Payments and Refunds

 When you decide to sign up for a class, we will send you an invoice for the course.  If it is less than 90 days before the class, the invoice will be for the full amount of the class, and it is due immediately.

If it is more than 90 days before the class, the bill will be broken in two.  The first payment is due immediately.  The second payment will be due 30 days before the class.

If you sign up for multiple classes, all funds are due before the first class.

For 101, 103, 104, 106 and 108 classes, the bill is divided in half, with 50% due initially and the remainder in the second bill.  For 118, 105, 107, Intro and Maintenance classes, the first payment will be 75% and the remainder 25%.

For all classes, the deposit amount is considered earned when received.  This is because, once we get your payment, we start spending money and committing to contracts which we will not be able to get out of easily.  

For all classes, the full amount is considered earned when received, for the same reason.

Because of this, we will only refund funds when we have to cancel a class.  If we can reschedule you into a following class that works for your schedule, we will do so.  If we cannot, we will refund 100% of the funds that you have paid us.

If you have to cancel your participation, for any reason, we will not be able to refund your payments.

Because of this, we highly recommend that you purchase trip insurance for any class scheduled with us.  We have worked with students over the years and have become very good at knowing what the insurance companies are going to want from you to reimburse you for your class, travel, etc.

If you cancel your participation, we will do our best to find someone to take your seat in the class.  If we can do so, we will offer to allow you to move to a different, equivalent class.  If we cannot find a person to take your seat, you will have to pay to take the class at a different time.
