1 week before the start date there is a cancellation charge of the accommodation finding fee. If accommodation is cancelled less than 1 week before the start date there is a cancellation charge of the accommodation finding fee plus one week's accommodation charge. If accommodation is cancelled after a student has arrived at the accommodation, two weeks' notice must be given, or two weeks' accommodation charge paid. If a student requests to change accommodation, an additional accommodation finding fee will be charged. If a student decides to leave the accommodation and asks for a refund, this will be possible for those weeks remaining as long as two week's notice is given.
Force Majeure
- In the event of 'force majeure' such as fire, flooding, infectious diseases and other events outside the company's reasonable control which may cause the closure of the school, no refund of fees will be made to students, except at the school's discretion in exceptional circumstances.
