IMPORTANT - To pay by Cheque, postal order or over the Phone, fill out your details on our booking form and then please select the 'Pay by cheque or phone' option (this will give you the cheque postal address or number to call if you wish to pay over the phone). However, places cannot be confirmed until the deposit has been received and due to small classes it is on a first come first served basis with regards to deposit payments to be fair on everyone.
Please note we do not give out the full address of the venue one our web site because in the past sometimes students have turned up on the day hoping to join a full class which is not possible. A deposit payment has to be taken first to secure your booking & wasted journeys are now avoided by us giving out full address details after a booking has been taken!
Booking for more than one place - If you wish to book more than one place for your chosen course you can easily do when you book online with our simple booking service. There is a plus and minus option so you can increase or decrease the amount of people you wish to book.
Want to book more than one course? You can easily book more than one course in one go. Any previous courses booked will be saved in your cart and any new ones will be added making it easy to book more than one course at a time.
Places Available - All dates and availability are updated live as you book, once the deposit has been paid online. Please note the numbers available which are showing are correct on a minute to minute basis and will show full as soon as the course date becomes fully booked.
PAYMENT: Remember you only have to pay a small deposit to secure your place, we do not take the full course fee this is then paid
directly to the tutor who will contact you with these details. You can pay them straight away or up to 14 days before your course starts giving you time to budget if needed.
Last minute bookings - Yes you can book last minute (you can book up to the evening before) you can pay cash or cheque on
the day. Due to small classes places are only booked once the deposit has been paid & it is on a first come first served basis, early
bookings are advised due to small classes & limited places.
Booking Conditions - Due to limited places for our courses all deposits are strictly non-refundable & non transferable. However in
the unlikely event the course date you have chosen is cancelled by the tutor you will be offered an alternative date, if you cannot
attend this date the tutor will refund your deposit and or full course fee if this has also been paid. The course will usually go ahead
if there are at least 2 people booked on, it is very rare that a course is cancelled.
