Please refer to our full terms and conditions for further information regarding our cancellation policy.

An email will be sent notifying you that your course has been cancelled, and you will automatically receive a credit note for the amount paid. Please contact us to have this converted to a refund.

We require a minimum of 7 days' notice (excluding public holidays) to either reschedule or cancel your enrolment.

If you wish to cancel or reschedule your enrolment with less than 7 days (excluding public holidays) prior to your class start date due to extenuating circumstances (e.g., illness), you will need to provide supporting documentation explaining your inability to attend your course (i.e., medical certificate).

Alternatively, you can elect to transfer the enrolment to another individual at no cost. Please contact us for assistance.

Online classes are run through a platform called Zoom, which allows for real-time, interactive classes. Facilitators and participants interact through audio and video, and the facilitator shares their screen with the class for the purpose of demonstrations. Zoom also allows for the class to be split into smaller groups, for group work and other activities. Please ensure that you have a stable internet connection.

Online classes are taught in an interactive webinar format and participants need to be available at the scheduled time to participate. For privacy and consent reasons, we do not record classes.
